The development of military transport aircraft (MTC) An-70 intended to replace the An-12, began in 1986 After seven years of tactical and technical requirements specified, wherein, based on the need to transport a medium tank, the maximum capacity of the machine increased up to 47 T. the Peculiarity of the aircraft were four gas-turbine engine with coaxial propeller-fans and fly-by-wire control system In aircraft design is widely used composite materials. The first flight of the An-70 took place on 16 December 1994 10 February 1995 and the plane crashed. To continue testing built a second model, testing and refinement which is ongoing.
The an-70
As a rule, such date if marks any event, it is certainly not prosperous. But with the first British jet bomber “Canberra” the opposite happened: it was Friday, may 13, 1949 he made the first flight, and more than half a century faithfully served on different continents. Here and believe after that in signs!
Initial training aircraft Yak-18 was based on UT-2. Its first flight took place on may 6, 1946 (test pilot G. S. Klimushkin), and the second, with the more powerful M-11FR — may 17, 1946, According to the results of state tests, the car was adopted, and in 1947 he launched into serial production in plants: № 272 in Leningrad, No. 135 in Kharkov and # 116 at Arsenyev.
In 2002, the air force developed tactical and technical requirements for the modernization of the Yak-52 training-Yak-52M for professional screening and initial flying training of future military pilots and pilots-sportsmen. Modernized Yak-52M distinguished with its new wing, which provides a guaranteed and safe stall the nose; the fuel tanks-caissons of the increased capacity of modern radio communication and navigation equipment, allowing to operate day and night in different weather conditions.
The first post-war years in OKB G. M. Beriev was created long-range Maritime reconnaissance flying boat Be-6 — undoubtedly, staged the aircraft for the Russian naval aviation. For a starting point in the history of the be-6 should adopt the August of 1942, when G. M. Beriev sent to the people’s Commissariat of aviation industry explanatory note to “the Conceptual design of a sea scout open sea MDR-10”. Proposed heavy (weighing up to 22 000 kg) twin-engine flying boat with a wing type gull, two-keel plumage, a long range and powerful armament.
In 1946, first flew double an educational-training plane Yak-11, created on the basis of the Yak-3, but with motor air-cooling, ASH-21. Its armament consisted of a synchronous UBS machine gun of 12.7 mm caliber and two 50-kg bombs In 1955 at the request of Czechoslovakia in OKB A. S. Yakovlev developed the under the gun A-12,7. In 1951 appeared the Yak-11 with the nose landing gear and the training Yak-11T with the equipment of a fighter. In Czechoslovakia built a small series of machines under the designation C-11U.
Amphibian Be-8 has completed the collection of seaplanes, which began in 1941 scout KOR-2 (be-4). Despite the relatively high assessment from specialists, Be-8 for a number of reasons, mass production has not been, and was used mostly as a flying laboratory. Work on the be-8 began in 1946 on the basis of the technical project of the ship’s scout LL-145 with the start of ejection. As a prototype, a new amphibious aircraft was a flying boat of all-metal construction, made on a parasol. Wing, who were technologically on the center section and two detachable parts, were recruited from the profiles of WT-230. On its consoles housed fixed landing gear floats lateral stability, and on the back edge landing flaps, uklonivshiesya on take-off 15° landing 40°. In the wings were the fuel tanks.
Operation of the first single-seat Ka-8 and Ka-10, created in OKB N. And. Kamov, showed obvious advantages of coaxial-rotor. Along with the compact that was excellent handling and maneuverability, the ability to make takeoffs and landings in difficult conditions, which has opened up opportunities for the use of helicopters of this type.
At any exhibition there are always centers of attraction of attention of visitors. There was a and in the Central exhibition NTTM-87: it was — as, indeed, in all previous aviation section of the exhibition. This is no coincidence: today, in many parts of the country, the young enthusiasts of technical creativity to build a homemade aircraft. They closely follow the latest developments not only Amateur ultralight aircraft, but the cruise technology, which is created in the famous design Bureau. As, for example, became the favorite of heaven acrobatics at the last European Championships and the world aerobatic su-26M, one of the most
