Operational Context
Kamov Ka-32A — twin-engine utility helicopter
The Ka-32 first flew in 1973, with civil variants entering service in the 1980s. It employs coaxial counter-rotating rotors for stability and lift efficiency. The design eliminates the need for a tail rotor.
Two turboshaft engines producing approximately 2,200 shaft horsepower each power the helicopter. Cruise speed approaches 140 knots (259 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight exceeds 26,000 pounds (11,793 kg).
The Ka-32A has been used in firefighting, construction, and rescue missions worldwide. Its lifting capability and compact footprint are key advantages. The aircraft remains in production in modernized forms.
