Lun-class ekranoplan

The Lun-class ekranoplan was a ground effect vehicle designed by the Russians during the cold war, and although I was not trying to make a perfect recreation, I did include six short range missiles. The kraken loves this one, so I limited the thrust on the engines resulting in it having a top speed of around 75 m/s. [Download]

Nice job dude, I love it when people make unique designs, and ludacris idea's! Or should I say "Lun" acris? ha!

Thanks! On KerbalX I have two more and an aircraft carrier version underway. Ekranoplans are just so fun to build.

Been looking for one of these for a while. I guess it's more viable with the new buoyancy.

Yeah, it's not a perfect recreation, but it is fun to play with. (But not to eat.)
