History
When you think of weird and wacky planes, typically the luftwaffles of Germany are what typically come to mind. But Germany doesn't have a monopoly on the strange. The former Soviet Union was also heavily motivated to built new and groundbreaking aircraft especially in the 20's and 30's. However due to heavy secrecy, many projects that have remained unknown. The few projects that have slipped through the curtain have very little information on them. One of these projects began in 1932 when the VVS (Air Force Research Institute) called for a manned ramming aircraft code named "Taran". This ramming fighter program looked at several manned and unmanned solutions. The most successful of these was the Grokhovsky G-39. The G-39 had an unusual configuration. A long boom extended from the nose of the aircraft, which was in a pusher configuration. Two steel wires led to the tips of the 38 degree sweptback wings, the leading edges of which were reinforced should the wires fail. Because of the assumed danger from enemy bullet the G-39 was fitted with a bullet resistant windscreen. This aircraft was rolled out for trials in the spring of 1935. Unfortunately it failed to fly. Its 100hp radial engine left the G-39 severely under powered and the engine placement further reduced propeller efficiency. Ultimately the G-39 project would be cancelled without the aircraft ever taking flight.

Notes
Requires an air spawn.
Very underpowered.
Lands nicely tho!
