Russian experts new “flying saucer” concept map

Currently, Russian experts is developing a resembles a “flying saucer” aircraft, reported that Russian military aircraft have caused parties concerned. Russian media have the experts are “made for the Department of Defense UFO” in the title, which shall be reported. Analysts pointed out that over half a century, well-known phenomenon of the mysterious flying saucer, and some have been linked to major countries like Russia and the U.S. secret weapons research and development. Russia, once successfully developed this new type of vehicle mounted side by side, the Russian Air Force combat capability, particularly in air transport and delivery capability will achieve a qualitative leap.

air giant load 1500 tons

ITAR recently reported that this unique vehicle, called “pot camel scanner” Its shape is reminiscent of the “alien” riding “flying saucer.” The aircraft up to 250 meters in diameter, about 100 meters high, can carry 1500 tons of cargo. It combines aircraft, helicopters and air performance in a boat, to direct, will turn, can hover in the air, landed on the ground can be vertical or even the forest. In addition, the disc design gives it excellent aerodynamic performance, even if the encounter wind can keep a good flight stability.

present, the Russian researchers have completed the manufacture of scale model aircraft, and tested. Russian experts develop the aircraft’s original intention, is it very large cargo transport can not reach to the ground, while the use of existing helicopters and fixed wing aircraft in the economic and very worthwhile place. It was reported that outstanding flight performance, load striking the vehicle, once launched, will have to be optimistic about Russia’s potential customers at home and abroad. In addition to Department of Defense showed great interest in some of the giant oil and gas industry would like to use it to transport drilling equipment, the Russian Emergencies Ministry ready to take it to the forest fire, and a French satellite launch company that can use it to transport rockets.

dish aircraft military enticing

despite Russia-related reports so far are interested in the Russian military did not specify the reason, but people believe The military aircraft will be used in the future.

known dish aircraft developed in the early development of aviation in the early attempts began as early as 1911, American inventor to create an umbrella-type aircraft. The 1940s, especially during World War II, the dish has been the development of aircraft supported by the U.S. military was in the field was undoubtedly have had some success in Germany. 1950s, the United Kingdom, Canada, the former Soviet Union and the United States from Germany when World War II, the use of expert hands to get the technology, setting off a military climax of UFO research and development. For decades Russia and the U.S. and other air power has never given up on the “UFO” research, as compared with ordinary fixed-wing aircraft, the dish has many unique properties of aircraft, such as: aspect ratio is small, wave drag is also small, suitable for high-speed flight; for the use of ground effect, easy to implement vertical takeoff and landing; do not need to do circling maneuver, quickly point to the target, and this will undoubtedly change the current characteristics of the basic concepts of air combat tactics.

Russia from the real “flying saucer” How far

through years of persistent research, the Russian aircraft in the area of ??the dish has made considerable progress, is expected to create a real “flying saucer.” Back in the 1980s, famous Russian designer UFO on the successful launch of the pension called “Ai Jipi” dish aerial vehicle programs. 20 years, Russia has launched a “Aiji Pi” program a variety of civilian and military variants, including civil unmanned flying saucer, UFO fire, capable of carrying 2000 passengers, passenger flying saucer can be used for anti-submarine patrol and The military put troops and weapons flying saucer, complete a variety of scale model and full-size prototype of the individual production and testing. 1993 Russian federal government decided to “Ai Jipi” project budget, the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense and other departments also support one kind of take-off weight of 9 tons of “Ai Jipi” flying saucer into volume production. However, due to lack of funds, production did not materialize. “Aiji Pi” series of UFO research and development success caused great interest the United States, beginning of this century the United States and facing financial difficulties, “Ai Jipi” main contractor – Saratov aircraft factory agreement of cooperation to promote the “Ai Jipi “UFO project, but the implementation of the circumstances, is less clear.

As for the Russian experts of this new “flying saucer” in the long run such a large aircraft the military should have a very broad application prospects. If used for military transport, 1500 tons of load will become a super strategic delivery platform. However, the program is still in the scale model testing stage, compared with mature technology, to fully test the “Ai Jipi” UFO project, no doubt there is still a long way to go.
