Ecolifter Ultra High Capacity Cargo Aircraft

[ucon]

Hi all!

A question to German forum members.

While searching in MDB archieve, I have found two sheets of drawings of large cargo aircraft specially designed for Germany. It was in April of 1994. 15 years has passed ad now even Mr. Pogodin (Chief of general configurations Dept. at that time) doesn't remember for whom they were doing this design. There were some articles about MM-1 joint German-Russian project in newspapers and magazines in both countries, maybe it is possible to find something about these projects also? Will be very grateful to any assistance.

This is the Ecolifter design. Two different layouts, the IC (Intercontinental?) and EU (Europe?) variant, have been investigated. Both models survived in Bavaria. I've sent the contact address to ucon. So I hope we'll see details in one of his forthcoming Myasishchev books or here in the forum .

Shots were made at ILA'94. Sorry for the bad quality.
