Russian bomber flying wing

摘要

The Russian Air Force is reported to have chosen a subsonic Tupolev flying wing design as the basis for its PAK-DA long range bomber programme. Tupolev will complete an outline proposal for the aircraft and present a budget proposal for detailed design work by the start of 2014. Production is due to begin by 2020, with the type expected to eventually replace the air force's Tupolev Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers.
