project 903 "LUN"

This truly inspiring human thought, which has no analogues in the world, inspired by eight turbojet engines NK–86, able to overcome 2000 km, made its first flight in 1985, in 1990, I enrolled in experienced exploitation now and in a single instance rust faded paint on your dry floating dock somewhere on the coast of the Caspian sea.

Combat anti-ship on a dynamic air cushion, designed in 1985, is able to simultaneously carry six missile 3М80 (80M Moskit, SS–N–22 Sunburn) and 11 crew members.

The main feature of the ekranoplan — the ability to fly at an altitude of from one to five metres of the main advantages is worth noting the effect of a sharp increase of the load capacity of the wing in flight near the surface, opened in the mid 20–ies of XX century allows to lift a ship weighing 243 tonnes (the maximum load is 380 tons, a payload of 137 tons, to the American B–29 Superfortress that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki maximum lift of 60 tons, with a weight of 30, Tu–22M3 — 187, weighing in at 94 tons) in the air and allows you to reach speeds of 500 km/h, in the same b–29 maximum speed of 574 km/h.
