The most famous ekranoplane,the Caspian Monster,appeard in 1966 in a photo from a US satellite.Only one built and modified seven times during its development.The "08" was the final prototype and sunk in 1980 after an accident in Caspian Sea,never salvaged due to the enormous size and weight.

The design is simple and "messy",but this was the best I could do.I leave it to more skilled members,now since I have many projects to finish.

It's the 3ed time I see someone tries to do it...
And there is one already in the archive.

The ekranoplanes in the forum are Lun,Orlyonok and the Spasatel.And now the KM.

This has way too many double-black lines and odd angles to be a credible SB drawing, in fact it looks more like a colourised profile that has been resized. I'll check the scale later. I have some good line drawings of the KM so I might cast an eye over it later in more detail.

seems a bit long. the green stripe is 106.5 meters, the stated length of this thing.

Wait, before saying that Zephyr, You might need to calcuate from hull, rather then include the fins.Won't be always but remember though.

This is why wingspan is always, always the best scaling approach for aircraft.

I did that Hood said above,it is a resized profile.Anyone who has a better profile should post it at Sources & References and pm me.I will be glad to see something good enough for doing the KM properly.
