A friend found a M-27 in "Grazhdanskaya aviatsiya" 10/1991 (article "Samolyoty s markoy >M<" by V. Lamzutov), but no confirmation in any other source. The author described the M-27 as turboprop transport project from 1952 (probably a competitor to Antonov An-8 and Tupolev "101" - ?).

Thanks boxkite,

I will mention the anther series to this company ,which was started with M-2.

Hi,

Myasishchev M-80;

By the way,

the M-80 is VTOL aircraft project.

Hi,

The Myasishchev CMC VTOL transport aircraft project ,with big rotor for lift
and Titan.

Hi,

The Myasishchev M-12 and its variants.

Click to expand...

It's UK AVPRO company fantasies. No any connection to real Myasishchev OKB projects.

Hi flateric,

the CMC was related to Myasishchev,and not a fantasy aircraft,and I translated
it wrong it was SMS,see also;
http://www.vtol.boom.ru/rus/SMS/index.html

Hesham, may I, citizen of Russian Federation and a guy who have numorous connections inside the russian aerospace industry, say again that this is fantasy illustration of fictious what-if created by British concept company called AVPRO (AVPROs Titan X-wing concept goes next on the same page as mythical 'CMC'), published in David Olier, Mike Ryan's book 'Secret Planes And Secret Missions' (c) 2000 illustrated by AVPRO artists.

Dear Hesham and Flateric!
VM means Vladimir Myasishchev, there is exist his personal album with VM-0 to VM-24 list of those aircrft. F.e. VM-24 means RB-17. I have this album in original and can provide copy.
Thera are also exist so called "statcards" from VM-25 (M-4 bomber) till M-70 (flying boat).

When EMZ was organized they also used twin names, f.e. M-12 VTOL aircraft.
Last "M" is M-91 - tourist space shuttle.

And some words about M-12 VTOL. As far as I remember I have in my archieve about 30 variants of that plane.

M-40 till M-49 were missile, you may find info in 4th volume of "Illustrated Encyclopedia of MDB" by Avico Press
Regards

Dear Ucon - I still wonder if there's any proof of existing this particular stowable-rotor iteration of M-12. It's so unusual that it could not miss the pages of EMZ Encyclopaedia - while there's no mention of it there. Why?

Dear Flateric!
Next time when you visit me I"ll give you folder from my archieve with original sources of M-12.
We had very shot time to prepare and print 7th volume before MAKS-99, that"s why more than 120 aircraft were missed.
It seems it is time to prepare the 4th edition)))
Regards

Thanks for that, and surely everybody needs fourth print =)

2 The list of state designations for the aircraft in series production

M-2: not defined (some speculations, all wrong)
M-4: state designation of M-25
M-6: state designation of 3M (M-36), (practically not used)

note:

All Military aircraft of the Soviet Union between 1940 and 1990 have been received state designations when they were in-troduced in series production and officially in the Soviet Air Force.

The nomenclature of state designation has been defined by an order of NKAP (State commissariat for aviation industry) from 09 December 1940.

Each state designation of a soviet aircraft consisted of two Cyrillic letters and a number.

The two letters were the first and second letter of the last name of the chief designer (from 1956 of the “General designer”, i. e. the head of the OKB).

The following number was
- odd only for fighter aircraft
- even for all other class of aircraft.

Myasishchev injured this nomenclature has from the beginning. Instead of the prescribed sequence of two Cyrillic letters Mya he used only M.

It seems the EMZ list is missing at least M-22 and M-91 (as to Avico Press site). Perhaps ucon could tell us if the EMZ list should be continous up to M-91, or are there gaps in actual project designations?

Hi to all!
The list by Mechan will be corrected and there will be many missed numbers -
f.e. M-34 - high altitude recon, base for M-17,
M-85 - russian equivalent of "Global Hawk"
M-202, M-302 - passenger project (see detailed info in www.avicopress.ru)
M-300 - "Gzhel" military variant etc. etc.

Hope to finish with M-50 variants this year)))) and then will be full list of Myasishchev.
Any questions - contact directly.
Regards

Dear K. G.

It is clear that you know projects of EMZ about until now nothing has been published. I meant this with the parenthesis “(of current knowledge)”. But only a mention of these projects not amend the list. Would be nice if you wrote a supplementary list, according to the scheme:

Type, project, specification, engines, year of begin

Otherwise, we unfortunately need to wait until something about the projects on your site (avicopress) appears.

Sincerely

H. B. ("mechan")

After working for several days on end on a Myasishchev design chronology, I realized that this forum had this interesting thread! Obviously it enabled me to fill a few blanks, but my initial research brought up a few finds and questions as follows, which I hope our Russian aviation specialists on this forum will help me answer:

1°) Some sources mention Pe-2A, Pe-4, Pe-4A and Pe-8 as planned derivatives of the DVB-102 bomber. Are these other names for already listed designs, or separate projects?

2°) The heavy strategic bomber project that received the state designations 1M / M-2 does not appear in the above listings.

3°) The M-32 delta wing bomber was once described as the "Zazvukovoy bomber". Does that word mean anything in Russian at all, or is it a mistranscription?

4°) One source states that the Myasishchev Type 37 was the 201M prototype. This makes some sense since this was the second Bison prototype, and the first was M-36, from which the whole M-4 series derived. But I'd need some more proof... And if the 201M got its own model designation, what about the 103M?

