Back in the '90s, wasn't there supposed to be a Soviet flying wing stealth bomber from Tupolev, the Tu-202 or Tu-404 or something?

I've never heard heard of this project unitl just now. article: http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/hyperbola/2008/10/samara-space-centres-new-rus-r.html closeups of the pictures: http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/hyperbola/samara%202.JPG http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/hyperbola/samara%201.JPG

Hi to all. Today not well-known and unknown Myasishchev airships projects - 2DP - VS-80 - VS-90 Detailed info see in www.avicopress.ru and magazine "Our wings" Regards

Last month's DTI carried a blurb on the Mig-31 BM . the last line talked about the Mig-31 BM's ability to counter stealth cruise missiles and Hypersonics. In this context I propose to start a discussion as to how the Mig-31 BM may indeed accomplish the same.

Hi, in Sukhoi site I found that project-111,what is it and what is the name of the company ?. http://www.suchoj.com/galerie/index.htm?http://www.suchoj.com/ab1953/KR-860/galerie.shtml

Development of the "Ajax" and "Neva" hypersonic flight vehicles with MHD (Magneto-Hydrodynamic) propulsion was initiated at the Leninets design bureau in late 1980s. There were apparently several configurations, some for hypersonic atmospheric flight, some for space launch. I have found some...

If anyone interested, will post more pics. Angara 3 and Angara 5P (first and third from the left) are intended for launch of Krunichev's TKS-derived manned spacecraft

Should we call it Orionsky... From left to right - basic modification of TKS-based reusable manned spacecraft (ok, TKS on steroids) for Angara-A3 (Angara-5P) (six crew) - long-endurance (up to 30 days) modification of the first one with 3 crew - space station module More information at Vadim...

India will not cooperate with MIG on 20-tonn class fighter as Indian MIG supporter, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee, resigned last year, so India turns to export version of PAK-FA - according to pre-MAKS 2007 interview of MIG Deputy Director-General Sergey Tzivilev.

Hi, The Russian Federal Space Agency (FSA) is developing the Kliper,a reusable manned spacecraft.

The Soviets had a number of stilborn aircraft carrier projects from the 1930's all the way through to the 1990's. One of the most studied was Project-72 dating back to WW-II (1943) I think. Other projects include Project-69A, Project-85 and Project 1123 (Moskova concepts) before getting to the...

Before Sukhoi got the nod to build the Russian Regional Jet, I remember seeing a photo in Air International from somebody/something called Irkutsk that was offering a lifting-body short haul jet. Any body have any info?

Big surprise, anther mystery project to me,and I think most of the members don't know it, it was Biesnovat 6 ;an unmanned supersonic aircraft which fitted with U-400-10 engine,it was under construction in 1946.

Interesting. I seem to recall there was a proposed Russian cruise missile design that also used a propfan. The ol' memory is a bit fuzzy on the details, but I seem to recall some sort of mid-fuselage mounted prop.........

Dear Overscan, by the way the Ilyushin Il-74 and Il-27 were mentioned in english site, www.mda.org.uk/aircraft/9489.htm

There was/is a maritime patrol version of the Tupolev Tu-204-200 - the Tu-204P. I believe it may even have included provision for a Cannon-pod. It was to replace the IL-38 amongst others. Not sure if it is still an active project or whether it died for lack of funds. Regards, Greg

The 1968 decree authorised the development of 3 versions of the Ye-155M program, Ye-155MP interceptor, Ye-155MF frontal bomber and Ye-155MR reconnaissance. Ye-155MF frontal bomber...
