ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT
SEND IN THE BIG BOYS
A big plane. For you. Why does it wear the dildo.
>>28567268
So if you were to have a plane like that and stick a bigass missile in that tube like one of those Chinese Anti ship missiles, would it destroy the plane when you launched the missile?
>>28567268
What am I looking at
>>28569303
blue red and green pixels set in such a way that it resembles a plane
>>28569283
It worked when I tired it in Kerbal.
>>28569303
A M-4 bomber modified to carry Buran boosters.
>>28569303
The fuel tank for Boran needs to be transported. Shame its rotting in a forest now. Even if it was a blatantly stolen design.
>>28569358
>The fuel tank
Its a rocket booster (Energia) on the Buran, the shuttle itself was unpowered.

>energia a stolen design
>shuttle unpowered
what the fuck am I reading.
>>28569506
Nope, nothing alike. I'm sure the color scheme was oc donut copy as well.
>>28569395
A rocket booster has a closed bottom? Its a fuel tank.
Now watch her rot. She didn't even get to go out with a bang like the Challenger/Columbia (old pieces of shit). She just faded away.
>>28569506
>shuttle unpowered
It has thrusters or manoeuvring, but not the huge engines the STS carried around Energia was the main lift engine. Energia was built as a stand alone launch vehicle, mainly for spy and armed satellites.
>energia a stolen design
It obviously was, but included several improvements.
>>28569587
>Its a fuel tank.
Look up 'Energia'
>>28569506
The real space shuttle had three RS-25 from Rocketdyne.
They are some of the best engines in the world, and were fed from a big fucking tank. This made the launch stack pretty easy to service, with the big fucking tank falling but the engines carried though the whole mission and soft landed at the end.
The Russian concept didn't have anything comparable to the RS-25. Instead the primary engines were mounted on the fuel tank and discarded during the launch phase. This is good and bad, as it means you don't have to carry the weight of the main engines, but you are also dropping the main engines from kilometers in the air every time you use them.
>>28567268
I'm sorry but how the fuck does that thing even fly with that much weight above the fuselage? I get that the tank is not full but even empty it has to weight 25000 lbs. Doesn't that fuck with the aerodynamics?
>>28570104
As long as the weight is distributed and placed correctly in relation to the aircraft's center of gravity, then all they have to really worry about is having the thrust to overcome the aerodynamic drag. If a 747 can carry a space shuttle on top, why couldn't something else carry a simple cylinder?
>>28570125
I should add that that comment is under the assumption that the aircraft has the capability to lift the weight of the object in general
>>28570125
That plane just looks a lot smaller than a 747. Looks like there's less lift surface to it
>>28570104
>it has to weight 25000 lbs
It can lift over 100,000lbs
>>28570104
You just center the mass right and you'll be fine. Besides, the plane has fuckhuge forward wings.
>>28570155
This. empty weight is ~167,000 lb and the max takeoff weight is ~432,000 lb. It may not look like it, but chances are the design of the wings and thrust of the engines combines to make it quite hardy. It was a bomber, after all.
>>28570135
It couldn't life the Buran very far, it was later replaced by the An-225.
>>28570155
Read my post again. Not weight i'm concerned about, where its placed

you could dronify the plane.

Life is good being a chubby chaser.
>>28570184
>Landing gear
>>28569342
Damn imagine how it must feel to fly that beast.
>>28570355
IIRC it wasn't that Soviet landing gear tech sucked, it was that Soviet runways were shit and cracked under the weight
So they needed more wheels to distribute it
>>28569444
Actually made me lol.
>>28567268
>we are over target, time to drop payload
>but sir, bomb is on roof!
>I SAID DROP IT
>>28570184
Is that the plane from uncharted 3
>>28569303
OP's dildo.
>>28569587
How can the russians create advanced shit while looking like a thirld world shithole?
>>28572272
They looked like a third world shithole because they spent what little money they did have on stuff like that. Kinda the same as India right now.
>>28572343
advanced shitting streets?
>>28572361
They have a space program, they've even sent a probe to Mars.
>>28572372
is the probe loaded with shit?
>>28572372
So that's where their one toilet went.
>>28572384
I wouldn't be surprised if it was contaminated.

Blew up on the launch pad
>>28576239
Wrong.
Did a 360 and walked away after breaking off from energia.
>>28572435
It's a heavy lifter. An-225 max to empty ratio is almost the same - 2.2 to 2.5 that of V-MT.
>>28570356
Probably very slow and relaxing tbqh
>>28572405
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
>>28576262
Oh yeah, i mix up my ussr space failures, my bad.
Polyus decided it did not like space, and kamakzied into earth instead.
>>28576321
It's Cold War. The real question is WHY THE FUCK NOT?
>>28576187
fuck u
it called "миp"-"peace", if you didn't noticed
>>28576211
So... it is what it looks like.
>>28572405
>>28576353
They still maintain the capability.
It's used regularly for missile defense tests.

Storage hangar just collapsed on it. I'm pretty certain that it wasn't exactly silent event.

Back to reddits front page you worthless subhuman piss
>>28576221
It's not comparable for Americans, because it's in a different price range.
>>28577456
Ey mang, where?
>>28569303
Central tank of Energia rocket transported by plane. Tank and Buran Shuttle were to big to transported by rail.
