Summary edit

Description
English: The Lun-class (harrier) ekranoplan (NATO reporting name Duck) was a seaplane designed by Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeev and used by the Soviet and Russian navies from 1987 to sometime in the late 1990s. This ground effect aircraft used the extra lift generated by its large wings when close to the surface of the water (about four meters or less). Lun was one of the largest seaplanes ever built, with a length of 73 m (240 ft), rivaling the Hughes H-4 Hercules ("The Spruce Goose") and many jumbo jets.
Català: El pantallaoplan de la classe Lun (portador) (el nom que informava de l'OTAN Duck) era un hidroavió dissenyat per Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeev i usat per les armades soviètiques i russes des del 1987 fins a la fi dels anys 90. Aquest avió d’efecte terrestre utilitzava l’elevació addicional generada per les seves grans ales quan es troba a prop de la superfície de l’aigua (uns quatre metres o menys). Lun va ser un dels hidroavions més grans mai construïts, amb una longitud de 73 m de longitud, rivalitzant amb els Hughes H-4 Hercules ("The Spruce Goose") i molts jet-jet.
