ZAR-R6 | White-Light

662 EVERE  7 days ago

ZAR-R6 "White-Ligh"t is a strategic high—speed reconnaissance aircraft developed by the ZAR Design Bureau in 1983. Designed with an eye to extreme speeds and heights, the aircraft proved to be technically difficult and expensive, which limited the series to six machines: Stork, Crane, Heron, Ibis, Albatross and Condor. The first two devices were prototypes, later brought to the serial standard.
The unique aerodynamic design ensures stable cruising flight at a speed of M=3.8 at an altitude of 29 km, and the use of afterburn allows for short-term acceleration to M=4.6

Oh, and Happy New Year, if that's still relevant.

Upd: Don't expect any serious (or likely any other kind of) projects until July or August. Trouble with motivation.
