The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (Russian: крылья танка meaning tank wings) was a Soviet attempt to allow a tank to glide onto a battlefield after being towed aloft by an airplane to support airborne forces or partisans. A prototype was built and tested in 1942 but was found to be unworkable. This vehicle is sometimes called the A-40T or KT.
