The CANBERRA bomber is an all-metal monoplane with a mid-wing and single-fin tail. The fuselage — semi-monocoque circular cross-section, consists of three parts: fore, middle (with the attachment of the center section and bomb Bay) and tail. The fuselage skin riveted “wpoty”. Sealed cockpit and Navigator situated in the nose of the fuselage. Cabin pressure is automatically controlled; the temperature sets the pilot.

The first Japanese aircraft attacked on 7 December 1941 the American naval base at pearl Harbor and dropped bombs on it, was a compact carrier-based bomber, AICHI D3A. My first flight with a 710-horsepower radial engine Nakajima “Hikari 1” was made in January 1938. According to test results was increased the wing and a more powerful 1000-horsepower radial engine Mitsubishi “, kinsei 43”.
Aviation and missile firm North American (USA) has been building aircraft since 1934. During the Second world war, the firm produced about 42 700 aircraft, among which were such well-known cars like a fighter P-51 and b-25.
Scout-bomber P-Z. Created in the late 20-ies of the last century, the Soviet biplane R-5 construction.N. Polikarpov for several years was a classic type of reconnaissance aircraft. In the international aviation contest in 1930 in Tehran, which was attended by the best companies of England, France and Holland, our air reconnaissance took first place.
Boeing Vertol Company was founded in August 1940 by F. PIASECKI, who became the chief designer and Chairman of the Board of the company. During her activities released more than 2,500 aircraft twin-screw longitudinal schema. The first helicopter of the company PV-1 single-rotor design was built in 1943. The first twin-screw PV-3 (prototype of future HRP-1 and H-21), designed by request of the U.S. Navy, took to the air in March 1945.
In January 1938, the aircraft designer S. V. Ilyushin, who worked at that time chief of the experimental aircraft of the people’s Commissariat of defence, appealed to the government with a proposal to create a designed “flying tank” — double armored attack.
The German aircraft manufacturer Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerke GmBH was founded in 1922 by E. Heinkel. Its activities started with the design and construction of military hydroaeroplanes, and record-breaking sports aircraft. In 1935, the firm released who later became widely known fighter biplane Not 51 and became famous in the Second world war twin-engine bomber, Not 111. In 1936, took off the float torpedo Not 115.
This is the first-born of the joint helicopter program of Germany and Japan. Serial production of VK-117 deployed in 1982.
Soviet istrebitel-polutoraplan-15. In the early 30-ies of the last century in accordance with the existing at that period, the concept involving joint use maneuverable fighter biplanes and high-speed fighter-monoplanes, the Soviet Union developed several new aircraft, various aerodynamic schemes. Known aircraft designer N. Polikarpov, who achieved considerable success in the creation of a fighter-biplane (in particular, step I-5), was commissioned by the beginning of 1933 to create a fighter-biplane I-13 mixed design. However, in the process of working on this machine revealed that the traditional concept of the fighter has no prospects. Work And 13 closed, and the design team of No. 3, together with the head of it.Polikarpov connected to the development of all-metal fighter-monoplane I-14 design Sukhoi.
The first flight of the new helicopter, designated V-65, was held in October 1964. This car was designed as a replacement for the aging transport helicopters amphibious S-61 in marine corps of the United States. S-65 had the floats and it can be loaded through the rear hatch even afloat.
