johnny g Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Always amazes me how the Soviet shuttle is like the US one. Convergent evolution or espionage? Great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Always amazes me how the Soviet shuttle is like the US one. Convergent evolution or espionage? Great pics! Lessons learnt from the STS design and improved (blatantly pinched blueprints). Little things such as the Buran was designed to a powered glider, so they didn't have to aim and hope for the best on the landing. It was also remote control, I 'believe' (needs clarifying) but the only time it flew it was fly-by-wire and empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I love the old grey UAZ van parked up in one of those pics. Bonkers vehicle - they still make them today - built like a ship! (1/2" thick steel and no suspension!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
