Looking for a crazy aircraft

[Skyviper]

Does anyone remember a show that used to be featured on either Discovery or History channel that talked about the crazy inventions that were developed during WW2? What was the Soviet plane that could be submerged underwater? They never went with full production because the plane could be picked off by submarines easily. I just remember it had that ability to sneak past defenses and then pop up somewhere and take off.

You're awesome thank you so much!

@Wrench

That's it! That's the show I remember seeing back in the day when History Channel talked about history.

 

I was talking to someone about this aircraft and they thought I was yanking their chain. I must've searching for the wrong thing but I knew the folks here would have the answer. So thank you both. I loved watching that show back in the day and seeing all of the neat things they came up with. Now today I'm sure it would be how aliens influenced their technological development.
