Kamov Ka-27

The Kamov Ka-27 (NATO reporting name 'Helix') is a military helicopter developed for the Soviet Navy and currently in service in Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, South Korea, Portugal, China and India.

The helicopter was developed for ferrying and anti-submarine warfare. Design work began in 1970 and the first prototype flew in 1974. It was intended to replace the decade-old Kamov Ka-25 Hormone and is similar in appearance to its predecessor—due to the requirements of fitting in the same hangar space. Like other Kamov military helicopters it has a co-axial rotor, removing the need for a tail rotor.

Variants include the Ka-28 for export, the Ka-29 military transport (16 troops), the Ka-31 reconnaissance, and the civilian Ka-32 transport.
