Only a model of the original V-60 exists. The existing model shows four missiles as its sole armament. The project was abandoned in the 1980s and is often confused to be an early concept of the Ka-60 . The initial prototype and pre-series version of the Ka-60 carried another designation, V-62 .[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Variants / Kamov V-60; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Capacity: 6 passengers (cargo/passenger pod) / 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) slung load / 1,000 L (260 US gal; 220 imp gal) chemical hopper[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 7.775 m (25 ft 6 in)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 4.155 m (13 ft 8 in)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Empty weight: 1,915 kg (4,222 lb)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Max takeoff weight: 3,250 kg (7,165 lb)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 1 × Omsk TVO-100 turboshaft , 522 kW (700 hp)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Main rotor diameter: 2 × 13 m (42 ft 8 in)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Main rotor area: 265.5 m 2 (2,858 sq ft)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 180 km/h (110 mph, 97 kn)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Cruise speed: 160 km/h (99 mph, 86 kn)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range: 713 km (443 mi, 385 nmi)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Service ceiling: 3,850 m (12,630 ft)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rate of climb: 6.6 m/s (1,300 ft/min)[source]Kamov Ka-126 · Specifications (Ka-126); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
