Zhukovsky , Moscow. 20 July 2021. The shining blue of the latest variant of Ka-226 of Russian Helicopters attracted good attention at MAKS. The Ka-226T Climber helicopter prototype is due to conduct a series of test flights this autumn.
The Ka-226T Climber is ideal for flying in mountainous areas. Its coaxial rotors allow for easy control even at the highest altitudes with rarefied air. It boasts high resistance to strong side winds, and high rate of climb, as well as easy take-off and landing at high-altitude sites.
The Ka-226T Climber also performs well in flights over water, and can take off and land on the deck of even a small seagoing vessel. With low vibration levels, the Ka-226T Climber is a light helicopter which is easy to control. Capable of taking off from, and landing on, small areas (for instance, in a city), it offers highly stable hovering even during operation with external loads, and can be safely boarded while the rotors are turning.
