A visitor from Russian Federation posted Thu September 3, 2009: This craft wasn't designed as ekranoplane - it was intended to be a VTOL craft. Presence of a strong ground effect on this plane was discovered during test flights - it was a really hard task to make this bird touch the strip! The soviet ekranoplanes (eng. "GEM" - ground effect machine) were all designed and built at the "Volga" experimental shipyards (Yes, they were considered as a ships!) by Rostislav Alexeev.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat July 11, 2009: Very well interesting plane
A visitor from Portugal posted Mon November 20, 2006: You should correct your remark to Anti-submarine Spaceship look alike. :)
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat November 12, 2005: These Ekrano-planes, either you love them or you hate them. I love them! Only airframe left, must be fantastic to see in real life! Great picture!