5°) The 4M prototype of the Bison (on which the nose gun was removed, NR-23 cannons were replaced with AM-23, and the PM-3A engines were replaced by the RD-3M and then the RD-3M-500) is not listed either. Could this have been M-38? Just a thought...

6°) I have found mention of two distinct M-61 projects but could only document one, which was a supersonic air-launched air-to-ground cruise missile. Does anyone know about the "other" M-61, if any?

7°) The first list ends with M-70, and yet mention was made earlier in the thread of an M-71 supersonic bomber project. Was that a mistake?

8°) VM-26 or M-26 seems to have refered to two distinct transport projects. However I have also found mention of a long-range fast bomber project with the same number. A mistake?

9°) M-33 is said to be a development of the Yak-1000, yet I also have it as a tailless bomber project...

10°) M-58 is given as a tailless supersonic bomber, but I also found it as a spacecraft project. Could this be from the second "EMZ" series?

11°) Mention is made of two planned M-17 derivatives, the M-17P (M-65) and M-17PV (M-61). Yet I have an article in Russian that details two loosely related derivatives designated M-17RP and M-17RP2 but can't find them in the EMZ list.

12°) Undocumented projects known to have existed are the M-49 spacecraft (first series), the M-22 (second series), M-104, M-113, M-204, M-206, M-301, the Irtysh and Nadezhda, and the Spasatel crane aircraft.

13°) Projects for which I can find no designations are the Cyclops and Triplane aircraft that preceded the M-101, the Sirius and Breeze business transport aircraft, and the Cosmospolis XXI (C-21)/Explorer spacecraft.

14°) An "A-209", supposed to be a "light multi-purpose aircraft" appears to be a dubious designation...

15°) Where does the "25F" high-altitude photo-reconnaissance project fit in??

16°) Why don't the DVB-402 and LK-1 bomber projects appear?

17°) A large six-engine shuttle carrier aircraft program designated AKC-1/AKC-2 is not listed.

18°) The BOR-5/BTC "Cosmos" space shuttle design (pre-"Buran") is not listed.

19°) Has any picture of the M-103 "Skif" bomber ever surfaced?



Finally, here is a list of all the Miasishchev/Molniya 3-digit designations:

M-101T Гжель (Gzhel) Small multipurpose transport derived from the Триплан (Triplane) and M-70 projects.
М-101Т SKh Project of agricultural derivative М-101Т.

By the way,

the last post in this topic from My dear Stargazer was
very interesting.

Anther little known designations;

Subject 61 was M-17PV fighter.
Subject 65 was M-17P fighter.
Subject 34 well known fighter,also called M-3.

"well-known fighter"?? Can you develop? Don't think I know what you're talking about...

I think Hesham's referring to the Myasishchev '34', also known as the 'Chaika', which led to the Myasishchev m-17-M-55 series,
and was of course a 'fighter' in that it was armed in order to shoot down the CIA spy balloons......


cheers,
Robin.

Oh, *that* "fighter"... But this can't be #34 in the EMZ series since it's a chronological sequence and the Chaika clearly came before the Stratosfera. To me, this was just the first M-17, nothing more.

No, it wasn't 'M-34', just '34', or 'subject 34'. Because the aircraft and the mission were super-secret, it was known only by a code name.
AIUI, the aircraft was never completed in the 'fighter' form, as the mission was changed to reconnaissance, the aircraft then becoming the M-17.


cheers,
Robin.

• Some Myasishchev mysteries some of you might be able to solve.
  
  I'm looking for inhouse "VM-" and "M-" project designations and pictures (however small) of the following (some might be Molniya, not Myasishchev, but it's sometimes hard to differentiate them).
  
  
  

Older projects:

• Pe-2A design for Petlyakov.
• Pe-4/Pe-4A design for Petlyakov.
• Pe-8 design for Petlyakov.
• DVB-402 Long-range bomber project.
• LK-1 six-engine development of DVB-402 project.
• M-2 (1M) heavy strategic bomber project with swept high-wing, swept tail and bicycle chassis.
• BTC/BOR-5 Космос (Space) suborbital test of 1/8 scale model of Buran.

More recent projects:

• Сириус (Sirius) wide-body regional aircraft project.
• ЯМАЛ-6 (Yamal-6) amphibian project derived from the M-72.
• Циклоп (Cyclops) project, preceded the Molniya-1 aircraft.
• Триплан (Triplane) project with V-shaped tail and a forward horizontal empennage, preceded the M-101T.
• Спасатель (Rescuer) project of auto-crane with 150-meter boom equipped with the multipurpose working unit.
• Иртыш (Irtysh) general aviation project, no detail.
• Надежда (Hope) general aviation project, no detail.
• Ганимед (Ganymede) safe landing container.
• Горгона (Gorgon) 2006 sea landing container project.

And for these, only the designation if someone has it:

• Орел (Eagle) 1970s experimental UAV project with full-scale mock-up built (NOT the M-62).

• M-17RP
• M-17RP2
• Бриз (Breeze) projected VIP staff transport.
• АКС-ВМТ (AKS-VMT) aerospace system.

Finally, a dubious designation that needs confirmation:

A-209 light multi-purpose aircraft project.


Thanks for any help, however small!

10°) M-58 is given as a tailless supersonic bomber, but I also found it as a spacecraft project. Could this be from the second "EMZ" series?

Hi Stargazer,

It seems the M-58 was both!
