Russia’s futuristic Kamov Ka-62 medium multirole helicopter made its maiden flight earlier this week, PrimeMedia news agency reported. The helicopter is being developed by Kamov and manufactured by the Arsenyev-based Progress aircraft company (both companies are Russian Helicopters subsidiaries).

The development of the Ka-62 began in 1992. It was designed as a civilian model of a multipurpose military transport helicopter Ka-60.

Turbomeca's Ardiden 3G Turboshaft

The Ka-62 is fitted with two French-made Ardiden 3G 1,680 h.p. engines made by Turbomeca. Their modular design ensures high reliability, heightened ease of operation, and low fuel use. The helicopter is also equipped with a glass cockpit developed by the Russian company Transas.

The Ka-62 is built to a single-rotor design with a multi-blade anti-torque rotor ducted into the vertical tail fin. It has a five-bladed main rotor, enclosed tail rotor, secondary hydraulics circuit, heavy-duty wheeled landing gear, strengthened fuselage and mounting attachments for major components, as well as shock-absorbent seats for passengers and crew.

The airframe and propeller blades will be over 50% made of polymeric composite materials.

The Ka-62 is designed for cargo transportation, medevac and search and rescue operations, and can also be used in the oil and gas sector and for corporate purposes.

Russian Helicopters’ First Ka-62 Helicopter Prototype Takes Off
Russian Helicopters announced Monday the first maiden flight of the medium multirole Ka-62 helicopter.

The first prototype of the medium multirole Ka-62 helicopter took off at Progress Arsenyev Aviation Company (part of State Corporation Rostec) on April 28, the company announced. The lift in a hover mode was part of the factory flight testing and was completed successfully. The OP-1 Ka-62 was launched to evaluate its overall performance and to test its main power supply systems and avionics. The helicopter was operated by test pilots from the Kamov Design Bureau, which is the main developer of the Ka-62. Previously, the rotorcraft has successfully passed a series of tests in a ground-based racing mode. "This is a very significant event for the Russian Helicopters holding company and a due result of our work", - said the holding company's CEO Alexander Mikheev. - "The new Ka-62 will complement the civilian versions of the honoured and most produced helicopter in the world - Mi-8/17, and it will fill a high demand niche in the class of helicopters with a 6-7 ton take-off weight." The Ka-62 is designed for a wide range of tasks. Its main purposes include transporting passengers, rescue operations, and use in the oil and gas sector. With a spacious and comfortable cabin, this helicopter is ideal for corporate travel. The Ka-62's high power to weight ratio allows to operate it in a wide range of altitudes. The Ka-62 can be used in hot climates and [over] water.
