Kamov Ka-20 “Harp”
(USSR)
Notes: This light naval helicopter first appeared at the 1961 Tushino air show. It was assumed by the west to be a production model entering service and assigned a NATO reporting name. However the Soviet navy was unhappy with it’s range and payload and asked the Kamov bureau to re-work the design, the result being the Ka-25 “Hormone”.
