Apart from the one in the last post (self-evident):

big, supersonic (mach 2 to 4), high ceiling, project

and... don't trust the angle, the picture has been rotated, but it's a plan view

Ok.
Try then, uhm, conventional or nuclear payload, 1957, research going at least as far as 1959.
Different configurations and powerplants were evaluated.

Evening HP,

Is it a Moskalyov DSB-LK ??

'Fraid it'll have to be an Open House if it is, as I have just popped home for something to eat and then it's back to work again and another late nighter!!

Edit to say it looks like LM had a good time and I guess he was lucky with the weather too !!

im going to throw a left field suggestion here based on your caution, buttrick.

is it, in fact, a jet powered seaplane with the float tips projecting underneath the engines making them look like prop spinners?
