Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back METHOD OF LANDING AN AEROSPACE AIRCRAFT ON AN EKRANOPLAN A.Yu. Knyazhsky, A.V. Nebylov In existing projects, a special runway is required for landing an aerospace aircraft, which is why landing should be carried out only in certain places. In addition, additional costs are required for the construction and maintenance of this runway. Also, one of the main indicators of flight efficiency is the payload mass of an aerospace aircraft. The article proposes a method and device for landing an aerospace aircraft using an ekranoplan, allowing landing on a water or other fairly flat surface and increasing the payload of an aerospace aircraft due to the absence of a wheeled chassis. Keywords: aerospace aircraft, orbital aircraft, landing, ekranoplan, aerospace technologies. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.2.2023.1320 Pp. 03-09.
