Pikirayi bomber SBD DAUNTLESS. In 1934, the US Navy announced a competition for the creation of new carrier-based dive bomber, according to the American classification — scout-bombarde-Rossica (scout bomber). The main requirement for a new aircraft — a significant increase in speed compared to BOM-Bardi rustami predecessors. Bomb load was to be placed under the fuselage on a special suspension unit with a catapult device, which provided a safe separation of cargo at high speeds during the dive. The fleet was ready to consider any proposal, regardless of the aerodynamic configuration and other characteristics of the aircraft.
THE WAR CAUGHT THEM IN THE AIR
In Italy, the design and manufacture of helicopters is concentrated mainly in the company Agusta (Construzione Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta SpA), located in Gallart in the North of the country. In 50-ies of the last century Agusta started the licensed production of helicopters, American firms Bell, Boeing Vertol co and Sikorsry Aircraft.
Aerospatiale SNI, a leading helicopter firm France — was formed in 1970 with the merger of several companies. The development of the helicopter AS-332 SUPER PUMA was launched in 1974 on the basis of the AS-330 PUMA. The first flight of the new machine made in September 1978, and its serial production began in February 1980. The helicopter was produced in civil and military versions.
In 1959, the English firm Wesland received a license for the construction of helicopter S-61 design I. Sikorsky, which was later created in several versions. One of them was designed for the British Royal Navy anti-submarine helicopter SEA KING HAS.Mk.1. Equipped with British engines and equipment intended for independently, without communication with the ship-based search and destruction of submarines. Carrier-based variant of the SEA KING HAS.Mk.1 equipped with a folding tail fairing to facilitate placement on the ships.
The Wilga is Polish “Ivolga”. Indeed, this iisna white-winged machine with widely spread wings and forward, powerful paws-chassis resembles a bird, aimed ia a rapid breakthrough. A “character” at the “Wilga” is acknowledged by all who flew it, — the peace. As, however, and her lesson. “Wilga” — light aircraft, which is widely used for various purposes in the Polish CAF.
Light multipurpose helicopter BK-117 — the first joint development between the companies of Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany. Since the end of 1981, the helicopter passed the certification tests, and in 1982 was put into production. Rotary-wing machine is easy operation and high reliability.
Double training aircraft “model 51″ the firm”, Temko aircraft Corporation” developed in 1955 in the framework of the competition announced the U.S. air force on the creation of training aircraft. “Model 51”, called TT-1 “Pinto”, lost the contest plane “Cessna T-37”. TT-1 made its first flight in 1956, after which the prototype was sent to the Aviation test centre of the Navy (PATS), where was evaluated in comparison with the “beach Mod” 73 jet Mentor. In the period from 1955 to 1957, was built 14 aircraft TT-1 “Pinto”.
Development of combat training aircraft “Pampa” began in 1979, the Design was made on the basis of the aircraft “alpha jet”, with the involvement of the company “Dornier”. In 1981 began construction of three prototypes and two airframes for static tests. The first prototype, named EX-01, first flew in October 1987 it was Planned to produce 300 aircraft: 100 for the Argentine air force and 200 for export. But in the end, to the end of 1990 produced a total of 55 cars.
Supersonic B-58 was created by the firm “Konver” as a replacement for the b-47. The first flight took place on 11 November 1956. Six weeks later, on 30 December 1956, the new car has exceeded the speed of sound, and after six months -29 June 1957 – Hasler made the first flight with the speed, twice the sound (M=2,03 at an altitude of about 13 km). 1 August 1960 to the customer was delivered the first production aircraft.
Immediately after his return from Moscow to Koktebel in the fall of 1929 Sergei asked me to do a new airframe for aerobatics, — says the aircraft designer S. N. The lyushin.— There were many reasons that prevented me to take this job, and he began to design what later became SC-3 — “Krasnaya Zvezda”. Her design, very original, still lay in the framework of a familiar and accepted. Tasks that has set itself the S. P. Korolev was much more complicated. Here is how he talks about them:
