A spokes-person from Alekseyev Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau based in Nizhny Novgorod in Russia said the A-050 has a maximum takeoff weight of 54 tons and a loading capacity of nine tons. It can carry up to 100 passengers.
With an effective range of 5,000 kilometers, the cruising speed of the A-050 ekranoplan, the most advanced version of the Lun-class ekranoplan is estimated at between 350 and 450 kilometers an hour. The ekranoplan may be fitted with a R-195 starting engines similar to those used by Su-25 bombers and TV7-117SM boosters on the Il-114.
Georgy Antsev, chair of the bureau, said in an earlier interview that the company is ready to design a prototype for the A-050. "The A-050 has very good aerodynamics and has been successfully tested in a wind tunnel and on hydraulic canals," Antsev said.
Developed as a combination of aircraft and ship, the ekranoplan is capable to move freely along a variety of routes.

Tests of Yuanmeng Largest Airship
Yuanmeng
This concept art shows 18,000 cubic meter Yuanmeng
airship 20km above the ground (and for some reason, off the coast of the
Mid Atlantic U.S.). One of the highest flying airships, the Yuanmeng
can provide wide area surveillance and communications capability.
On October 13, 2015, China started the 24 hour
test flight of its largest airship yet in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia. The
Yuanmeng has a volume of 18,000 cubic meters, a length of 75 meters and
a height of 22 meters. It will fly to 20,000 meters to test its control
systems and near-space flight performance. With solar panels installed
on its top, the Yuanmeng will be one of the largest solar-powered
airships in existence. Using solar power to drive its rotors will save
additional weight in order to increase payload, and gives it a total
flight endurance of six months. The Yuanmeng's 5- to 7-ton payload of
data relays, datalinks, cameras and other sensors would also be powered
by the sun.
Like its smaller American counterpart, the JLENS
(currently parked outside Washington DC), the Yuanmeng can use its
sensors and high altitude to detect threats such as stealth aircraft,
cruise missiles, missile launchers, and warships from several hundred
miles away. But the Yuanmeng has other advantages over the JLENS.
While the JLENS is an aerostat, anchored to one location by a 3,000m
long tether, the Yuanmeng can freely move about and be redeployed. Its
high flight altitude also gives the Yuanmeng's sensors superior
situational awareness, and the ability to act as a communications rely
to Chinese aircraft and drones in the event of a loss in satellite
communications.
Yu Quan, a scientist of the Chinese Academy of
Engineering, notes that airships are ideal for long duration flights in
near space (the atmosphere between 20km to 100km altitude), though
thermal expansion from day and night temperature differentials are a
design issue. Operating higher in near space means that the Yuanmeng
would have constant line of sight over a hundred thousand square
miles--an important requirement for radar and imaging. Increased sensor
coverage means increased warning time against stealthy threats such as
cruise missiles, giving Chinese forces a greater opportunity to detect
and shoot down such threats. It would also be harder for fighters and
surface-to-air missiles to attack near space objects.
The program may be the start of a wider
portfolio of large airships. China Aviation Industry General Aircraft
Co. Ltd. (CAIGA), a subsidiary of China Aviation Industry Group, has
partnered with Flying Whales, a French company to build heavy airships,
with a 60-ton payload cargo airship reported to be their first aircraft.

Why CH-4B Drone Is Scary
1. A manned fighter is large.
An unmanned drone is much smaller and harder to detect with the naked eye.
2. Manned fighters are turbofan powered. This is necessary to avoid ground-based fire and MANPADS.
An unmanned CH-4B drone is propeller-powered. The loiter time of a CH-4B is dramatically longer than a manned fighter.
3. Without a manned pilot, an unmanned CH-4B won't get tired. It's easy to swap out unmanned pilots at the drone-control station.
4. Without a manned pilot, an unmanned drone is more likely to be deployed in dangerous battlefield situations. No one really cares if a drone is shot down. Just go buy another one.
They are only about $1 million each.
5. The CH-4B drone control station has high-resolution wide screens.
The American Predator has smaller square screens with a more constrained view.
The new-age stealth submarines, researchers create ‘cloak of invisibility’”
Two teams of scientists have created new materials to hide submarines from their enemies’ underwater sonar systems – one that transforms the vessel into a “chameleon”, and the other a prototype of a Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak.
The chameleon-like ceramic-type material, created by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, manipulates sound waves that come into contact with it, such as pulses generated by anti-submarine vessels that can identify underwater threats.
This ability means sonar operators analysing the submarine’s acoustic pattern can be fooled into thinking it is a whale, a huge shoal of fish, or even a friendly submarine.
Researchers call such materials “phononic” crystals. In recent years, various forms of phononic crystals have been developed to control, direct and manipulate the transmission of sound in gases, liquids and solids, but they all suffered one limitation.
Once created, their physical properties were fixed forever, giving the enemy tracking it the opportunity to trace its acoustic traits.
But the Chinese team, led by Professor Zheng Hairong, solved the problem by making it possible to control the crystal’s ability to change its acoustic pattern in a way similar to a chameleon changing its colour.
In the journal, Physical Review Applied, Zheng’s team demonstrated that the new material could change its acoustic properties in different temperatures. Raising the temperature by 20degrees Celsius, for instance, could cause a 20 per cent shift in its sound frequency pattern.
Research on phononic crystals has been carried out in many countries because of their potential applications in military and civilian sectors. Earlier this year, researchers in Singapore reported that it was theoretically possible to hide a submarine from sonar detection by coating it with phononic crystals.
But a second team of Chinese scientists could be a step ahead thanks to the huge government funding for technologies with military uses.
Wu Jiuhui, professor of mechanical engineering at Xian Jiaotong University, said his team had developed the prototype for an “invisibility cloak” for submarines. Its coating material could render a smartphone-sized object undetectable to sonar, even at low frequency.
To remain undetected, a submarine not only has to dodge the enemy’s active sonar beams, but also prevent its own low-frequency generated sounds, such as its engine or crew members’ voices, from reaching an enemy’s listening devices.
“No submarine nowadays can escape low-frequency detection. [But] our research will change the game of seek-and-hunt in the oceans,” Wu said.
“The military wants the simplest solution because it will be the most reliable … They may prefer straightforward invisibility, rather than camouflage.”
