Have coaxial rotor like Ka32 but smaller radius like 12 to 14 m,
all western avionics and left&right front slide doors with hoist.

Central opening for sling and back ramp, 4 axis auto pilot
is must, and at last 2500 h of resources on turbines and MGB.
MTOW of 8 to 12 T, almost full standing high floor, near both hoist doors.
Flight to service ratio must be not worse than 1 : 1,5 h,
Emergency flotations will sustain impact of CFIT on 100 kt
tnx to new kind of quick expansion foams instead of gas.
