The Beriev Be-10, or M-10 (NATO reporting name: "Mallow") was built by the Soviet Beriev Aircraft Company in 1961. It was a jet-engined flying boat patrol bomber of all-metal construction with the engines located beneath the wing roots and splayed-out tailpipes. The deeply streamlined hull was fitted with a small, single-step sea rudder under the air rudder. Spray fences on either side of the bows protected the engine from water intake. 50° swept wings had a marked dihedral angle, with balanced floats attached by short pylons on the very wingtips.
The first public appearance took place when four Be-10s flew over Tushino in 1961, giving the impression that the Be-10 was already in service. However, Beriev was also developing the turboprop-powered Be-12, which was ultimately preferred. The Be-12 was easier to operate and had better endurance, and only a few Be-10s were built.
