TTS-IS

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TTS-IS (Russian Тяжелый транспортный самолет интегральной схемы ( ТТС-ИС )) is a ZAGI project for a very large cargo aircraft with a take-off mass of 1,000 tons, a payload of more than 6,000 tons and a cruising speed of more than 500 tons 500 km / h.

description

Although the aircraft achieves its highest efficiency as a ground effect vehicle at a height of 6 to 12 meters above water, it can take off and land at conventional airports, in contrast to other similar projects similar to Boeing Pelican . As with the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8, the aircraft is designed for landing at airports that comply with Code 4F (Aerodrome Reference Code) of the ICAO . It is intended for the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel and for the use of intermodal containers, which are standardized in train traffic, in ships and in truck traffic, instead of the smaller loading units common in aviation.

Also known as Heavy Cargo Aircraft with Lifting Body (HCA-LB), work began in 2014 as a proposal by ZAGI as part of a Russian government agreement. The HCA-LB was introduced in January 2017, and tests with models in the wind tunnel began in 2018. Approval is sought in the 2030s or later. The aircraft can load 48 20-foot ISO containers (TEU) in four rows with six TEU next to each other on the port and starboard sections. The two cargo areas are separated by an insulated fuel tank that extends the entire length of the fuselage and contains cryogenic liquid gas. The HCA-LB is nominally powered by a series of four turboprop engines arranged behind the cargo on the fuselage in a thrust configuration. However, the drive method will be determined more precisely in the future. The HCA-LB has a pi-tail (two vertical stabilizers and one horizontal stabilizer surface above), the two vertical surfaces extending near the rear outer corners of the cargo sections. Outside the cargo sections there are shorter, thinner wings that cannot be charged and that have wing tips pointing downwards.

The configuration of the HCA-LB is similar to the Boeing 754 model .
