Den Kamov Ka-26 är en lätt nyttohelikopter designad och tillverkad av det sovjetiska företaget Kamov. Det flögs första gången 1965 och togs i tjänst 1969. Ka-26 har ett distinkt koaxialrotorsystem, vilket eliminerar behovet av en stjärtrotor och ökar helikopterns manövrerbarhet och stabilitet. Ka-26 kan ta upp till sex passagerare eller olika typer av last i en avtagbar kapsel under flygkroppen.
Den Ka-26 is powered by two Vedeneyev M-14V-26 radial engines mounted on either side of the cockpit. The Ka-26 has been used for various purposes, such as agricultural spraying, firefighting, medical evacuation, police patrol, and aerial photography. The Ka-26 has been exported to several countries, including Bulgaria, China, Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Vietnam. The Ka-26 is still in service in some countries, but it has been largely replaced by newer models such as the Ka-226 and the Ka-32.
