The seaplane Kawanishi H6K and H8K. On the eve of the Second world war, Japan was among the few countries, which fleet was armed with large multi-engined flying boats ocean class. The need for such aircraft for Japan was conditioned by geographical position of the country and the enormous Maritime areas to which it applied.
In the development of controlled anti-aircraft weapons of Germany during the Second world war, of course, surpassed all other countries. Work in this direction started there quite early and was based on a high level in the development of German science and technology. September 1, 1942, appeared the Memorandum of the inspector General, defenses of General von Axhelm, supported by Goering, who provided the following directions:
Bomber Handley Page VICTOR. In January 1947 at a meeting Jen 163— secret of the governmental Committee the UK the decision was made to separate the development of the atomic bomb. It followed the refusal of the Americans to pass the English government materials in design and production of nuclear weapons. The plans of the Committee for the development of the first combat of the sample bomb was given five years, and by 1957 it was supposed to produce about 200 atomic bombs.
In early 1939 the Soviet government put before the Soviet aircraft the task to accelerate the creation of new samples of military equipment. Special attention was paid to the fighters. That’s why for developing them came from the leading aircraft.
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.
