Back Bratukhin B-10
1947

Bratukhin B-10

Also designated VNP (Vozdushni Nabludatyelnii Punkt - aerial observation point), this could have been AK-2 because its original role was to replace the AK in artillery spotting. In fact by this time the basic Bratukhin helicopter had become rather larger and potentially more capable and VNP was to be a multi-role machine able to fly recon, tactical supply and even casevac missions. Engines fully boosted AI-26 version, and dynamic parts essentially same as B-9. Wings of same plan and section as B-9 but with pair of bracing struts from bottom of two main-spar frames in fuselage to spar booms at 60% semi-span, and two further bracing struts from upper spar booms at same location to top of rotor masts. Fuselage entirely new: dural monocoque with glazed nose seating pilot on left and navigator on right under large observation dome; observer in tail again with large observation dome. New tail with variable-incidence tailplane mounted on fuselage carrying endplate fins(latter possibly rudders but not described as such in literature). Usual four-wheel landing gear. Central fuselage available for additional loads: three passengers, or two stretchers (room for more but weight-limited) or 200kg cargo or various radio or photographic equipment. Entrance door on left.

Single example built and flown 1947. Behaviour satisfactory, and complete performance measurements taken. Later fitted ShKAS at nose and tail. According to Shavrov 1947-48 saw general disillusionment with helicopters and especially with twin lateral rotor configuration.

Bratukhin B-10

This was another attempt by I.P.Bratukhin to build helicopter for some practical application above technology demonstration. It had side-by-side cockpit for pilot and navigator, and observer cockpit behind the wing. The rest of fuselage could be used to carry 2-3 passengers and/or photo.

Above the cockpit unarmed spherical turret was installed (for demonstration, I guess).

There was an option to make main gear retractable backwards.

At the time on the 'decision-making level' attention was shifted to competing schemes of helicopters (under influence of Western designs). Despite B-10 was performing well, it failed to catch any interest in the 'High Circles'.

I had a BK-7 on my TransUnion report. The date is incorrect. It shows from 2016 but BK was in 2012. I also had 60 days late on a car loan from 2019, no collection and charge off Citi bank from 2019 paid. Started rebuilding December 2021 with 522 FICO 8 but none of the strategies worked. I have to look for a credit repair company which my colleague at work recommended to me as a PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to me. I believed her because I knew she was having a bad credit score but that day she showed me her credit score was above 800+ I contacted them immediately to be honest I was not disappointed. Within 6 days PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST wiped out all baddies on my credit report and increased my FICO SCORE to 811 I'm so EXCITED for what they did for me on my credit report.

I can testify to a great service from PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST about credit repair. I had some inquiries, 2 late payments and my collection. I also had bankruptcy that came off in December with a low credit score of 561.  Even disputed it with Peter from Clerk but to no avail. I was in a terrible situation that I needed to repair my credit. I came across this great credit specialist called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on this forum, with so many amazing reviews. I contacted them but I never believed them until they proved me wrong, by removing all late payments, inquiries and collection from my credit report, I also increased my credit score to 811 excellent standards. I now have a clean credit report. Contact him now for help: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

Initially I had a SCORE of 490 with late payments and lingering debts that would not let me qualify for anything. Then I came across an AD on Reddit about Gearheadpanacea.com and I contacted them. After 2 weeks they completed working on my score and it amazingly became 820 with my CC debts cleared. I am So happy right now because i can now finance a new home. if you have a bad credit You can Contact them on Gearheadcyberpanacea AT gmail DOT com.

My credit score was stagnant at around 560 for TU, EX and EQ. Currently, I was waiting for my charge off and late payment to fall off. My credit goal is 780, which is 220 points from where I was. I was wondering if it was possible to increase my score by 220 points because of the late payments and charge off on my credit report. Until a friend directed me to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, I tell you I didn't regret adhering to that advice to repair my credit. I'm better now and my credit score is 800s across board and all late payment and charge off has been removed permanently from my credit report.

I needed to repair my credit quickly. My divorce is final and debt was in my name. I was ordered to pay off the bills since the bills were in my name. So I had about $35K in unpaid credit card debt, I became confused and worried. I don't know where to start, but I only have 6 months to refinance my car and 1 year to refinance my house. I began searching for help over the internet on how to fix my credit. So I saw PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST reviews all over the internet and like wow who's this guy. I decided to take the risk even when I was still afraid. It's good to take risks sometimes. I've realized that people who do exploits are people who take risks. I contacted this guy and he explained to me everything about credit repair and how it works. I got excited. I learnt a lot from him. He increased my credit score to 811 (TransUnion) 809 (Equifax) 805 (Experian). He also removed all negative items and credit card debt from my credit report. I was able to apply for a new credit card with a higher limit which has been approved. All this happened so quickly within 6 days. All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. You can get them on: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM I sincerely recommend them.

I wanted to purchase a car months ago, but I wasn't approved for a loan, I needed a score of at least 700 to be approved for the loan, but my score was at 481. I had many hard inquiries, charge-off , unpaid debts and an eviction. I contacted this life saver DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION they helped me wipe all the negative items and raised my score to 808. It's been 2 weeks now and nothing is coming back. Text them at DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM

After my marriage 3 months ago, I applied for a home loan, so that I and my wife could move to a better apartment, but I got a negative reply, which I was told was as a result of my credit score. When I pulled my score it was below average. I had $15,000 student loan, some credit card debt, charge-off and an eviction. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION helped me erase all the above negative reports and boosted my score to excellent in less than 7 days. I'm recommending them to any person in need of credit assistance.
