Unidentified Soviet/Russian V/STOL projects

[Antonio]

My friend Thomas sent me this Russian designs:

 

[Matej]

More soviet/russian rotorcrafts to identify...

 

[JAZZ]

Not exactly a rotor craft, more a fan-in-wing concept but still interesting. Russian Inalet-18 ...anyone know what this project was. Another larger version was also modelled.

 

[luedo34]

Are (were) there any other known Soviet or Russian tiltwing/tiltrotor projects?
I only know of a Bratukhin design.
Cheers, Luedo

In addition to projects Bratukhin, first recall that, as a pair of competing projects of the mid-sixties - Beriev Be-32 and Myasishchev M-12 (one of many options).
And Myasishchev M-80 (3rd version) 1994.

MI-30 in the presentation of the artist magazine "Technics of Youth."

Very interesting engine arrangement. Is it two or four engines?

 

[flateric]

obviously two, Al

 

[yasotay]

I was thinking that might be the case, but I could not tell for sure if the under-wing intake was for exhaust cooling and accessory work or was in fact another engine. Thanks.

 

[flateric]

oh, talking of 'green' one - now I'm sure that there's four, judging from photos - you have sharper eye than me in the case

Topic cleaned up.

Feel free to add here any Soviet or Russian VTOL/VSTOL projects you cannot identify.

In response to reply #2 from Jazz:

During the MAKS ’93 Moscow exhibition there were many ideas and projects on display. Company VIST Company presented the VSTOL model of the Inalet-4 and Inalet-18 aircraft.

The appearance is that both craft were of unusual shape with a large rotor in the central part of the hull and two propellers, placed high on the tail section of the horizontal flight.

Inlet-4 is designed for four passengers and is suitable for observation, photography, search and rescue. It was to be equipped with two Allison 250-C20R engines mounted in the rear of the extended double hull and would serve as a horizontal and vertical propulsion system.

Inalet-18 was much bigger, as it is designed for 18 passengers or 16 troops or up to 2.5 tons of cargo, six wounded or similar. The four Klimov TV3-117VK (of 1640 kW (2200 hp) were to be installed and located like the Inalet-4.

Not sure, that those designs weren't posted before, I found them under at least two
different names.

 

[Silencer1]

Cover of highly popular Soviet magazine "Tekhnika-molodezhi" ("Technology for youth") from 1984.
Just an artists impression to article about VTOLs.
So, please, don't threat it as real project of any design bureau

Beautiful, Jemiba, thanks!

In this case it should have been posted in the "Theoretical..." section, I think... This being said, it's not theoretical at all, it's one of the Mil Mi-30 proposals and can be found elsewhere on the forum.

Hello, Skyblazer!

Yes, there is a very loose resemblance with Mi-30 projects (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,18151.msg174318.html#msg174318)
but the article in the magazine didn't mention any actual Soviet projects of tilt-rotors at all.


I posted the article preview here - http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,25059.msg254353.html#msg254353.
Curiously, one of it's author was Fyodor Kurochkin, student, who prepared graduate project of tilt-rotor aircraft "Sokol" (Falcon) in 1930th!

 

[Motocar]

Many of these projects so far I come to know ....!
