Oh what for Fantastic PDF
A BIG THANKS to flateric !

The picture was photograph by V. Shitov in 1965 and use for the book S.M.Belotserkovskogo "Pioneers of the universe."
The model is labeled as "vozdushno space plane".

flateric, if i understand the text right
Pavel Popovich, Valery Bykovsky, Yuri Gagarin, Andrian Nikolayev and German Titov worked on Buran shaped Reentry vehicle in mid 1960s ?
 
you got it wrong again. they have worked on different shaped vehicle
vehicle that _looks_ like Buran from the certain angle was other generic hypersonic vehicle - author not even sure if it was ever intended for space flights
 
thanks for correction
my Russian language knowledge is far from good

Buran-68 and _not_ Buran-68

This is the first project of the Russian shuttle. Its author is Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. His diploma. 1968. This is a manned shuttle. Black and white paintings from my collection. Their author is Alexey Arkhipovich Leonov. The first Russian shuttle of a very simple design. Bearing body and small side wings. On the bow of the ship are brake grids. Drawing and photographs of the project in the illustration. The official name of the project is Buran 1968.

The Burya 1957 cruise missile is an unmanned cruise missile. Not a shuttle.
