Operational Context

Kamov Ka-115 — light coaxial-rotor utility helicopter

The Ka-115 first flew in 2003 as a modern light helicopter for civilian markets. It employs Kamov’s signature coaxial rotor arrangement, eliminating the need for a tail rotor. The design aims to provide stability and compact dimensions for urban operations.

Powered by a single turboshaft engine producing approximately 700 shaft horsepower depending on configuration, the Ka-115 cruises at around 130 knots (240 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is roughly 3,600 pounds (1,630 kg). The cabin accommodates up to six occupants.

The Ka-115 has seen limited production and market penetration. Its coaxial system offers maneuverability advantages in confined spaces. The aircraft represents Kamov’s effort to expand into light civil helicopter markets.
