Soviet 1941 Schneider Trophy winner



After the 1931 was won by Macchi MC-72 which ended the UK winning streak and preventing the trophy going to the UK permanently, the winners of the following competitions were:
1933 - Curtiss R4C
1935 - Supermarine S-7
1937 - Macchi MC-86
1939 - No race due to international tensions
1941 - Beriev B-10M (First ever USSR entry in Schneider Trophy)



The Beriev B-10M was an aircraft planned by the Soviet Union's Beriev Design Bureau from 1935 to 1941; it was designed with the goal of surpassing the speed record at the time. The propulsion contra-rotating propeller is driven by two engines, on an all-metal fuselage. The radiator is placed inside the fuselage to reduce the front projection area.

I LOVE the look of that, and it's so very Beriev-like too.

I can just see that sliding down the ramp at Taganrog. 

That is way too cool!

Pretty! I am just not sold on the rather low propeller position...

Perhaps it cranks up at the rear like the Do-26? 

l'm glad that 1939's international tensions relented a bit by 1941, because that's a looker 

Very nice
