Lun-Class Ekranoplan "Caspian See Monster"(Submission for the contest)
Hey Everyone. Today I am now participating the JNO Monthly contest 2nd edition. So here it is, the Lun-Class Ekranoplan. You could hover this (or fly this cuz i accidently made this thing fly) thing to pitch up instantly.
The Lun-Class Ekranoplan is a massive Soviet-era ground effect vehicle (GEV) designed by Rostislav Alexeyev, a brilliant engineer. It's a marvel of Soviet engineering, built in the 1970s and '80s.
What is it?
The Lun-Class Ekranoplan is a ground effect vehicle, meaning it uses the "ground effect" phenomenon to fly just above the water's surface. It "flies" on a cushion of air, generated by its massive wings, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 550 km/h (340 mph).
Design
The Ekranoplan has a huge, flat, wing-like body, with a length of 73.8 meters (242 ft 2 in) and a height of 19.2 meters (63 ft)(in real life, but on JNO, its different). It's powered by 10 Kuznetsov NK-87 turbofans, 8 at the front and 2 at the rear. These engines provide the thrust needed to get it moving and keep it "flying" above water.
Purpose
The Lun-Class was designed for military use, specifically as a missile carrier and attack craft. It could carry 6 Moskit (SS-N-22 Sunburn) missiles, making it a formidable opponent.
Capabilities
- Speed: Up to 550 km/h (340 mph)
- Range: Approximately 1,000 km (620 miles)
- Payload: 100 tonnes (220,000 lbs)
- Crew: Around 15 personnel
Legacy
Only one operational Lun-Class Ekranoplan was built, and it's been sitting in Kaspiysk, Russia, since the 1990s. It's a testament to Soviet innovation and engineering prowess.

@Everyone. For those who said its not working properly just like @naina said:
1. Launch at the DSC bay. with the water physics is high.
2. Activate the NK-87 Turbofans x 8(AG1) and NK-87 Turbofans x2(AG2).
3. Throttle up to 100%
4. Pitch up IMMEDIATELY.
5. Keep pitching up until you hover about 5 meters.
6. And know you are accelerating above 30m/s just like @Bobtheoperator just said.
7. If you wanna set this fly, KEEP PITCHING up.
@Nepenthe descriptions and comments can be editted
did you change the desc after i did /question
@OrionZettaSpace1778 yep
brudda........
@KirRu Soviet union... right you talkin??
Горжусь ☭
@Livingg017 I'm not always online though, cuz you know... I'm native
@Livingg017 naaah way ... iPhone?? Mine android
@OrionZettaSpace1778 iphone 11Pro (it is dying)
@Livingg017 Wait you have a bad device? Just like mine... Is yours on PC with low performance or just on mobile??
@naina Brudda did you pitch up after launch 1 nanoseconds ago and is you're water physics is high? That would be less sensitive to water if the water physics is high...
@Bobtheoperator ....and is you're water physics high? If it is, that would be less sensitive to water...
@Bobtheoperator bro, pitch up instantly at launched 1 nanoseconds ago.. That will make it hover..
@OrionZettaSpace1778 i cannot make that contest sadly, it wont be fair for those with bad devices (me included as i would have to burn my phone in order to rate all submissions)
It doesn’t get above 30 m/s what am I doin wrong
Brother your ekranoplan isn't working properly
@Livingg017 Imagine you made another JNO monthly contest with a part limit of 5000?! like EVERY PRO BUILDERS IS COMIN TO JOIN IN!!
HOLY SHHEEEEESSSSHHHHH
@Livingg017 its OK... And HOW DID I GET 11 UPVOTES???
@OrionZettaSpace1778 oh man im sorry, the first time i was reading the comments here i saw you saying it looked bad and thought you were insulting the job, i didnt know it was you the one who build it, what a misunderstanding of mine.
“A stranger is a friend you haven’t met yet”
@OrionZettaSpace1778 congrats! getting much upvotes is really pleasing isnt it? i remember when i still was new on this site… didnt get much upvotes until i started taking epic photos for the crafts
@OrionZettaSpace1778 made It 9
Yoo 8 upvotes is my new record.
