Ah, I love that one. Here's a set of imaginary color profiles found online a while ago, and also a cutaway from some unrecorded source:

Gosh! I didn't realize how much your books had been scanned and scattered all over the web... No wonder you put red copyright on your newer images... :

Beriev patents carrier-based AEW aircraft design
Beriev Aircraft Scientific Center has received a patent for the design of a V-tail jet-powered aircraft capable of taking off from ski-jump equipped carriers.
The role of the jet is primarily for airborne early warning and the radar antennas are embedded on four corners where the wing blends with the fuselage.

On first sight it reminds of the Boeing EX concept.

Hallo,

we know most of this company's aircraft ,such as:
MBR-2,MBR-4,MBR-7,MDR-5,MP-1,KOR-1,KOR-2,KOR-3,KOR-4,KOR-9,MS-4,MS-5,
MS-7,MS-8,IL-143,R-1,B-10,VVA14,14M1P,M-62,A-50,A-60,
Be-2,4,6,8,10,12,14,30,32,40,42,44,103,132,200,976 and 2500.

But there are anther aircraft and projects:-

C-13 high altitude reconnaissance aircarft.
Be-16 landing carrier aircraft, project of 1960.
Be-18 hydro plane for Naval Commander-in-chief, project of 1963.
Be-20 passenger airplane, project of 1964.
Be-22 -----?.
Be-24 passenger amphibian plane,project of 1963.
Be-26 ocean amphibian plane,project of 1963.

Frankly saying I only heard about two aircraft of the KOR category which are KOR-1, later redesignated Beriev Be-2, and KOR-2, later Beriev Be-4.
Could You please give here more details about the rest of the airplanes designated with KOR abbreviation :

KOR-3,KOR-4,KOR-9

 

[hesham]

OK my dear Boogey,

give me sometimes.

 

[hesham]

My dear Boogey,

the KOR-3 was called Be.6 and KOR-4 was called Be.8,and the KOR-9 was a
landplane Projected version,development of the KOR-2 with more powerful
ASh-62 engine.

 

[Boogey]

Thanks for fine informations. Interesting if there is a continuity in KOR system designation ? If so, we have fo find the KOR-5, KOR-6, KOR-7
and KOR-8 models.

We can make a speculation;

KOR-5 --------- MDR-10
KOR-6 --------- LL-143
KOR-7 --------- PLL-144
KOR-8 --------- KL-145

 

[Boogey]

Very interesting indeed, however You have to admit that the designations are very rarely used even on Russian sites and they are a little bit anachronisms.
I've found only information about the KOR-3 ( Be-6 ).

[hesham]

My dear Boogey,

from the same book; the Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft.

 

[Boogey]

I'm sure You've noticed that the sketch of KOR-9 from the Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft You have attached is very similar, if not the same,
to the one of KOR-3 variants ( the upper ).

and KOR-8 models.

KOR-5 --------- MDR-10
KOR-6 --------- LL-143
KOR-7 --------- PLL-144
KOR-8 --------- KL-145

KOR stands for "korabelnyi" i.e "shipborne". This designation was supposed to be used for catapult launched ship based seaplanes. But the Soviet Navy dropped the idea of using such aircraft after the WW2 (in addition to switching to designer's initials based designations for aircraft rather than the intended role abbreviation), hence no continuity in KOR designation system.

 

[hesham]
