A-40 Albatros
Two prototypes of the A-40 maritime-patrol amphibian have been flown, but the programme is moribund with no funding from Russia's naval-aviation forces. The twin-turbofan A-40 was designed to replace the Ilyushin Il-38 May and Beriev Be-12 Mail. The aircraft is optimised for long-range ASW, with a nose-mounted refuelling probe mounted above a large radome and provision for a retractable magnetic-anomaly detector. Twin 118kN Soloviev D-30s are mounted on booms extending from the fuselage and wing trailing-edge, well above the wing, to prevent water ingestion during take-off and landing.
