A passenger plane Be-30 was created at a difficult time for headed by Gurbanguly Believin design office time. The euphoria associated with the development of rocket technology led to the fact that the main customer in the face of the Ministry of defence has sharply reduced the development of new aviation technology in General and seaplanes in particular. The staff of the Taganrog machine-building plant (that then became known as OKB G. M. Beriev) had to look for the use of their forces and to try myself in new areas. It was decided to participate in the creation of machines to replace the mass, but by that time, already obsolete aircraft of local airlines An-2. This plane (the future of An-28) has also began to design at OKB O. K. Antonov.
In the summer of 1932 on the initiative of H. H. Polikarpov, who worked at the Central design Bureau began development of a promising fighter-monoplane with retractable landing gear. In may next year, the BBC confirmed their interest in the car and gave Polikarpov for the task. Six months later, the client approved the layout of the aircraft, designated the TSKB-12, and in the same month, the Council of labor and defense (STO) of the USSR adopted a decision on starting the machine received the designation I-16, in serial production.
This slogan was the basis of the life and work of one of the founders of Russian space engineer Friedrich Arturovich Tsander, who developed the 20-ies of the last century one of the first projects of the spacecraft for flight to Mars. However, he was not only a dreamer — in the early 30-ies took an active part in the development of the first domestic liquid-propellant rocket engines and rockets in the famous gird.
(Bomber-torpedo bomber Nakajima B5N). The first mention of the Japanese torpedo bombers appeared almost a hundred years ago – in April 1916, when at an aircraft factory Naval Arsenal in Yokosuka, was designed by the first aircraft of this type. In its development, took an active part Navy Lieutenant Chikuhei Nakajima, the future head of the eponymous Japanese company. However, the domestic aircraft do not generate interest from the Navy, which chose to seek the assistance of foreign experts.
The first mention of the project landing version of the aircraft, biplane, future of the An-2 is dated 1944. Then his traces are lost and emerge a year later.
The first radical modification of passenger aircraft An-24 began its military transport version of the an-26. Today this machine is so popular that without it can not do either military or civil operators, and replace her in the next five years is not expected.
In 1987, the water came down, “LUN” the first ship of the series of combat missile-carrying wig weighing 400 tons was the Chief designer V. Kirillov was. The ship was armed with three pairs of cruise missiles 3М80 or 80M “Mosquito” (NATO designation SS-N-22 Sunburn). The second “LUN” is also laid as a missile, but the outbreak of the conversion has made adjustments, and it was planned to build as a rescue.
On the globe there are numerous plots of land that has an extensive Maritime border and a significant number of inland waters. To the greatest extent meet these criteria Canada, North Eastern United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, the Caribbean, Siberia and the far East of the Russian Federation. All these and other island territories represent the most promising market for light aircraft amphibians, especially because in most of the above countries and regions already have experience of using this technique. Today in operation there are a few thousand light seaplanes and amphibians.
In the period between the First and Second world wars, aviation was developing rapidly. After analyzing the experience of the last war, countries with long Maritime borders, much attention was paid to the development of seaplanes, for which there was no need to build expensive airports. The logical consequence of this concept was the emergence of a seaplane fighter. Many countries have conducted experiments in this direction, but Japan brought the case to the end, mass-produced gidrostroitel, and is widely used in the fighting.
An-70 medium — range cargo (operational-tactical military transport) aircraft of the new generation of short take-off and landing. Antonov an-70 intended to replace the obsolete An-12. Performed on the aerodynamic configuration vintoventilyatorny four-engine turboprop high-wing monoplane with single-finned tail and tail cargo hatch.
