does anyone have info on this craft

hi, just wondering if anyone had info or knew about this craft.

it was being developed by either russia or germany. they only had B&W footage and since i was only flicking through the channels i didnt get much info about the craft nor did i get the name of the tv show. i do however remember the layout of the segment i was watching.
it was like a tag team, they talked about one topic, then talked about annother that linked in with the first, then annother that linked with the second etc untill the last topic linked in with the first again, it wasnt like a debate or anything it was just one presenter.

anyway. this is a rough "drawing" of the craft




i hope someone can shed some light on this craft.

This looks like an aurora-type craft, Mach 23 I think??

oh yeah i forgot to mention that this craft would be no longer than 50ft and no wider than 20ft cus there were people standing next to it and they still looked to be pretty big compared to the size of the craft.

The aerodynamics are all wrong for hypersonic flight, unless a plasma spike is used. Even so, there's too much cross-sectional area. I'd say it was a kind of semi-rigid blimp - those lines look like ribs. Sorry I can't be of much help.

I think its Saratov's "Ekip" aircraft that you describe



heres a link for info and more pics

Perhaps the V-173 Zimmer Skimmer:

I have to go with Pearly on this. Looks like that rusian craft which was build for militairy and commercial purposes.
