自贝-12水上飞机问世以来,前苏联大约有20年没有研究水上飞机了,这是由于前苏联领导人一度认为,既然连西方都不造这种飞机了,也就没有必要制造它。但贝-12飞机的实践证明,继续研制水上飞机还是很有必要的。“信天翁”问世 80年代初,塔甘罗格航空科技联合体的设计人员开始设计新一代水上飞机A-40“信天翁”。他们首先是想把它当作反潜机,以取代老式的贝-12反潜机。A-40“信天翁”飞机问世后,曾 Since the advent of the Bay-12 seaplane, the former Soviet Union has not studied seaplanes for about 20 years because the former Soviet leaders once thought it was unnecessary to manufacture it even if the West did not build such an aircraft. However, the practice of the Bei-12 aircraft proves that continued development of the seaplane is still very necessary. Albatros came out In the early 1980s, designers at Taganrog Aeronautic Science and Technology began designing a new generation of seaplane A-40 Albatross. They first want to use it as an anti-submarine aircraft to replace the old Be-12 anti-submarine aircraft. A-40 “Albatross” aircraft come out, ever
