Myasishchev M-18

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Myasishchev M-18 is a Russian military aircraft. It is designed to be a supersonic bomber. It is designed with a variable-geometry wing.

The project was dropped in favour of the Tupolev Tu-160 program. Although the design was the most successful when competing with the Tu-160 and Sukhoi T-4, it was dropped as Tupelov had the most potential to go ahead with the supersonic bomber project.
