Intro: Antonov A-40 - Flying Tank

The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (Russian: крылья танка, meaning "tank wings") also known as "A-40T" or "KT". Soviet attempt to allow a tank to glide onto a battlefield after being towed aloft by an airplane. The idea of a flying tank could transform army's but this ambitious project and it's inventor were ahead of their time. A prototype was built and tested in 1942 but it seemingly didn't work well.

The tank used on the a-40 was the t-60 tank.
