Unidentified Soviet tip-jet heavy-lift helicopter project

[Caravellarella]

Dear Boys and Girls, here is an article in French about a Soviet tip-jet heavy-lift helicopter "project" which might be a Kamov design; note the caterpillar-track bicycle main undercarriage with outriggers......

The article comes from the 21st November 1959 issue of Les Ailes......

It reminds me on a Brathukin project, as shown on Stingrays site
(http://sites.google.com/site/stingrayslistofrotorcraft/bratukhin-heavy-lift-transport-helicopter),
but even larger.

Both the Soviets and the USAF experimented with tracked undercarriages in the '50's.
