helicopter's structural weight.
 The four-bladed composite main rotors have swept back tips and a 13.5m
diameter.
 The Ka-60 Kasatka has an infrared absorbent coating and a low infrared
exhaust in order to reduce the thermal signature.
 A radar absorbent coating has been used to provide a low radar cross
section.

systems being installed on opposite sides of the fuselage.

The pilot and co-pilot/gunner sit side by
side with the pilot on the starboard side.
