About This File

FS98 KM Ekranoplan "Korabl'Maket" Upgrade. Revised model of the Russian experimental KM Ekranoplan, WIG (wing in ground effect) craft, with several improvements including animated turbines, flaperons, corrected aircraft shadow, new textures and smoother flight dynamics. With 544 tons fully loaded, 348 foot length and high-speed cruise at 275 knots, the KM Ekranoplan was without doubt the largest, heaviest and fastest ground-effect craft in history. It skimmed the waves on its cushion of air at 30-60 feet above the water, on only two of its ten turbojet engines. The forward eight engines were usually used for take-off only. The KM was developed in 1964 by Rostislav Alexeiev at the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau in Nizhny Novgorod, and flown on the Caspian Sea from 1966 until 1980. It went through eight stages of development and provided vital information for second generation military and rescue ekranoplans that could also fly above ground effect. Custom KM gauges and panel included. FSFSconv gauges needed. By Stephan Scholz.
