The KH-27 is an Imperial helicopter developed for the Imperial Navy and currently in service with various countries including Huvakia. The helicopter was developed for ferrying and anti-submarine warfare. Design work began in 1969 and the first prototype flew in 1973. The KH-27 is unique in the aviation community due to its coaxial rotors. Due to the lack of a tailrotor the KH-27 has a reducded footprint aboard the various ships of the Imperial Navy.
