Rotorfly R-30 - Russian tandem-seat coaxial helicopter manufactured by Rotorfly LLC, city of Kumertau Rotor Fly LLC. .
The initial designer at Kumertau Rotor Fly LLC. was Victor Hribkov, the first flight was conducted 2005 and the, the aircraft was presented MAKS 2005 and was offered as a kit to build, [1] as a result of stagnation in the sale the production was passed over to Kamov in 2008 which produced on custom order. [2] [3] The Rotorfly R-30 helicopter was presented at the Hydroaviasalon 2010 exhibitions, International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2011 from August 16 to 21. [4] [5] The production suspended that Rotor Fly LCC was acquired by a Chinese company.
The Rotorfly R-30 helicopter is a coaxial helicopter with two two-blade fiberglass rotors. The control rods of the upper main rotor are located inside the shaft which reduces turbulence, It has been described as a hingeless teetering blade mount. [2] The aircraft claimed to be very quiet in general. [5]
The aircraft has skid-type landing gear with removable wheels, [4] a glass fiber soundproof cabin with an aluminium tube frame inside taken from Ptenets-2 making a tail and boom structure. [3]
The Cobra 500 parachute rescue system is located under the tail boom behinder the engine, if activated the helicopter will tilt forward which will the helicopter on impact but save the crew [5]
Both seats are located side by side and have traditional and digital flight controls although the left seat is closer to the instruments dashboard. [5]
Improved cockpit [6]
An unmanned version for military and civilian reconnaissance is being developed, the absence of the pilot will also increase the payload. [8]
General characteristics
Performance
The Kamov Ka-50 "Black Shark", NATO reporting name Hokum A, is a Soviet/Russian single-seat attack helicopter with the distinctive coaxial rotor system of the Kamov design bureau. It was designed in the 1980s and adopted for service in the Russian army in 1995. The Ka-50 is manufactured by the Progress company in Arsenyev. It is used as a heavily armed scout helicopter and has a rescue ejection system, rare for helicopters.
The Kamov Ka-25 is a naval helicopter, developed for the Soviet Navy in the USSR from 1958.
A tiltrotor is an aircraft that generates lift and propulsion by way of one or more powered rotors mounted on rotating shafts or nacelles usually at the ends of a fixed wing. Almost all tiltrotors use a transverse rotor design, with a few exceptions that use other multirotor layouts.
The Kamov Ka-27 is a military helicopter developed for the Soviet Navy, and as of 2024 is in service in various countries including Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, China, South Korea, and India. Variants include the Ka-29 assault transport, the Ka-28 downgraded export version, and the Ka-32 for civilian use.

The Kamov Ka-15 was a Soviet two-seat utility helicopter with coaxial rotors, which first flew on 14 April 1952 at the hands of test pilot D. K. Yefremov. It was the world's first mass-produced coaxial helicopter. State acceptance trials were completed in 1955, and the helicopter entered production the following year at aircraft factory No. 99 in Ulan-Ude. It was a precursor to the Ka-18 and was fitted with the M-14 engine. It was primarily used for bush patrol, agricultural purposes and fishery control.
The Kamov Ka-18 was a Soviet four-seat utility helicopter that first flew in 1955. It was a development of the Kamov Ka-15, with a lengthened fuselage and a more powerful engine - the 190 kW (255 hp) Ivchenko AI-14V radial. Total production from Kamov was about 120.
The Kamov Ka-8 "Иркутянин",, was a small, single-seat Soviet helicopter that first flew in 1947. It was a precursor of the Ka-10. The Ka-8 was powered by a 27 hp M-76 engine, boosted to 45 hp by using alcohol for fuel. It was derived from a previous Kamov design, the KA-17.
The Kamov Ka-10 was a Soviet single-seat observation helicopter that first flew in 1949.
The Kamov Ka-226 is a small, twin-engine Russian utility helicopter. The Ka-226 features an interchangeable mission pod, rather than a conventional cabin, allowing the use of various accommodation or equipment configurations. The Ka-226 entered service in 2002.
The Kamov Ka-60 Kasatka (Russian: "Касатка", is a Russian medium twin-turbine military transport helicopter under development by Kamov. It performed its first flight on 24 December 1998.
The Bensen B-8 is a small, single-seat autogyro developed in the United States in the 1950s. Although the original manufacturer stopped production in 1987, plans for homebuilders are still available as of 2019. Its design was a refinement of the Bensen B-7, and like that aircraft, the B-8 was initially built as an unpowered rotor-kite. It first flew in this form in 1955, and on 6 December a powered version, designated B-8M first flew. The design proved to be extremely popular and long-lasting, with thousands of sets of plans sold over the next thirty years.
A coaxial-rotor aircraft is an aircraft whose rotors are mounted one above the other on concentric shafts, with the same axis of rotation, but turning in opposite directions (contra-rotating).
The Sikorsky X2 is an experimental high-speed compound helicopter with coaxial rotors, developed by Sikorsky Aircraft, that made its first flight in 2008 and was officially retired in 2011.
The Kamov Ka-126 is a Soviet light utility helicopter with co-axial rotors. Evolved from Ka-26 with engine pods removed from stub wings, fitted with one TVO-100 turboshaft engine positioned on top of fuselage, modified rotor blades, new fuel system.
