We are back in the Monino museum, this time to observe all the beauty of the high speed bomber ANT-40. Like other high speed bombers it does not have engines. Maximum bomb capacity – up to 1600 kg, combat radius – 600 km. Max. speed – 419 km/h. The plane had been produced since 1938.

Why do you say that it doesn’t have engines? It was a twin engined plane.
“Like other high speed bombers it does not have engines” – Why?
Beautiful design with what is almost a blended wing fuselage type construction.
I guess there are people sitting inside instead of engines, who are on bicycles connected to the propellers.
Let’s start those engines, and it will go even faster.
Hi,
I visited Monino in May and did not see this aircraft and several others which were there in previous years but now absent, unless I missed something.
Could you tell where these aircraft are.
Thanks
Mike
