They built one!

Don't worry the British were trying to invent one as well

Yes they tested it a couple of times. Problem was that the tracks fell off before it reached flying speed. And PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT - there are far more important vehicles that need doing - like M24 and M41 for 2. Also rest of the CVRT series.

"One T-60 was converted into a glider in 1942, intended to be towed by a Petlyakov Pe-8 or a Tupolev TB-3.

The tank was lightened for air use by removing its armament, ammunition and headlights, and leaving a very limited amount of fuel.

Even with the modifications, the TB-3 bomber had to ditch the glider during its only flight, on September 2, 1942, to avoid crashing, due to the T-60's extreme drag (although the tank reportedly glided smoothly).

The A-40 was piloted by the famous Soviet experimental glider pilot Sergei Anokhin. The T-60 landed in a field near the airdrome, and after dropping the glider wings and tail, the driver returned it to its base.

Due to the lack of a sufficiently-powerful aircraft to tow it at the required 160 km/h (99 mph), the project was abandoned." - Wikipedia

Hijacking the thread briefly: a Czech friend told me once that one of their passive resistance techniques in the dark days of Soviet occupation was to watch for Russian army training days, sneak out, and alter the weight limit signs on small bridges, forcing Ivan to drive fifty kilometres extra to avoid the risk of having to explain why his tank was now at the bottom of the Svratka.
The other one was for girls to dress in their most revealing clothes (which by Czech standards, bless them, means they'd be arrested for public indecency at Cap d'Agde) and parade around in front of Russian sentries who hadn't met a cooperative woman in months....
