The Bartini A-57 was an experimental Sovjet bomber plane designed to drop nuclear bombs on the United States. It was capable of landing on water or ice and could then be refueled by Sovjet submarines to cover the great distance. The plane never saw flight due to the upswing of intercontinental missiles.
Group 1 and VTOL: Landing gear
Group 2 and VTOL: Bomb bay doors
Group 3: Drops the bomb
The plane is a bit nose-heavy untill you hit 450 mph. It's maximum speed is about 690 mph at 20000 ft. Taking off the runway can be a little tricky. A water take-off might be a better option. Landing the plane can be very difficult due to its noselifting stallpattern. I suggest you take the plane to about 10 ft above the water and then hit the airbreak.
Hope you like it!
