Description

Alternate History: As Russia drove it's army into Germany. The Russians started taking anything that would advance their knowledge in advancing technology. By capturing engineers and scientist from the Germans,Russian aviation made some advances in modernization. A captured experimental Fletner Helicopter along with some Auto Gyros with technical papers on construction,and,designs were studied in Russia. A lone engineer,who lived in Leningrad ,by the name of Gregor Suykinov,had the chance to study some of the papers on Auto Gyro design from the Germans. His dream of becoming a Heralded designer like  Mil,and, Kamov. So,Gregori Suykinov set out to design and build his Auto Gyro / Helicopter. In 1946,Suykinov presented the SyKB-10,an Auto Gyro,that was powered by 2 engines,that were linked together. If one engine took on damage or were to fail,the other engine would back the system up,for safe landing,or,at least get back to base. It was tested,and,put through various maneuvers in battle field conditions,as a target spotter/ recon craft. It even performed resupply ,and, rescue,by hasty rigging ropes to the frame. Even though the Army was impressed by it's performance,the SyKB-10 couldn't break past the resource power of Mil and Kamov. Suykinov gave up his dream,but,he was rewarded with parts support for the other 2 more well known helicopter manufacturers.
