Russian K-7 Heavy Bomber - Reality or Fiction

by $h@mood G on July 16, 2010
Beware! Its a Cyber World - - Summary:

Recently circulating message claims that attached images depict a K-7, an exceptionally large aircraft built in Russia during the 1930's.

In fact, the K-7 was a real aircraft that was indeed designed and built during the 1930's in Russia. However, the images that come with the message are only an artist's rendition of the aircraft. They make the aircraft appear much larger than it really was. The images are not accurate depictions of the real aircraft.

First have a look to the following mail and images circulating via emails; then we'll proceed towards the detailed analysis:

=================================

Subject: K7 heavy bomber The most amazing airplane in History.....

Built in Russia during the 1930s, it flew 11 times before crashing and killing 15 people.

The designer, Konstantin Kalinin, wanted to build two more planes but the project was scrapped. Later, Stalin had Kalinin executed. Evidently, it was not good to fail on an expensive project under Stalin.

It's got propellers on the back of the wings, too. You can count 12 engines facing front. The size would be equivalent to the Empire State Building on its side, with cannons. And you think the 747 was big... not only a bunch of engines but check out the cannons the thing was carrying.

In the 1930s the Russian army was obsessed by the idea of creating huge planes. At that time they proposed to having as many propellers as possible to help carrying those huge flying fortresses into the air, jet propulsion has not been invented yet.

Not many photos were saved from those times because of the high secrecy levels of such projects and because a lot of time has already passed. Still, on the attached photos you can see one such plane - a heavy bomber K-7.
