Remark Photographer
CCCP-19172 Yes, that's an aircraft. Anti-submarine ground-effect hydroplane designed in 1972. This monster looks horrible even with wings and without - like now - it is total 'nightmare'. But it is rather interesting and cognitive. And good confirmation of true phrase - ugly airplanes don't fly.

Amazing UFO ! The ground effect products very strange things..

What you see here is only the airplane main body, the engines, wings and tail are missing. This is one of three prototypes build to destroy the US Polaris missile submarines, The Bartini Project scheme start in 1959, first take-off 1972, Bartini project died in 1974.

I think beauty is in the eyes of beholder. This plane may look like a monster for some but also a serene beauty for others. The author should never underestimate anything ...

Okay... so that isn't the nicest looking plane- but the way you did the shot with the snow was great! I'd love to see it fly!! :)
