Big And Fast Is Always Better,

or is it not?


if you like big fast aeroplanes this is the one for you, named the PAK TA, the concept from Russia’s Military-Industrial Commission will be a supersonic transport than can deliver Russian troops and tanks at high speed across the globe, and according to Russia’s state-owned network, RT, they want them ready for military service by 2024, inside, Russia wants it to fit at least seven future tanks (also still in development), and then carry them through the sky at supersonic speeds of over 1200 mph to destinations up to 4000 miles away, the PAK TA’s planned 200-ton capacity will enable it to carry one or two more tanks than the Super Galaxy, with the full planned fleet of 80 PAK TA’s capable of lifting at least 400 tanks to anywhere with a runway that can accommodate 80 gigantic cargo planes, but for me everyone is missing the point here, produce the plane as a civilian passenger plane, reduce the payload for passengers not tanks, which will hopefully increase the range and be the envy of the aeronautical world with the only supersonic passenger aircraft in the sky.
