Hi, Yak-45 VTOL aircraft project of 1979.

Hi, Antonov SKV VTOL aircraft project which led to develope An-14;

While searching thru my bookshelf I re-found a book about projects from Beriev ... and also this - at least for me - unknown ASW-project ! ??? Was it an alternative one to the Tu-142 ASW-version or an independent proposal ? Source: see last pic ! Cheers, Deino

It's been great to browse Paralay's new site and be able to pick up things so quickly and easily. This caught my eye; it's half of an image showing preliminary designs for the MiG-29 from 1971 and 1972. Are there any any other sources for these? The clear progression from a -25 to a -29-style...

For counter Ticonderoga Class, Soviet also want a new class fighting ship which could be build in scores. Afterall, the Kirov class is too expensive. So here we see a new class that looks nuch similar with Ticonderoga. [EDIT: Not a real project - MODERATOR]

Vladimir Rigmant, Tu-160 article, Aviatsiya i Kosmonautika 02/2006 Picture is a Tu-144 model shown at Paris Airshow before first flight.

Do you know that designer ? Gashulyak,Yaroslav his name isn't mention in the book THE OSPREY ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT 1875-1995. He designed and built the G-1 a single seat helicopter, which powered by Irbit two-cylinder motor-cycle engine in spring of 1961.

As freaky as it is it's gotta be Russian ;) (The name probably says it all but any background on this?)

TsNII claim to be the institute with "stealth" experience. They claim to have reduced the RCS of Tu-160, S-37, and Kh-101 by factors of 6, 10, and 14 from the original designs. Chelomei are supposed to have intended to use a Plasma Stealth generator called "Marabou" on their 3M25 Meteorit missile.

Well, we all know the 1.44 demonstrator. But how did Mikoyan arrive at this configuration? What was the design evolution? What might the production 1.42 look like? What about the Sukhoi and Yakovlev designs? First- from Yefim Gordon's Nowe Su i MiG published in Polish by PKL, a TsAGI...
