Scale model GAZ-M20 Pobeda Snowmobile conversion

In the 50s, the GAZ-M20 Pobeda was turned into the original aerosled.
The GAZ-M20 Pobeda model range was quite wide and even included a convertible and an all-wheel drive version. But few people know that the Sever-2 aerosled was created on the basis of Pobeda in 1959.
The development of aerosleds was carried out by the Kamov Design Bureau, known for its helicopters. The body of the GAZ-M20 was put on skis, and instead of the standard engine, an AI-14 aircraft engine with a propeller appeared at the rear. It developed 260 hp and allowed it to accelerate to 50 km/h.

The Sever-2 was originally created for the transportation of mail and small cargoes with a total weight of up to 500 kg. They were operated in Siberia, Kazakhstan and the Far East, and the average mileage of one car was 12-15 thousand km per year.

Some Pobeda aerosans were used as a comfortable vehicle for trips of the top leadership of the northern regions of the USSR
