Advances in industry and the mastery of metallurgy from deposits found early in the nation's existance leads to the production of an experimental naval warship:

The Development of Superior Naval Technology in the USSCR
The Magneto/Hydrodynamic Propulsion System:
The Magneto/Hydrodynamic Propulsion System, or Caterpillar, consists of two tunnels running the length of a submarine hull, a series of impellors in the sides of the tunnels, and a cryogenic plant. Using the Caterpillar Drive renders a submarine totally silent, as the system doesn't draw on the main reactor as much as normal drives do. The tunnels themselves are insulated to reduce cavitation within them, as well as any vibration that might give away the ship's position to another submarine. Even the occasional rumble heard has been dealt with by means of revamping the Cryogenic Plant and further insulation incorporated into the tunnels.
The 941AX is the first of the Type-II Typhoon-class, or Typhoon-II, and is somewhat larger than normal ships of this class, in order to incorporate six more missiles, the tunnels, impellors, and the cryogenic plant. Plans gathered from the Soviet Union were used to build these SSBNs.

(note: This is the layout of the 941AX save for the impellor drive doors.)
The 941 AX also has a backup diesel-electric plant that is both small enough to fit in the hull, and large enough to keep her batteries sufficiently charged so that the vessel can still operate almost normally at periscope depth. The 941AX design has had a partial refit, and instead of carrying 26 ICBMs, she now carries 20, with the forwardmost six tubes converted to launch Guided Cruise Missiles, making the SSBN an even more potent weapon in battle.

Only one An-225 was built for the transport of the Buran space shuttle and other outsize caro loads.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competition (Konkurrenz)
None. The An-225 is far and away the largest and heaviest aircraft ever built, surpassing even the An-124 and Lockheeds C-5 Galaxy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remarks (Bemerkungen)
Because available aircraft like the An-22 and the Myasishchev M-4 (VM-T) were too small, Antonow got an order to build a new transport for the carriage of outsize loads, namely the Russian space shuttle orbiter Buran and associated rocket stages.
A logical starting point was the An-124. Antonows designers stretched the fuselage, eliminated the rear cargo doors to save weight and fitted twin fins to avoid airflow problems with external loads. Also, a new wing centre section was built, with an additional two engines. The main landing gear got additional wheels.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History (Geschichte)
Design studies for the the An-225 started in mid-1985.
The An-225 was rolled-out at Kiew in December 1988 and flew for the first time an the 21st of the month. The crew included Alexander Galunenko (pilot), Sergei Grbik (copilot) and Alexander Shileshchenko (flight engineer).
On 22 March 1989, the aircraft set a total of 106 world and class records, with a payload of 156 tons. The first flight with the Buran on the back took place on 13 May 1989, from Baikonur. The next month, the An-225/Buran was the star at the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget.
With the end of the Buran programme, the only aircraft built was stored at Kiew from about 1994. By that time it had made 347 flights and 200 flight hours. Certification trials were finished about 90 per cent.
From time to time, there were efforts to bring the An-225 back in operation for worldwide outsize cargo operations. These then led to the refurbishment of the sole An-225 from automn 2000, with new avionics (Honeywell) and modified engines to lower noise levels. Price for the work is said to be 20 million US-Dollars, paid by Antonow and engine maker Motor-Sich.
The An-225 flew again on 7 May 2001 from Gostomel airfield. This was later then first thought (February). The first sortie lasted 30 minutes. After a few further flights, it is expected that the aircraft will appear at the Le Bourget Air Show in June. Service entry with Antonov airlines could be by the end of the year. There are also plans to complete the second An-225, which was partly finished when work stopped in 1994.
The An-225's plans were purchased from the Air Foyle company, who uses the Antonov 225 currently. Massive assembly lines have been created in the raw material-rich nation of Communist Rule.
Price set at: 400 Million USD
