The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 was a unique amphibious aircraft designed during the Cold War to counter a certain threat. With its 14 engines and unconventional design, the VVA-14 could reach speeds of up to 472 miles per hour. Despite its groundbreaking features, the VVA-14 never entered active service. Throughout aviation history, there are.

The Bartini Beriev VVA-14 Vertikaľno-Vzletayushchaya Amfibiya (vertical take-off amphibious aircraft) was a wing-in-ground-effect aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the early 1970s. Designed to be able to take off from the water and fly at high speed over long distances, it was to make true flights at high altitude, but also have the capability of flying efficiently just above the.

The VVA-14 was to be tested in three phases, with three prototypes. The first aircraft, VVA-14M1 would be a conventional aircraft, to test the aerodynamics of the design and be a technology testbed. It would also be used to test the inflatable pontoon system, after initially being fitted with rigid pontoons.

The Soviet Union's Bartini Beriev VVA-14, a vertical take-off amphibious aircraft, was quite an innovation. Developed during the 1970s, this bizarre-looking aircraft was designed for defensive purposes against U.S. nuclear submarines. As such, it was supposed to land and take off from the water, plus be able to fly long distances at high speed.

In the 1970s, a unique amphibian aircraft Bartini-Beriev VVA-14 was created for the defense of the borders of the Soviet Union. It was created for vertical takeoff and landing, but had the ability to take off and land both on water and like an ordinary aircraft. Its main task was to detect American submarines in case of their approach to the.

The air below the aircraft, between the wing and the ground, is compressed and creates a cushion that tries to push upwards. This reduces drag and enables a much heavier aircraft to fly. Back to the VVA-14 - it was designed to be able to make "true" flights of high altitudes as well as take advantage of the ground effect for efficiency.

One such venture became the Beriev-Bartinin VVA-14, an amphibious-minded Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft that appeared in the early 1970s. In the end, the aircraft only ever reached a prototype and testing stage with two examples completed. Design was attributed to Italian engineer Robert Bartini (1897-1974) who had partnered with the.

The VVA-14 aircraft completed 07 flights that culminated in103 hours of total flight time. The only remaining VVA-14, designated as No. 19172, was disassembled and retired in 1987. It was sent to the Russian Federation Central Air Force Museum at Monino. The aircraft is still in a dismantled state and can still be seen at the museum, where it.
