The Ka-226 light multipurpose helicopter designed to carry out emergency missions in urban areas and congested, and is able to take off and land on small lots, raw. The dimensions of the helicopter are minimal and has no tail rotor, which excludes damage from obstacles and is safer for ground personnel. For the effectiveness of the helicopter is optimized to carry out a wide range of aviation works in different natural environmental conditions. The machine may be involved in the rescue, firefighting, police, or road, oil pipeline or power line operations patrol. Ka-226 is suitable for the operational management of large cities and large agricultural complexes.
The Ka-226 design is based on the Ka-26 since he inherited the overall dimensions, the general provision, some of the structural members in the fuselage and some onboard systems. The most important differences from the design of 30 years of age, are limited to the power plant (two Rolls-Royce turboshaft Allison 250-C20R-engine, 450 horsepower each replaced two outdated piston engines) and avionics. Ka-226 propulsion consists of two engines, which increases the safety of the machine, which is important during flights over the city and difficult terrain. If an engine fails, the helicopter is still able to continue its flight, and even to gain height.
