Operational Context
Kamov Ka-62 — twin-engine civil utility helicopter
The Ka-62 traces its origins to the Ka-60 but was reoriented toward commercial applications in the 2000s. The prototype first flew in 2016 following a prolonged development period. The design incorporates composite materials and modern avionics to meet international certification standards.
Powered by two Safran Ardiden 3G turboshaft engines producing roughly 1,700 shaft horsepower each, the Ka-62 cruises at approximately 155 knots (285 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is around 15,400 pounds (7,000 kg). The helicopter typically carries up to 15 passengers depending on configuration.
The aircraft is intended for offshore energy transport, corporate travel, and search and rescue roles. Its conventional rotor layout distinguishes it from earlier Kamov designs. The Ka-62 reflects ongoing modernization within Russia’s civil helicopter sector.
