Russian design idea by eccentric the Moskaliov.
A Soviet Union aircraft planned in the 1950s that could fly at Mach 4, almost becoming the first hypersonic manned jet, sadly (?) didn’t even get off the drawing board.
Moskaliov explored combining ramjets and, after burning six turbojet engines, which would have pushed the maximum speed beyond Mach 4,
on the ‘fused wing-body/fuselage’ approach, far beyond its time. At around 50 meters long and 30 meters of wingspan, the DSB-LK was massive.
This plane was planned around the same time Lockheed Skunk Works started research on the SR-71 Blackbird.
The DSB-LK appeared exponentially ahead in terms of speed, role, versatility, payload, and even design than the Lockheed Martin SR-71.
For the ones who know me a little, rare, unusal historic planes is my interest in building planes. This will be my first builded "flying wing" because this is so much ahead of its time, that do it interesting. Had it been another design on the "engine pods" it could been a designidea today for 6th+ generation bombers.
Orginally it had 3 "jets" on each side, and on a 1000mm long aircraft model its would given 6 pcs EDF sizes at 25-30mm. Such ones is in production (even 16mm now) but they lack much on thrust. I decided to make it with 2x 50mm EDF´s to gain proper thrust, that gave changes on the sizes of the "engine pods" and also reduction on "engines" to two on each side (where one is a EDF) .
