Kamov Ka-27 Helix Military Helicopter

The Russian Kamov Ka-27 (NATO reporting name 'Helix') was designed by the Kamov Design Bureau as an anti-submarine (ASW) and ferry trandsport Helicopter for the Soviet Navy in the early 1970's, the production aircraft entered service with the Soviet Navy  in 1975. The most unusual feature of the Ka-27 Helix Helicopter is it's twin co-axial counter rotating rotor, resulting in no need for a conventional tail rotor although this is at the cost in slightly reduced efficiency of the rotors which both disrupt the airflow of the other.
