Ka-27 Helix



Origin (Real World):
Soviet Union/Russian Federation

Games Featured In:
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

Operators:
New Russian Federation

Overview:
Ka-27, Kamov 'Helix-A is an improved version of the Ka-25. The fuselage was redesigned to give a large increase in cabin room, with only a small increasse in external dimensions. This allows the Ka-27 to operate from the same ships as the Ka-25. As the 1960s drew to a close, the need arose for a new shipboard anti-submarine warfare helicopter to replace the Soviet Navy's main ASW chopper, the Kamov Ka-25 which was becoming obsolescent. The objective was to greatly increase the payload, internal volume and engine power while still allowing the helicopter to use the same deck helipads and shipboard hangars.

The Ka-27 helicopter is intended to be used for search-rescue provision of aircraft flights over the sea and the land, and also for provision of emergency-rescue operations at the disasters of ships and vessels, at day and night time, in simple and complicated weather conditions at the sea roughness up to 5 number, alone and in combination with ships. To carry out rescue operations, the helicopter is equipped with the winch with lifting capacity 300 kg.
