| Development of jet-lift V/STOL aircraft made it desirable also to develop supporting vehicles able to supply the dispersed and frequently moved operating bases with food, fuel and munitions, and also to provide defence. Yakovlev produced this remarkable project for a complete flying SAM (surface-to-air missile) system.
The huge box-like fuselage, some 49m long, carried six V-750 (11D) or V-755 (20D) [ASCC name 'Guideline'] missiles ready to fire on their launchers, plus reloads and the supporting radars and auxiliary power supplies. It was lifted by six six-blade rotors, each driven by four turboshaft engines. The requirement evaporated with failure to put land-based V/STOLs into service.

| paul, paulewing81(@)yahoo.co.uk, 15.10.2009 thunderbirds are GO!!!!! | | Randy, randynspokane(@)yahoo.com, 15.06.2009 Actually, helicopters do not fly, they just beat the air into submission. | | Robert, robertdeleon74(@)yahoo.com, 12.06.2009 This aircraft looks like the real Helicarrier for S.H.I.E.L.D. for any of you who have ever read Marvel Comic books and know who Nick Fury is. | | Ayan, ayankdutta_31jul(@)rediffmail.com, 07.05.2009 Wow, this craft is really cool. Looks like some craft from the Science Fiction movies.Just great | | kiran, napstervkk(@)gmail.com, 20.04.2009 will u send me model sketch of your project let me know something about your project please | | Nikos J. Farsaris, njf(@)freemail.gr, 18.08.2008 This one gets the prize... Any prize... Imagine nowadays a squadron of them would carry an S-400 Regiment anywhere in 2-3 hours, land and fire in minutes! | | Sgt.KAR98, 17.08.2008 Looks like a WWII LCUP | | J Cook, forte41(@)hotmail.com, 04.07.2008 To USAF ... Actually, that old concept of the Bernoulli's principal is inaccurate. Truly, it is not considered the principal behind lift.
Unfortunately so is that of Aesthetic Repulsion. What really gets huglicopters off the ground is "incidence". That's just pilot shorthand for saying the "Dense dude inside" does it. | | Castle22r, castle(@)castlerockhobbies.com, 16.06.2008 As "Dave" put it,"Interesting concept". | | Paul, paul011(@)sympatico.ca, 26.05.2008 I find your site truly amazing! The level of sophistication that was achieved in Russia regarding helicopter design during the Soviet period is something that all of us should sit back and think about. I am totally in awe of the ideas that were thought about much less acccomplished! Thank you for enlightening the rest of us! | | USAF, dave(@)mytrashmail.com, 12.05.2008 Did you know that, compared to most fixed-wing aircraft, all rotor craft rely on a different aerodynamic principle for flight?
Fixed wing aircraft rely on Bernoulli's principle, raising air pressure under the lifting surface relative to the pressure above it.
Rotorcraft, on the other hand, operate by Aesthetic Repulsion: they are so disgustingly ugly that the earth actually pushes them into the atmosphere.
I'd imagine this particular rotorcraft would fly exceedingly well. | | mike, private, 08.05.2008 is it safe ??? | | Dave, DDogbreath(@)msn.com, 08.05.2008 Interesting concept (the aircraft), however the accident video link on your sight (free videos), require the installation of hard to remove spy ware (Zango)to view. |
