First prototype of the Ka-27, the D2-01, differs from later production helicopters in having a Ka-25 forward fuselage section. It also lacks the fin leading edge slots of later models.

Search-and-rescue Ka-27PS are fitted with a 300kg electric winch and carry two radio marker buoys under the tailboom. A third buoy, carried in the rear of the tailboom, is a standard feature of other Helix variants and is ejected in the event of the helicopter sinking.

Cockpits of the three basic Helix variants have almost identical instrumentation and controls for the pilot (left hand seat). The right hand stations are configured to suit specific versions: Anti-submarine Ka-27. Large radar screen with rubber shield dominates the navigator's station.

Cockpits of the three basic Helix variants have almost identical instrumentation and controls for the pilot (left hand seat). The right hand stations are configured to suit specific versions: Attack Ka-29. The monocular eyepiece of the anti-tank missiles sight replaces the radar display. Note also ASP-17VK gunsight above the pilot’s instrument panel.

Certificated Ka-27PVs, such as the one illustrated here have been given Ka-32A designations. It is a 320km zone surveillance helicopter and can carry additional fuel, unguided rockets or gun packs on four side outriggers. The Kh-35 anti-ship missiles displayed alongside the helicopter are indicative of the Ka-27PV’s potential, rather than its proven capability.

Ka-60 prototype 601 Red during an early test flight. The Ka-60 marked a departure from the traditional Kamov co-axial rotor configuration but was necessitated by the demand for low drag to achieve high speeds. The prototype flew with a four-bladed main rotor but production models will have a five-blade assembly.

Cockpits of the three basic Helix variants have almost identical instrumentation and controls for the pilot (left hand seat). The right hand stations are configured to suit specific versions: Early warning Ka-31. System operator has only a modest display because target data is transmitted directly to the command centre on the ship and is not processed on board the helicopter.

Note the retracted nose undercarriage on the Ka-25Ts which prevents interference with operation of the Uspekh-2A radar. The cylindrical antenna below the rear of the fuselage contains the Kobalt-2 missile guidance transmitter.

Twin fins are the main distinguishing feature of the Ka-10 when compared with the Ka-8. To facilitate emergency evacuation of the Ka-8 or Ka-10 in flight the seat back was designed to fold allowing the pilot to fall out backwards with his parachute. The Ka-10M is seen here landing on a truck platform in 1955.

Seen in the foreground, the Ka-18 was a four-seat civilian derivative of the Ka-15. Note the Ka-15 taking-off in the background.

Currently in production for Russia's Federal Border Guard Service and Army, the Ka-137 remotely-piloted surveillance helicopter is powered by a 65hp Hirth 2706R05 piston engine and has a time on station (50km from base) of 4 hours.
