Molniya Triplane Aircraft . At present NPO MOLNIYA is working not only in the space field but also on aircraft engineering. ... Considering this NPO MOLNIYA has chosen a "triplane" aerodynamic scheme stipulating in comparison with traditional schemes the essential increase of flying safety and fuel economy of its aircraft. The triplanes have advantages of canard and classical schemes, but are free from their faults. ... Molniya-1 . ... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . ...
