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.........
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.

Additionally, the cutaway profile seems to depict a R-195 without an afterburner? The cutaway is to scale...
