Talking
to Navy Recognition, the Chief Engineer explained that the project which
was launched two years ago is completly designed by RADAR MMS company
and it did not follow any specific requirements from the Russian government
or military.
The A-080-752 has been designed as a transport Ekranoplan for both civilian
and military applications. However some weapons may be fitted for military
customers.
It is powered by two Progress D-436 three-shaft high by-pass turbofan
engine developed by Ivchenko-Progress. These engines are already in
use on Beriev BE-200 as well as other platforms.
It is estimated that it would take RADAR MMS only five years to complete
the project and conduct a first flight if a customer was to order this
new Ekranoplan.
