4Kᵁᴴᴰ HA-MPT, Kamov Ka-26 - Visit in AEROPARK Budapest

[@Afrocanuk]

Both the Kamov Ka-26 & Ka-226 will look great over the skys of North Anerica.

[@jdlives8992]

I want one. Looks like a ton of fun to fly.

Super Helicopter ! The Engine Sound is also Super !

[@bendeleted9155]

What a perfect textbook approach and landing. All together now, do it just like that.

[@arthurmurigin]

Прекрасный подбор советской авиатехники. Ту-134, Ту-154, Як-40, Ми-2 - то, что успел рассмотреть на видео. Ещё промелькнул DC-3 или может это Ли-2.. Ну и конечно великолепный Ка-26! Мне нравится, в каком прекрасном состоянии представлены все лётные экземпляры! Спасибо!

Только не в России

[@gabornagy8212]

Ez is letagadhat 30 évet, mint a HSF. Nagyon szép gép!

[@shazam6274]

Great! Thank you.

[@MojoDevirus]

What a beauty !!!

[@jinxinjing4823]

This little thing is so CUTE！

[@johnbrown-rm8kc]

Awesome machine !!!

[@Ch1n4Sailor]

Such a cool helo... And can land or takeoff in any direction -- I.E. No Tail Rotor so not affected by wind direction!!! & NO Tail Rotor to FAIL!!!

Це гарный летак

Lots going on in Hungarian aviation i have missed gonna keep my eyes on it. Thanks

What is the purpose of the protrusion on the nose?

[@lucashinch]

I noticed that as well and wanted the same. I'll post the answer here shortly

[@texNoz]

Read the description mate... "Agricultural versions had pressurized cockpit, where the pressure was made by that "nose" on the front of the canopy, which is called separator. This thing pumped outside air through a carbon filter into the pilots cabin providing clean air."

I'm assuming there is no rpm governor, but does it have a correlator to pair the throttle to the collective, or is it all manual throttle control?

[@TomiAviation]

You are right sir, no governor is installed on this type. Idle RPM (approx. 50%) is controlled by two separate throttle lever between the seats, while both engines flight idle (approx. 80%) is controlled via a twist grip, installed on the collective. Throttle control rods are mechanically connected to the collective lever, RPM adjustments is made simultaneously with collective blade angle corrections during flight. In the mean time, pilot can manually adjust both RPMs by the twist grip, if it is necessary.

[@Funeral_Potatoes]

@@TomiAviation Very interesting! And if I can ask one more question, how does the clutch system work? I tried to follow along in your videos, but I couldn't make sense of the procedure. Does each engine have its own clutch? Do you engage them simultaneously or one at a time?

[@TomiAviation]

@@Funeral_Potatoes Clutch system is a hydromechanical device, consisting two separate part for each engines. Clutch handles are located on the forward part of the upper switchboard. (the two brown thing) Basically three modes (or position) existing, OFF, friciton and ON. Engines have to be started in OFF position to avoid sudden acceleration of the transmission system. You may see in the videos, that the blades are turning on startup, this is because the oil is cold and "thick" in the clutches. As the engines are stabilized in idle, the clutch levers can be moved forward to friction position simultaneously or one by one, depends on how the pilot wants. In the friction mode the blades will start to rotate faster or slower, this indicates the tightness of the clutches. (Tight clutch can cause engine choking, so it have to be handled carefully.) In the mean time, RPM of the engines and the rotors are monitored on the dual tachometers and when the RPM matches the levers can be moved full forward position, or I could say into ON. From here, the engine and rotor RPMs are stuck together, the only time they separates is when the pilot twists down the throttle and the engines decelerates faster than the rotor system.

@@TomiAviation Thank you so much for the detailed information! The Ka-26 has been my favorite helicopter for a long time, and its systems have been a fascinating mystery for me. It is awesome to find out how it works from someone who flies it. I'm a flight instructor in Robinson helicopters, but I would love to fly a Kamov if I ever get a chance!

[@zsolthorvath7290]

Hány ka 26 létezik

[@gabornagy8212]

Hát amivel még repülnek is az országban, tudtommal már kevesebb mint 10.
