| The
KA-32 helicopter is produced in two variants:
KA-32C -ship-based
variant
KA-32T- transport
variant.
The KA-32 helicopter
has been developed on the basis of the unique experience gained
in the process of creation and operational use of ship-bome helicopters,
and is capable to successfully operate in the conditions of the
Far North and tropical latitudes, day and night, in complicated
weather conditions.
The KA-32 helicopter
is equipped with the electrothermal anti-icing blade system, engine
air intake heating system and crew cabin glazing anti-icing system.
The blade folding mechanism allows to considerably diminish the
overall dimensions of the helicopter at its storage in the hangars
of ships and airdromes. The helicopter is equipped with the inflatable
ballonnets providing for floatability of the helicopter during its
emergency landing on the water surface.
The KA-32T transport
version is intended to transport loads inside the cargo compartment
and on external load sling system, to carry passengers in number
up to 16 persons, to conduct logging in the regions which are difficult
of access, to carry out sanitary flights, to fight fire in the large
tracts of forest, etc.
The KA-32C ship-based
version is additionally provided with the instrumental ice reconnaissance
equipment, radar, navigation complex allowing to make a flight in
automatically controlled mode, and also to carry out unloading of
ships without the stoppage of the latter.
The flight complex
of the helicopter ensures stabilization of the load on the external
load sling system what excludes swinging of the load and simplifies
piloting of the helicopter.
The KA-32 helicopter
is the leader in lifting capacity, power-to-weight ratio, range
and flight altitude in its own class.
Seven world
records have been established on the KA-32 helicopter.
