A visitor from Russian Federation posted Thu September 3, 2009: No, tis one was never intended to be an ekranoplan - it was intended as a VTOL. It has four engines - two of them were situated on its back.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed June 25, 2008: Have seen photos in a Red Star profile of ekranoplans of this thing in two separate configurations: with inflatable floats, and with solid floats. I think it had ten engines (some mounted vertically).
A visitor from Russian Federation posted Wed August 30, 2006: Unfortunately its wings are toren off.
A visitor from Canada posted Sat August 19, 2006: There are many photos of this whatever you want to call it but yours is the very best.
A visitor from Japan posted Fri August 4, 2006: Wow! do these have wings? or is it really like this??
A visitor from Dominican Republic posted Wed July 12, 2006: Can it fly?
A visitor from Denmark posted Mon June 5, 2006: How did they ever think about this thing could fly, or something?
A visitor from United States posted Sat May 27, 2006: That is sad
A visitor from United States posted Wed April 19, 2006: Good Picture! That thing looks like it should be in the Starwars movies.
A visitor from Mexico posted Fri March 10, 2006: Reminds me of those "Eagle" space ships in the T.V. series "Space 1999". ;) T.B.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat February 18, 2006: This plane is featured on Metal gear solid 3
A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue September 6, 2005: This 'airplane' was built for searching and destroying submarines in the time of the Cold War. Believe it or not,an Italian designer made it together with the Russians.
A visitor from United States posted Mon August 22, 2005: I really like pictures of unusual aircraft. The Russians have built some of my favorites, and this is one of the strangest I have seen yet. Could it be somehow related to their Ekranoplan?!?
