This document reports on the 1992 development of a 'thermoplane' airship by the Moscow Aviation Institute. The craft is noted for its saucer-like appearance and high projected fuel efficiency for use in remote exploration and rescue operations.
This document is a Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) daily report from January 4, 1992, detailing the development of a new Soviet-era aircraft known as a 'thermoplane.' According to a report from TASS and the newspaper MOSKAVAYA PRAVDA, designers at the Moscow Aviation Institute created this machine, which is described as having an outward appearance resembling a 'flying saucer.' The primary intended applications for the thermoplane include remote environmental exploration and large-scale life-saving operations. The report highlights the craft's projected economic and fuel efficiency, claiming it will be five to seven times more efficient than a standard aeroplane and two to three times more efficient than an automobile. Furthermore, the document notes that the thermoplane's capacity can be compared to seagoing vessels with a displacement of up to 20,000 tonnes. At the time of the report, testing of the thermoplane was being conducted at the Ulyanovsk aviation industrial complex in the Volga region.
This unusual airship, outwardly resembling a flying saucer, is intended to be used for ecologically sound highly effective technologies in the field of superblock construction, for control and remote exploration of the environment and in large scale life-saving operations.
