DESIGN FEATURES

The helicopter has coaxial rotor design; it means that all aerodynamic forces, necessary for helicopter movement and control, are created by two main contra-rotating rotors placed on one axis. The turn of the helicopter in a horizontal plane is achieved by pitch change of upper and lower rotors that causes differential change of torques. The rotors are set on main drive shafts and are powered by two TV3-117VMA turboshaft engines. The engine air intakes have special screen protecting engine from birds, stones, branches and ice ingression. The TV3-117VMA engine is designed by KLIMOV plant and is mounted on Ka-27, Ka-29, Ka-32, Ka-50, Ka-52, Mi-24, Mi-8, Mi-8MT helicopters and other helicopters of Russian manufacture. Batch production of the mentioned engines is realized by the Zaporozhye-

based MOTOR-SICH JSC, the Ukraine. The engine is among the world’s best in its class with respect to fuel consumption efficiency and weight data. Well-organized manufacturing process provides the engine with high reliability and long service life.

The ability to lift and to transport underslung heavy loads of up to 5 tons places Ka-32 helicopter to a leading position in the world in terms of operational efficiency criteria among the rotorcraft of this weight category. Ka-32 successfully operates in Switzerland, Canada,

Middle East and South East countries performing the following missions:

• logging; • forest fire-fighting; • installation of power transmission lines; • installation of cable-way towers; • building of mountain cafes and hotels; • off-shore platforms support. The helicopters were also flown for carrying cargo and personnel of American companies during development of the continental shelf in Papua New Guinea. Ka-32A11BC helicopters operate as flying cranes for logging in hard-to-reach mountainous regions of Canada and Switzerland. In logging missions, being the most complex in terms of lifted loads and operating conditions, the helicopter has demonstrated superb operational functionality and has taken the leading place on the helicopter logging market.

16

Due to its coaxial rotor system guaranteeing piloting accuracy and precision the helicopter is capable to carry loads in narrow canyons

with minimum deviation from a specified point. For landing the helicopter requires a pad as small as 12 x 12 m.

External cargo sling is attached to a frame in transport cabin. Underslung load stabilization system excludes cargo swinging and

facilitates piloting task. The provisions are made in the cabin doorway to install a remotely-controlled 300-kg capacity winch on a

movable boom.

17

FIRE-FIGHTING HELICOPTER

This configuration of the helicopter can be used for fighting fires in hard-to-reach areas, in high-storied buildings, on enterprises and rural infrastructures serving simultaneously for transporting firemen and evacuating people from emergency constructions and buildings on fire, from ships and off-shore platforms. The unique qualities of coaxial rotors ensure high power-to-weight ratio of Ka-32 helicopter, its small dimensions and simplicity of piloting. Due to the absence of a tail rotor the helicopter is most safe during maneuvering in the vicinity of obstacles and is less sensitive to the wind force and direction. The helicopter performs any turns in a horizontal plane without changing flight altitude and additional engine power losses, which is particularly important in fighting fires in high air temperatures conditions when the powerplant excess power is unavailable. Two Ka-32 helicopters operated by fire-fighting service of the city of Moscow for 7 years have considerably increased the availability of Moscow fire brigades, saved the lives of hundreds of people and many industrial, city-owned and house stock objects. The availability of an open water basins in Moscow allows the helicopter to quickly react and effectively extinguish fire sources using a number of devices and systems which are simple and reliable in operation.

systems.

21

The helicopters with the above equipment are widely operated today. The helicopters with “Simplex” system are effectively operated in the Republic of Korea for forest fire-fighting. Two helicopters with «Bambi Bucket» system and water cannon are on duty with a fire-fighting service of the city of Moscow (Russia). During dry summer months Ka-32 helicopters are on a round-the-clock duty in the south European countries to protect forests and other objects from fire. The helicopter with

these fire-fighting

systems can operate in

built-up areas and for

fighting forest and oil-

and-gas pipeline fires,

as well as fires on off-

shore platforms.

