MightyMike Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I'm guessing the logistics associated with transporting the shuttles back to mother Russia was too challenging.
powderbrake Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Those "technological advances" look a lot like our Shuttle Craft , which were actually tecnhological advances.
NVP66S Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Those "technological advances" look a lot like our Shuttle Craft , which were actually tecnhological advances. Yes, the aerodynamics were stolen from the American design, but the propulsion was completely different. The strap-on boosters for example were pump-fed liquids rather than solids. Both were capable of flying autonomously (and the Soviet version did) except the American Shuttle needed a live pilot to lower the landing gear.
xcarguy Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 . . . . . the American Shuttle needed a live pilot to lower the landing gear. Job security. :jester:
