The Kamov Ka-60 Kasatka (Russian: "Касатка", ("Killer Whale") is a Russian medium twin-turbine military transport helicopter under development by Kamov. It performed its first flight on 24 December 1998. The civil version is known as Kamov Ka-62.
The Ka-60 has an estimated local military market of 200 units (Army aviation units, Border Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs).[citation needed] The Ka-60 is to be used for aerial reconnaissance, for transporting air-assault forces, radio-electronic jamming, for special-operations missions and for various light-transport missions. Variations for foreign sale are expected. Manufacture is to take place at Ulan-Ude. The civil version, the 6.8 t (15,000 lb) Ka-62, can carry up to 15 passengers or 2–2.5 t (4,400–5,500 lb) of cargo (internally or externally), has a top speed of 167 kn (310 km/h) and a range of 380 nmi (700 km).[4] It features a five-blade main rotor and shrouded tail rotor, and is powered by a pair of Safran Ardiden 3Gs, and later by in-development Klimov VK-1600s.[4] It has a 30-minute run-dry gearbox by Zoerkler, and can operate on one engine up to 9,500 ft (2,900m)
