AIRCRAFT

FIELD: transport, aviation.

SUBSTANCE: proposed aircraft comprises horizontal tail arranged above the cockpit while the vertical tail features a 45°-inclination and is made up of two planes with their front and rear edges turn in step towards the same side. The fuselage is made up of two symmetric parts. The central part accommodates large-size cargoes for which the fuselage rear part is furnished with a hatch closed with one wing (ramps). The fuselage front part is a passenger's compartment. The engines are fitted to sustain the moments originating at the 50%-failure. The main three-leg landing gear ensures required cross-country properties.

EFFECT: higher power efficiency, safety, ruling out aircraft spin.

I strongly suspect an Antonov connection here but I have no proof other than the fact it's a design from Ukraine...

Weird selection of 'generic' tanks... I guess they were in a rush to file?
