The Kamov Ka-26 shifted toward civilian utility roles, introducing a twin-engine configuration in a compact 7.8-meter airframe. Certified in 1965, this single-pilot helicopter achieved 170 km/h and could traverse 400 kilometers, making it well-suited for agricultural and industrial lifting tasks. Its modular pod-and-boom design allowed rapid reconfiguration for different payloads.
