Kamov Ka-118
Type: Light multi-purpose turbine powered helicopter.
Program: Decision to build Ka-118, utilizing jet thruster control system developed on Ka-26SS test bed, announced at Helicopter Association International convention Dallas, Texas on February 4, 1990.
Design features: Single main rotor, with swept blade tips, breaks with Kamov traditional use of coaxial contra-rotating rotors; jet thruster control system (similar to McDonnell Douglas NOTAR) eliminates need for tail rotor; highly streamlined, extensively glazed cabin; V tail with bridging tailplane; skid landing gear.
Structure: Four-blade rotor of composites construction.
Power plant: Not decided early 1992; alternatives include one 530 kW (710 shp) Omsk TV-O-100 turboshaft, or one or two engines of Allison, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Rolls-Royce, or Turbomeca design; standard fuel capacity 700 liters (185 US gallons; 154 Imp gallons).
Accommodation: Pilot and four passengers in cabin.
Equipment: As necessary for day/night normal/adverse weather operation, on such duties as passenger transport, air ambulance, freight carrying, search and rescue, patrol of forests, highways, electric power lines, gas and oil pipelines.
