The Sukhanov Diskoplan were a series of experimental gliders designed by Soviet designer Minon Sukhanov. Sukhanov built four versions of the disc wing aircraft in the 1950s and 1960s. Seen here is the Diskoplan 2, built around 1960, it has a circular vertical tail, fuselage bow with cockpit integrated into the leading edge of the disc wing. The excellent collection at Monino has this example on display. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
