The Tupolev A-3 Aerosledge is an all-metal amphibious aerosledge designed to carry passengers and light freight in remote areas of the Soviet Union. Officially known as the A-3 Hope, or Nadezhda in Russian, it is driven over snow or water by a single pusher propeller mounted behind the enclosed cabin. A prototype was built in 1961 and the A-3 entered production in 1964. A 1978 example, registered N007 and possibly the only one imported into the United States, was upgraded with a 9-cylinder Vedeneyev M14P engine, and it was sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale in 2015 for 220,000 dollars and again in 2020 for 143,000 dollars.
