The development of the Ka-60 started in 1984 year, when OKB. Kamov outperformed their counterparts in the Mil company's competition to design a lightweight Army helicopter, intended for use on the battlefield together with heavier military Ka-50 machines or Mi-28. In 1990, full-scale mock-up was built, and in 1997, – helicopter prototype – Ka-60-1. Helicopter carrying capacity of 2m inside the fuselage and 3t – on the external sling is designed to fill a niche of the domestic helicopter fleet, which previously held the Mi-4 – One of the most popular and successful cars of the first generation, released “edition” 3850 copies.

Unlike other firms helicopters “Kamov” Ka-60 made by a single-screw circuit 11 to the steering-blade fan-fenestron. This choice is due to peculiarities of the intended use of the helicopter: if the Ka-27, Ka-26 and other coaxial machine a significant portion of the flight time in the hover, then the Ka-60 in this mode will have, estimated, no more 1%.
The design of the Ka-60 60% It is made of composite materials. The high thrust-weight ratio combined with excellent aerodynamics carefully spent helicopter provides excellent flight characteristics: maximum speed exceeds 300km / h, static ceiling reaches 2100m, practical – 5150m.
The construction of power units and helicopter systems gives it a high degree of reliability. In case of an emergency landing force airframe scheme allows crew and passengers to survive at high rate of descent. Maintainability and modern diagnostic methods preserve the high level of the Ka-60 combat readiness.
Turboprop engine RD-600V (on emergency mode power – 1550 HP, takeoff – 1300 hp) set of “Rybinsk motors”. Its development began in 1989 year on the tactical and technical requirements of the Ministry of Transport of the USSR.

The design of the RD-600V incorporates the latest achievements of aviation science. Calculations are made on the strength of the engine minor resource – 10 thousand. cycles. modularity, advanced control and diagnostic system, inside the effective field-protective device and the two-channel digital electronic automatic control system with a mechanical backup channel will operate the engine depending on its technical condition and perform minor repairs based on aerodromes. Specific fuel consumption at cruising speed – 225 g / hp. in time. Funding for the program creation RD-600B in accordance with the agreement, signed with the Ministry of Economy. However, insufficient allocation of funds forces “Rybinsk motors” to invest in the program and own funds.
The first experimental machine is equipped with four-bladed rotor, and in serial five-blade helicopters will be installed with the propeller noise-lowering wingtips. Is provided and a special noise reduction mechanism by optimizing the rotational speed of rotor. Measures have been taken to reduce the visibility of the helicopter in the heat, radar and optical. Ka-60 equipped with onboard EW complex. The most important machine systems are duplicated. The sponge is applied to fill the fuel tanks. control wiring can withstand ingress 12.7mm caliber bullets, and rotor blades withstand repeated defeat such ammunition.

Website https://sdelanounas.ru tells, how much this car is in demand in modern Russia. The Russian Ministry of Defense has ordered about a hundred promising multipurpose military transport helicopters Ka-60 "Kasatka", Aviation Week reported quoting Director General of the holding company "Russian Helicopters" Dmitry Petrov. Many of them have already been delivered to the troops.
A portal dokwar.ru discloses specifications “invisibility” “killer whales”. When designing, the designers put maximum effort and ingenuity., to make an invisible helicopter. Noise machines was reduced through the installation of the propeller silencing endings. Also developed and implemented a special mechanism, which regulates the rotational speed of rotor, which also affects the noise level. Measures have been taken to reduce the "Orcas" visibility in the radar, thermal and optical. For this purpose, the elements used stealth technology. for example, body covered with a special composition, radio absorbent air defense radar. For the same purpose, and adjusted the geometry of the machine. true, value of the effective scattering surface is not disclosed. As is the case with the F-22 and F-35, an ESR which goes a lot of contradictory rumors. To counter air defense complex has on-board electronic warfare.
