fonchi262:A-90 OrlyonokSoviet fast military transport andbeach assault ekranoplan (ground effect vehicle), designed by Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev of the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau in 1972..Capable of carrying either infantry or a single BTR-80 APC, the front end of the Orlyonok was hinged behind the radome, so the whole assembly could open sideways to speed disembarkation. The Orlyonok had a built in folding ramp that allowed it to load and unload vehicles with no external support.Only 5 units built, one of which never flew, two crashed and the survivors were retired in 1993. -- source link
