Russian company JSC RADAR MMS is developping a new Ekranoplan project
dubbed A-080-752 which may answer the Russian Navy future needs. At IMDS
2013, Navy Recognition learned that 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. |
