The Kaman K-700 was a proposed rescue helicopter built by Kaman. It was designed in 1969 for the United States Air Force. It employed the use of two PT6A turboshafts, a streamlined fuselage, and a large tail fin. However, it never progressed past the design stage.[1][2]
Design and development
The aircraft was designed to hold a maximum of 14 passengers. It had a stretched fuselage of approximately 12.5 m. In addition, the K-700 was to have a bullet-resistant windshield, self-sealing fuel tanks, provisions for auxiliary tanks, and an array of armament comparable to some contemporary gunships.
The USAF declined to purchase the K-700 even after Kaman's promise to deliver it in under 20 months.[3]
