Act. 3 for brake parachutes
VTOL for flaps

The Ilyushin Il-52 was a proposed idea for a transonic, flying wing Soviet bomber in 1949. Much is unknown about this aircraft, and I had to approximate many measurements. The speed is somewhat accurate for a 4-engined bomber of its time, and so is the handling. It was really fun redoing this build the right way with blueprints and everything.

    I gave the engines 100 times the original power and the plane disintegrated at Mach 7

    @asteroidbook345 yeah I follow all of the good soviet builders who make these cool unusual aircraft. They experimented with so much

    @asteroidbook345 sadly a lot of these older soviet projects have very little about them on record. It’s shame because it probably gets lost over time as it’s deemed not important
