Hi Rus_P !
He actually revived in Omsk at the Polet plant - this second copy flew to Yakutsk for low-temperature tests, but fell in
UNOO January 27, 2001 due to failure of 2 engines. My Colleague - Yulun Vitaly Pavlovich, as an instrument operator from Meteo, was dragged by commissions then.
Although weather conditions, apart from low temperatures, could in no way affect the sad outcome of that takeoff.
And I was working at USRR then - I signed five informational letters about the Accident that I had read it.
According to the model,
it was actually discussed here and here -
SomBody Already Build . . .
It is a pity that the project has stalled. ... ...
