.You don't need to be sorry.At http://masterrussian.com/aa081201b.shtml#l there are instructions how to pronounce "Л", whose authors definitely state that the letter designates two (slightly) different sounds: They give examples of both variations of pronounciation:hard /л/: лампа, cтол, лук (pronounced resp. like lahm-pah, stol, look),soft /л'/: Лена, лист (lye-nah, leest).The aircraft designer's name should then be pronounced with the hard /л/, which is closer (but of course not identical) to how "W" is pronounced in English.Best regards,Piotr

They give examples of both variations of pronounciation:
hard /л/: лампа, cтол, лук (pronounced resp. like lahm-pah, stol, look),
soft /л'/: Лена, лист (lye-nah, leest).
The aircraft designer's name should then be pronounced with the hard /л/, which is closer (but of course not identical) to how "W" is pronounced in English.
