This work is an attempt to reproduce a quite possible attempt in the 1930s by a certain hypothetical and not entirely healthy and poorly educated designer to build such an absurdity with public money. One can even assume that as a result, this hypothetical poor designer was again hypothetically arrested and soon shot for senseless waste of public funds on an especially large scale.

The prototype of the aircraft was taken from the 1932 design of the super-heavy K7 bomber designed by K.A. Kalinina. K7 was built in a single copy, which crashed during testing. The presented model has dimensions that are 2.5 times larger than the prototype and has co-scale parts corresponding to the new dimensions.

The selection includes a passenger version with glazed wing cabins, as well as military versions with a large number of heavy machine guns and dynamo-rocket guns without recoil.
