    It's a prototype of a WIG (wing in ground effect) amphibian plane, developed by Beriev

    Looks like a B-29 --- converted into a TANK! Which is actually a pretty scary thought...

    Looks like Burt Rutan's Space Ship One crossed with a domestic appliance. George Lucas' props department probably have this picture on the office wall.

    That's just the front section, the kite was actually HUGE! A sub hunting amphibian.

    The ussr couldn't just copy a grumman duck, they had to double it and mate it to their copy of a b-29.

    for all the thick nuts out there, the wings and engines have been removed from this airframe. 14m1p,VTOL amphibian. First flight was made in 1972. (Chief designer Robert L. Bartini)

    It's EKRANOPLAIN. It's USSR product. It was like flying ship. You should see "Caspian See Monster".

    What happened when the USSR finally decided to let function follow form.

  • you on 2011-Mar-19 15:04:17 you said

    thats (was) an aircraft on the side you can see the roots of a wing

  • Jay on 2011-Nov-15 12:49:47 Jay said

    It doesn't "fly" per say, it rides a high pressure zone trapped between the wing and the ground/water. check out the Caspian Sea Monster. Wing in Ground effect
