Double training aircraft (TCB) L-39 the company’s “Aero Vodochody” in the Czech Republic was established in 1968. In the USSR, since 1973, has delivered over 2,000 aircraft of this type. The aircraft equipped with turbojet engine AI-25V, made its first flight on 4 November of the same year. Serial L-39S since 1974 has set the engines AI-25TL 1720 kg thrust. The external distinguishing feature of the aircraft are fuel tanks located at the wing tips. The aircraft is designed for initial training of cadets the technique of piloting in simple and complex weather conditions, day and night, as well as for training of flight personnel. The pilots arranged one behind the other: trainee in the front cockpit, instructor in the rear.

Sixty years have passed since then, as removed from service legendary fighter I-16. For over half a century don’t fly “flying tank” Il-2. But how do you want to see them in the sky! In fact in our days and fly “donkeys” and their peers — “the Seagull”. Only not here, but in other countries, although they are made by our Russian restorers. For foreign customers prepare flying Il-2, MiG-3, U-2.
The Yak-130 is designed for replacement of the main UTS of the Russian air force L-39. First flight on a double Yak-130D (“Demonstrator”) with two engines RD-35 took place on 25 April 1996. In the production of Yak-130 established new engines AI-222-25 with a thrust of 2500 kg and designed and implemented a fully digital “Board”. The Yak-130 is equipped with an integrated digital-wire control system allowing, for training purposes, to change its characteristics of stability and controllability, depending on the type of the simulated aircraft.
In October 1962, during the armed conflict with China, Indian troops were surrounded. At the end was ammunition and food. It seemed a few days — and the Indians suffer a great defeat. However, this did not happen, to help the troops came air truck An-12, recently mastered the Indian pilots. Thus occurred the first baptism of one of the most famous Soviet military cargo planes.
Latest military aircraft, developed in OKB Mikoyan. Developed on a competitive basis with the Yak-130. Designed to prepare pilots for the fighters of the fourth generation type MiG-29 and su-27. The first flight in the MiG-at with two French engine “Larzac” thrust of 1440 kgf was held in March 1996
The main aircraft for training pilots in the great Patriotic war was the U-2 (Po-2) and produce the resource UTI-4. Double export fighter I-7B, Yak-9 and La-7UTI in flight schools were a rarity — they didn’t even spare regiments, and training pilots on them was expensive. In this regard, in the war years in OKB-115, led by C. A. Yakovlev, began the future development of the Yak-18, which replaced the At-2 as a “school” pilots. However, future air fighters needed the aircraft for training their shooting at air targets and bombing.
Light military transport aircraft An-26 carrying capacity 5600 kg created on the basis of the cargo of the An-24T. In contrast to the predecessor, the An-26 has a new tail section with the cargo door closed with a ramp that also serves as a ramp to load equipment. The aircraft have strengthened the wing, in addition to the two TMD AI-24VT power 2820 E. L. S. has installed a jet engine RU19-300 takeoff thrust 900 kgf and new wheels.
From the first domestic aircraft vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) Yak-36 did not work fighting vehicle, primarily due to insufficient thrust of the engines. Complicated was and longitudinal balance of the aircraft in hover and transition to horizontal flight (and Vice versa). The emergence of a more powerful turbojet in the near future was not expected. The way out of the situation found the group of designers headed by S. G. Mordovin has.
Fighter-interceptor, the Mirage IIIC. In 1953, the French air force announced a competition to create a light supersonic fighter-interceptor. Virtually all aircraft manufacturers and enterprises of France took part in it. Southeast Association – Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Sud-Est (SNCASE) built fighter-a tailless “durandal” with a triangular wing. The power plant consisted of a turbojet Atar 101F with a thrust of 3,400 lbs and a SEPR rocket engine with a thrust of 825 kg. southwest – Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Sud-Ouest (SNCASO), has proposed an unusual Orthoptera car SO.9000 “Trident”, with two turbojet engines of Turbomeca “Marbore” II with a thrust of 400 kg each and three-chambered SEPR rocket engine with a thrust of 3750 kg.
The aircraft short takeoff and landing An-72 was created to solve special military problems. To increase the lift coefficient of the wing engines located on its upper surface. However, their gas jets blown part of the airfoil and flaps, using the Coanda effect. An-72 is equipped with two turbofan engines D-36 takeoff thrust of 6500 kgf.
