[环球时报综合报道]“俄联合航空制造集团公司宣布,俄罗斯正在研究恢复在俄生产苏联时期的A-40‘信天翁’水陆两用飞机。”俄罗斯《晨报》6日称,A-40“信天翁”是苏联时期的多用途水陆两用飞机。它曾创下148项世界纪录。飞机最大起飞重量90吨、飞行时速800公里、航程4000-5500公里、巡航时间12小时,这是世界上任何同类飞机都无法比拟的。
最初,A-40是根据航空航天搜索和救援服务的技战术要求研制的。除了搜索外,它还用于反潜,可携带水声浮标、深水炸弹、水雷、鱼雷等。苏联解体后该项目被停止。
俄罗斯功勋军事飞行员弗拉基米尔·波波夫表示,恢复这种飞机的生产将给俄罗斯从北极到外太空带来新能力。未来两年内有望在“东方”航天发射场进行载人航天发射任务,一旦火箭出现故障,飞船可能会落入太平洋。新型“信天翁”将承担相关搜救任务。新的“信天翁”也非常适合在北极地区执行疏散和救援任务。另外,除了执行民用任务,它也具备执行军用任务的能力。它仍将是一种有效的反潜飞机。据报道,未来这种飞机可能将与中国新型AG600两栖飞机竞争。▲ (柳玉鹏)

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] "Russian United Aviation Manufacturing Group announced that Russia is studying the restoration of the Soviet-A-40 'Albatross' amphibious aircraft in Russia." Russia's "Morning News" said on the 6th, A-40 "Albatross" "It was a multi-purpose amphibious aircraft of the Soviet era." It has set a world record of 148. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 90 tons, a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, a range of 4000-5500 kilometers, and a cruising time of 12 hours, which is unmatched by any similar aircraft in the world.
Initially, the A-40 was developed based on the technical and tactical requirements of aerospace search and rescue services. In addition to searching, it is also used for anti-submarine, carrying underwater acoustic buoys, deep water bombs, mines, torpedoes, etc. The project was stopped after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Russian military pilot Vladimir Popov said that restoring the production of such aircraft will give Russia new capabilities from the Arctic to outer space. In the next two years, it is expected to carry out manned space launch missions at the "Oriental" space launch site. Once the rocket fails, the spacecraft may fall into the Pacific Ocean. The new "Albatross" will undertake related search and rescue missions. The new "Albatross" is also ideal for evacuation and rescue missions in the Arctic. In addition, in addition to performing civilian tasks, it also has the ability to perform military tasks. It will still be an effective anti-submarine aircraft. According to reports, in the future such aircraft may compete with China's new AG600 amphibious aircraft. ▲ (Liu Yupeng)
