Hi,

from a Russian report about aircraft design of 1950s,they talked about some real airplanes,but here is a group
of concepts,and I don't know if all of them were a hypothetical or generic,or they contained a real one ?.

Most of those drawings are just generic illustrations of various configurations.
Justo Miranda's last illustration contains a French-built Leduc experimental jet ... that flew several times and a simplified drawing of the French coleopter VTOL, ducted fan, concept that crashed early in testing.
 
Only the c), Osoaviakhimovets glider, is a real project. The rest are just schematics to show various features - how V-tail works, wing aind tail shapes, etc.

Does anyone have any more information about this glider? A grainy image showing a similar one is said to be of the KhAI-11. Are they the same machine?

I think you are right my dear Steelpillow.
