Influenced by Fairey's Rotodyne, the part-autogyro, part-helicopter was only seen once by western observers during the Cold War during an Aviation Day display in Moscow on July 9, 1961. The Ka-22 utilized the fuselage from the Antonov An-10 which would have given the Ka-22 a theoretical capacity of 80 to 100 people or, with the rear loading ramp, could have been used to transport vehicles or freight. Because of Cold War secrecy, very little was known about the testing program of the Ka-22, but following two crashes of unknown causes, development was cancelled on the program in 1964.
