KAMOV Ka-32 (HB-XKA)

Would love to see a Kamov in flight...that's for sure.

Beautiful pic

Now there's something we don't see every day.

I’ll bet rotor maintenance is a nightmare!

Wow! That's some aerodynamic configuration! I wonder what the Wright Brothers would have thought at first sight?

I want to learn how main rotor movement..

HeliSwiss does great job with that..

A bumblebee can't fly. . .

Just because you have not seen it does not mean it's not a viable design. Kamov has been building co-axial counter-rotating rotors for many decades. True it has a lot of moving parts, but it has NO tail rotor. Tail rotors fail more often than main rotors. I would fly in one any day. Although if I had to maintain a chopper again, and I had the choice I would choose a Kaman (egg-beater layout) over the Kamov (co-axial counter-rotating).
