Year: 2010 Language: English Author: Gordon Y., Komissarov S. Genre: Technical book Publisher: Midland Publishing Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 338 Description: Over the years, many new developments have taken place in this particular strand of aviation, both in Russia and in other countries. New projects have emerged; some of them have been built and tested in prototype form, while others represent prospective studies awaiting their implementation. This brilliant book examines many of these new projects, as well as revealing new information of historical character that has become available in the recent years. The major part of the book is devoted to the type-by-type description of specific designs of ekranoplans developed in the Soviet Union and present-day Russia in the course of half a century. Special emphasis is put upon the activities of Rostislav Alekseyev, who has played an enormous role in the development of this new technology. WIG vehicles created by the Alekseyev-led design bureau include the KM-1, dubbed the ‘Caspian Monster’, the Orlyonok and the Loon’ ekranoplans which remain unsurpassed to this day in terms of size and payload. Special chapters deal with ekranoplans developed in several other major design bureaux, notably those led by Sukhoi, Bartini and Beriyev. Packed with a variety of artwork and drawings, there are also detailed descriptions of rare designs developed by private firms. Other highlights include examples of similar technology developed in other countries of the world including USA, Germany and China. This is the definitive volume on the subject and will be eagerly awaited by aviation enthusiasts worldwide. Предлагаемое издание содержит множество сведений и ранее не публиковавшихся иллюстраций по разработке, испытаниям и эксплуатации экранопланов в СССР/РФ, а также краткий обзор создания аппаратов этого класса в мире. Помимо основных разработчиков (КБ Алексеева и Бартини) в книге уделено внимание проектам других коллективов и отдельных энтузиастов в этой области.
