Universal multipurpose coaxial helicopter Ka-226 can be used in the transport, medical, agricultural and patrol variants. The multiplicity of application is provided not by modifying the model, and directly to the same specific machine — a large set of easy-to-assemble equipment installed on the fuselage of the machine, which acts as a universal base.
The first flight of the new military troop transport helicopter, which later received the name Mi-24, was held on 15 September 1969, and in 1970, began its mass production. In the military machine became available in 1973. In the 70-ies of the Mi-24 was the fastest helicopter in the world — on one of its options was an absolute record of speed of 367 km/h.
When in 1947 the head of the laboratory helicopteros Department of TSAGI Mikhail mil proposed for consideration of the interdepartmental Commission on development of the helicopter in the USSR, his project single-rotor helicopter GM-1, the Commission’s decision was clear: to instruct the M. L. Mile the development of the said helicopter with special education KB. And on December 12 of the same year the USSR Council of Ministers issued the corresponding decree on creation of OKB’s helikopterservice; its chief designer was appointed M. L. Miles.
Carrier-based fighter Goodyear F2G SUPER CORSAIR. In early 1943, Japan had already lost the initiative in the war in the Pacific. One reason for this was the lack of combat aircraft and trained pilots To counter the growing military power of the US Navy, the Japanese organized a network of specialized air units with pilots and suicide bombers that are combat aircraft carried out the ramming attack American ships. Later these pilots were called kamikaze (translated from the Japanese — the wind of the gods) — by name “Kamikaze Tokubetsu kogekitai” that was worn by one of these groups.
His first flight of the day anti-tank helicopter the Ka-50 made in 1982. When designing the machine was seen as an alternative to the American helicopter Ah-64 “Apache”, and the testing process successfully passed the contest in which his opponent was an attack helicopter Mi-28.
An experimental model of anti-tank combat helicopter Mi-28 first flew on 10 November 1982. Was built four prototype — they completed the full cycle of state tests.
In the first decade of the nineteenth century, the airplane had only just learned to fly. And the brave pilots of those years sought to master it so that you can explore the air travel. Among the many different aircraft types stood out one that is the best flying and best of all was controlled in flight. It was a plane-monoplane “blériot XI”. Few people know that the birth of this remarkable aviation history, the aircraft shall flying models.
Fighter biplane Hawker FURY. The first third of the century of aviation, leading the countdown from the flight of the Wright brothers in 1903, can be called the era of biplanes. Most of the Diptera of the devices looked like, now look, this is awkward; much more rarely met biplanes elegant, with clean aerodynamic shape. Typically, these machines have left an appreciable trace in the history of world aviation, differing not only beauty, but also the best performance characteristics.
Flying boat POTEZ 452. In the early 1930-ies of the French aviation firm Aeroplanes Henri Potez (“Aeroplanes Henri Poteza”) built a small flying boat Potez 452, which has become one of the most interesting and yet little-known seaplane naval aviation of France. Small series, consisting of 16 aircraft of this type, left quite a significant mark in aviation history: these cars had a chance to fly over virtually all continents, and in the battle line, they remained until 1944.
