The wood / metal model is from a Nord aviation small VTOL. I can’t remember the name yet. It got cancelled because of a lack of stability…

frankvw you are right this french project was named as Nord 500.

Hmm..Intresting…to know that even Sweeden was trying to develop a VTOL plane 😮 It is said that “1400-series The entire 1400-series were projects, where the aircraft would have started vertically, (VTOL). One of the projects looked like Hawker-Siddeley P1127 (later renamed Harrier).”
Doe any one has picture of any of these planes ???

PS: I know my wishlist is becoming bigger & bigger but 😮

I suspect you are getting confused by all the acronyms. The Bartini-Beriev VVA-14 is an ekranoplane, that is a a “wing-in-ground-effect” machine. It is NOT a VTOL at all.

It is not even a real airplane, btw: It just is not designed to fly within ground effect, ie not very high. (no more than 30-50 metres IIRC)

It takes off like any flying boat, by speeding up along the water surface.

I am sorry I didnt research this on other sites actually I read this info 😮 :confused:

This Soviet VTOL amphibian was the brainchild of the Italian immigrant Roberto Bartini. The Beriev OKB handled detailed design and construction. First conventional take off took place on 4 September 1972. Later the three prototypes were converted to Ekranoplans. The third prototype seen here without wings and engines was damaged by fire.

It seems that when they had a reactor meltdown at Chernobyl the Soviets did approach America… the carnegie melon university or something that had developed some robotic machines for working in highly radioactive areas for use at 3 mile island. The Americans refused to help obviously… they didn’t want to hand over that sort of technology… and so the Mi-8 and M-26 pilots dropping Boron and other material onto the exposed core of the reactor died within a few years of the incident, as did many of the ground troops sent in to move people out.

Yeah I had read that Story about Mi-26 Pilot who did that daring task in Reader Digest who later died due to cancer(off course caused by Radiation):(
