OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The A-90 Orlyonok is a Soviet ekranoplan - a ground effect vehicle - that was designed by Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeev (1916-1980) of the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau. The A-90 uses ground effect to fly a few meters above the surface. The Russians classify it as Ekranoplan Class B - it can achieve an altitude of 3,000 m (3,300 yd), placing between Class A - which is limited to ground effect, and Class C, which exploits the ground effect only during take-offs and landings. The Soviet Navy command of the 1960s was very interested in a fast military transport capable of carrying a large payload. The Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau was one of the organizations working on this top secret project, about which little was known until the fall of the Soviet Union.