POLICE HELICOPTER

Ka-32А2 is developed on basis of the certified Ka-32А helicopter.

The helicopter primary role is to provide air mobility of law enforcement and special groups

to counteract criminals and terrorists:

• search and detection of criminal groups (objects); • landing of a detaining group in a specified area; • suppression of delinquent resistance using helicopter weapons;

• post deployment. The helicopter is additionally equipped with special communication systems, floodlights, loudspeaking device, seats for accommodating 12 soldiers in the cabin and special devices for simultaneous landing of 5 soldiers when the helicopter is hovering. Helicopter protection against ground fire is also provided.

The helicopter can be used for search and elimination of criminal groups, transportation of special armed

units, landing of law enforcement groups , cargo transportation inside the helicopter and on external sling.

The helicopter can efficiently operate for detecting and counteracting unlawful armed formations in the

cross country and in the mountains, for carrying light artillery guns, for setting up and supporting weapon

emplacements and posts at the predominant eminences.

23

The helicopter is equipped with powerful floodlights, lowering devices for landing soldiers in hovering through doorways along both fuselage sides, pintles for machine guns or additional gunner seat. For increased combat survivability the cockpit is armor-protected and self-sealing fuel tanks are installed. In case of necessity Ka-32А2 can be used as a fire-fighting helicopter with underslung water or other extinguisher tank or as a rescue helicopter for prompt evacuation of people from hard-to-reach areas after man-caused and natural disasters. The helicopter efficiently operates in the city of Moscow for law enforcement missions, monitoring of the situation during mass meetings, festivals, sporting events, etc.

Ka-32 OPERATION AT SEA Ka-32 - a derivative of the Ka-27 ship-borne helicopter has inherited from its predecessor the ability to operate in different climatic

zones, in aggressive sea environment, tropical heat and arctic frosts.

Ka-32 helicopter, featuring high flight performance and modern avionics suite, is very effective in performing various missions in

daytime and at night, in any time of the year, in simple and adverse weather, in zero visibility conditions, at sea state of up to 4-5 and

100% humidity. Anticorrosion protection of the fuselage, engines and equipment complies with the most stringent standards and allows

to operate the helicopter at sea.

Up-to-date flight-navigation integrated system automatically

brings the helicopter to a remote spot in the ocean. Flight integrated

system ensures automatic hovering, stabilization of the preset and

flight speed. Using the main tanks fuel the helicopter is capably of

continuous flight at a range of 700 km. Flight endurance with

standard fuel (without reserve) is – 4-5 hrs.

The helicopter can land on a 12 х 12 m pad including on a ship

deck at 5-6 state of sea scale.

25

Removable ballonets are used to perform overwater flights, emergency ditching and people evacuation. Before ditching, the ballonets are inflated with air (no more than for 4 sec). Ballonet volume – 4,5 m3. .

26

The helicopter with rotor blades de-icing system was designed to fly at low temperatures in the mountains and in the Arctic Ocean. In rigorous Arctic environment the helicopter is used for ice patrol and ships unloading. In fact the helicopter was the only way of transporting cargoes for the Arctic expeditions and for small settlements in the North of Russia. During the years of active North exploration a unique technology was developed in the Soviet Union – to unload the ships on the move along the North sea route with the help of Ka-32 helicopters.

The unique helicopter performance make it indispensable for a number of missions:

27

• • • • • • •

on oil rigs during exploration of the north continental shelf; to unload the ships at roadstead and on the move; for cargo handling in the ports; for emergency evacuation of people from the ships and off-shore platforms; for medical evacuation, medical assistance, transportation of the injured to coast, rotation of ship crews; for search and rescue; to eliminate the aftermath of man-caused environmental and natural disasters and to counteract terrorists.

Usually such missions involve a high degree of risk and require not just the crew and rescuer proficiency but mainly the reliability of the helicopter. Tested by time and severe climatic conditions, working day and night in hard and even extreme conditions the helicopter proved itself to be a tireless plodder, a reliable and faithful friend.
