Tupolev OOS
The Tupolev OOS was a Soviet concept for an air-launched, single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane. The orbiter's carrier aircraft, the Antonov AKS, was to have been built from two conjoined Antonov An-225 airframes. The launch system was proposed in the late 1980s, but never developed past the design stage.[1][2]
