The Soviet Navy command of the 1960s was very interested in a fast military transport capable of carrying a large payload. The Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau was one of the organizations working on this top secret project, about which little was known until the fall of the Soviet Union. Chief Designer R.E. Alexeev designed several prototypes in the 1960s. At the start of the 1970s, Alexeev designed a medium-sized Ekranoplan to be used as a military transport. The new vehicle was named "Orlyonok" ("Eaglet"). The first flying unit (S-23) was initially tested on the Volga River in the autumn of 1972, and the next year dismantled and transported to the Caspian Sea for continued testing. In 1975 the S-23 crashed during testing, later proved to be due to a deficiency in the alloy used for the hull. A different alloy was used in all subsequent units built.

CFS2/FS2004 Breguet Bre_693 This unique two seater light ground attack aircraft was developed for the french airforce in the late 1930's. It was rushed into service and used to defend french soil against the German/axis blitzkrieg in the early stages of WWII (Battle of France). Due to the massive number of Germans/axis advantage of anti aircraft and ground defenses, Breguet crews suffered heavy losses. In the following events of the french having to surcome to overwhelming German forces, the remaining Breguets where taken and used by Germans and used as a trainer/reconnisance.
