In Russia, a unique ekranoplan

Russian aircraft manufacturers are developing a unique passenger wig.

According to preliminary information from the news agency Avia.pro, Russian aircraft designers are currently engaged in the process of developing a unique civil ekranoplane capable of transporting up to 500 shuttles on its board. The aircraft itself will have enormous dimensions, in particular, according to unconfirmed information, the wingspan of the aircraft will be 70 meters, and its length will be equal to 100 meters, and this is with the weight of the aircraft design in 600 tons.

The implementation of the project is scheduled for 2022-2023 year, while experts expressed the opinion that a number of air carriers will be interested in the operation of the aircraft, especially in those regions where the construction of a large airfield is either difficult or impossible.

If it were not for Nikita Khrushchev, they would have flown long ago on ekranoplanes.
