"Наступил 2952 год... Год новый, может быть, последний для меня. Тебе для забавы написал я эту сказку. Рассказ о тяжелой жизни моей". Никто не знает, кому посвящены строки этой никогда не издававшейся повести. Автор писал ее всю жизнь и не успел закончить. У него было много других дел. В нашу сиюминутную историю этот человек вошел как "советский авиаконструктор Роберт Людвигович Бартини"... Автор Светлана Тернер, режиссер Нонна Бокарева, оператор Петр Сиднев.

Он придумывал летающие аппараты не похожие на самолеты, которые, казалось, не могли взлететь - однако они летали! Среди советских авиаконструкторов Роберто Орос ди Бартини известен как гениальный разработчик, но он считал, что потомки смогут понять и оценить его идеи только спустя три столетия после его рождения. В своем завещании он написал: "Запаять все бумаги в цинковый ящик и вскрыть его только в 2197 году". Теги:ГенийАвиаконструкторБартини
The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 Vertikal`no-Vzletayuschaya Amphibia (vertical take-off amphibious aircraft) was developed in the Soviet Union during the 1970s. Designed to be able to take-off from the water and fly at high speed over long distances, It was to make true flights at high altitude, but also have the capability of 'flying' efficiently just above the sea surface, using ground effect. The VVA-14 was designed by Robert Bartini in answer to a perceived requirement to destroy US Navy Polaris missile submarines. After extensive research, including the development of the small prototype Be-1 wing in ground effect aircraft, the first VVA-14 prototype was completed in 1972. Its first flight was from a conventional runway on 4th September 1972. In 1974 the inflatable pontoons were installed, though their operation caused many problems. Flotation and water taxi tests followed, culminating in the start of flight testing of the amphibious aircraft on 11th June 1975. The inflatable pontoons were later replaced by rigid pontoons, whilst the fuselage was lengthened and the starting engines added. This incarnation was given the designation VVA-14M1P. However, the bureau tasked with supplying the intended battery of 12 RD-36-35PR lift engines did not deliver, and this made VTOL testing impossible. After Bartini's death in 1974, the project slowed and eventually drew to a close, the aircraft having conducted 107 flights, with a total flight time of 103 hours. The only remaining VVA-14 ...

The VVA-14 was an extraordinary ground-effect amphibious aircraft. It had a big fuselage and two enormous 'pods' connected to the fuselage by large airfoil fairings, containing in all 12 lift jet engines for vertical take-off. Two more engines were installed on top of the fuselage, above a slender wing installed well back. Standard landing gear of the Tu-22 was used. Inflatable pontoons were attached to pods for 'wet' landing. Two prototypes were built. It is believed that the lift engines were never fitted. Two engines were fitted (in 1976) to the forward fuselage would create an air cushion by blowing their exhaust in the narrow channels between fuselage and 'pods'. Inflatable pontoons were replaced by rigid ones. This modification was designated VVA-14M1P (or just 14M1P). It was never flown. Теги:VVA-14BartiniecranoplanWIG
