Naval Aircraft
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I guess I'll start this off. What follows is the result of a Russian/French joint venture in naval aircraft. Land aircraft are developed/purchased in the two countries separately, but since naval aviation in both countries is small compared to their Air Forces, development is being handled jointly. The engine is a French engine licensed to Russia. It's my first airplane, so please tell me if its hosed up:
