A Soviet might-have-been maritime patrol ekranoplan

Post by Neilster »

Another excellent Mustard video about the very cool Bartini VVA-14. Mustard is two brothers from Canada and they do really good videos about technological curios. It's seriously worth checking out their stuff.

The video includes Bartini's proposal for a flying aircraft carrier. There's another Mustard video about a 747 version of this concept and it's an idea that the U.S. Air Force is still interested in.
