Merge to Ka-25?
The gist of this article should be moved to the Varaints block of the Ka-25 article as there was only one buiult and it was directly related to the Ka-25 as a demonstrator for the dynamic component layout.Petebutt (talk) 06:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I've put my money wqhere my mouth is and incorporated Ka-20 into the Ka-25 articlePetebutt (talk) 06:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Having looked at the Kamov Ka-20 article, there does seem to be room for expansion. I can't read Italian, so I don't know if the content is worth anything, and the text there is uncited. WP is WP:NOTPAPER, so we have a little more leeway in covering closely-related types on separate artcles. I'm going to post a note about this at WT:AIR to get some other perspectives, and might even add a Split tag here, if warranted. The real question is whether the Ka-20 was merely a minimum-change prototype of the Ka-25, or a wholly-separate airframe built (or possibly converted from something else) to test some Ka-25 components? As written, the latter seems to be the case here. - BilCat (talk) 07:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The Ka-20 was actually a prototype of the Ka-25 but only really for dynamic components as it didn't carry any mission equipment and wasn't capable of shipboard operations, and only resembled the Ka-25.Petebutt (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * here is a google translation of it:Kamov Ka-20

l 'Kamov Ka-20' (NATO code name "Harp '- harp) was a helicopter pilot Soviet conducted at the end of  fifties from ' Technical OKB 938 directed by Nikolai Kamov Il'ic.

Not much is known of the plan if not for his subsequent development of the series, the Ka-25.

The project stems from a specific request of the fifties issued by Voenno-Morskoje flot SSSR, the Navy dell 'Soviet Union, which provide a helicopter  anti submarine that could be used by coastal naval bases that can be loaded. L ' OKB 938 Kamov said the project of a compact helicopter rotors in coaxial counter, developed by the 1958, when he was officially commissioned, but only shown to the public in At the military parade of the 1961 as it was accustomed to turning 'Moscow airport-Tušino. At that time observers of the NATO gave him the initials presumably Ka-20 and codename Harp

The Ka-20 was characterized by a compact design and choice of two coaxial rotors counter tripala driven by a pair of turboalbero Glushenkov, a typical configuration of the production remained Kamov. The front was stocky, with a large cargo compartment behind the cockpit, presumably two-seater, as the next Ka-25, which went back into a strong beam tail ends in a horizontal plane Trider. In front, under the muzzle, was placed in a lump found in the area of electronic detection equipment, complemented by a similar more modest place in the beam tail. The landing gear, whose function was essentially to keep the Ka-20 in a horizontal position when it was grounded, was endowed before Quadricycle small wheels under the muzzle and after two more big put all ' superscript two side legs, supported by these towers linked to main building. During the military parade in Moscow-Tušino of 1961 were placed two large missiles, probably only of pretense, the sides of the front structure.


 * The Ka-20 was actually a prototype of the Ka-25 but only really for dynamic components as it didn't carry any mission equipment and wasn't capable of shipboard operations, and only resembled the Ka-25.
 * That's generally enough differences to warrant a separate article. - BilCat (talk) 23:24, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Dont see why it cant be a separate article as it was a prototype. See how the article develops if after a few years it hasnt improved then it can be looked at again. MilborneOne (talk) 17:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
