A coaxial-rotor aircraft is an aircraft whose rotors are mounted one above the other on concentric shafts, with the same axis of rotation, but turning in opposite directions (contra-rotating).

This rotor configuration is a feature of helicopters produced by the Russian Kamov helicopter design bureau.
