Notes
- The Orlyonok is the Alexeyev bureau's turboprop-cruise assault-transport ekranoplan, first flown in 1972; one survives at the Moscow Navy museum.
- The file is a 58.1 × 31.5 × 16.3 m box from Wikipedia (sourced to Komissarov). A Russian-language source quotes a 600 m² wing area instead of 304 m², so wing area is uncertain.
- Marked secondary: figures are from encyclopedic sources, not a factory document.
- True size, no printing tolerance added. Only published numbers are used; anything not published is said so.
- Secondary source: the numbers come from a retailer or magazine copy of the maker's specification.
