The empennage/tail assembly is also long and features a large cruciform tail, together with a small protruding section on the roots of the horizontal stabilizers. Directly below the wings, there are dual intakes on the front and four black turbines on the back, which are identical in shape to the main turbine of the Hydra. The main section features large angular wings with black connectors, hinting an apparent variable-sweep wing mechanism (though it is always fixed in a low-speed configuration and there is no functionality on it either). ![]() The Alkonost features a large fuselage with a sharp nose, a large cockpit and an access door ladder on the left, in a similar manner to aircraft such as the RM-10 Bombushka and the Volatol. The RO-86 Alkonost appears to be a fusion between the Russian Tupolev Tu-160 and the American Rockwell B-1 Lancer, sharing the large profile and features from the former, but featuring a tail shape similar to the latter, especially the area right above the horizontal stabilator.
