The student design Bureau of our universities and colleges had a lot of interesting technical innovations. Most of them are audacious alloy of thought and rigorous scientific analysis. As well as some new alloys in the industry, they have amazing properties and thus to their appearance refute everything that was said about this earlier — for example, “cannot”, “will”, “not Mature enough” and “not ready”.
Standing on the armies of NATO, after its establishment, main battle tanks M48 and M-60 though possessing taktikalise characteristics that are consistent with the requirements imposed on them, but were not able to fully resist the new Soviet tanks of the first post-war generation of T-54, T-55, T-62 and it-1.
In 2002 the famous Russian jeep “Niva” was 25 years old. The model VAZ-2121 became the first independent development of the Volga automobile plant. The design Department under the leadership of Vladimir Solovyov in a comparatively short time was able to design, test and bring to production the first domestic mass all-wheel drive passenger car.
The history of Scientific automotive Institute (NAMI) as head of the state organization is traditionally measured from October 16, 1918, when on the basis of the automotive laboratory of the Moscow technical school was established Scientific automobile laboratory(NAL) scientific and technical Department of the Supreme economic Council. March 14, 1920, the CASH was reorganized into the Institute of US.
The British car firm Morgan is one of the oldest in the world, 1909 to the present time it belongs to the Morgan family traditionally passes from father to son. The company is known for variety and mass models, on the contrary, the last 66 years, the firm has actually released only two car models — MORGAN 4/4 and MORGAN PLUS 8. Both weren’t out on the conveyor, and manually, by the classical technology of the beginning of the previous century on the steel frame, with front “candlestick” suspension, spring suspension rear axle and trim body sheet metal on a wooden frame.
Fighter-bomber CURTISS BF2C-1. The main suppliers of single carrier-based fighter for the U.S. Navy until December of 1932 was the company of Curtiss and Boeing. At first, when the Navy had only one aircraft carrier “Langley” and only two fighter squadrons of carrier-based aircraft, between these firms, there was little competition. Military aircraft bought in small quantities from the other, trying to equally support both an alternative source.
The superiority of the American fleet at sea after the Second world war was so undisputed that the creation of new warships, with the exception of aircraft carriers for the United States look out of date. Even with the advent of the only potential rival — the Soviet Union — high-speed submarines (first new diesel and then nuclear) not only changed the situation. At the disposal of the American admirals had bend pretty new destroyers, which were redirected to the new challenges. One of the most ambitious in the history of fleet upgrades — FRAM (Fleet Rehabilitation And Modernisation programme restoration and modernisation of the fleet) the ships of the PLO became more than 130 destroyers “Fletcher”, “Gearing” and “Allen M. Sumner” (see “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 8 in 2002). Updated the ships it provided the needs of the escort and anti-submarine service in the decade ahead.
This famous French company was founded in 1909 talented avtostroitelei and organizer Ettore Bugatti. The first independent development of the newborn company became the vehicle of model “13” — twin passenger car with four-cylinder engine working volume of 1,327 L. in Parallel, the firm has developed a compact car BUGATT116, which became the prototype for the famous PEUGEOT BEBE. Until 1914 — the outbreak of the First world war, Bugatti has released a number of cars, which stood powerful 19 ROLAND GAROS with a 5-liter engine capacity of 100 HP
Israeli fighter “Kfir”. In 1967 the French President Charles de Gaulle banned the supply of arms to Israel. This decision was a response to the Israeli attack on the neighboring Arab countries, which is known as the “six day war”. Under the ban got the 50 “Mirage” M5J. Desire to obtain their aircraft, in spite of bans, prompted the Israelis to search the other way. In the same year representatives of the company IAI (Israel Aircraft Industries – Israel Aircraft Industry) began negotiating with Dassault on the issue of licensed production of the fifth “Mirage”. A sudden obstacle in the form of an embargo, President de Gaulle, in calculation were not accepted. Representatives of Dassault, believed that this prohibition applies only to state enterprises. In late 1967 negotiations successfully ended with the signing of the contract. Thus, the Israelis have at their disposal all the necessary documentation and paper-modern technology. But it was only a glider, though with all systems, and it lacked the main engine.
Dedicated to the memory of General designer Mikhail Kuzmich Yangelya. In issue No. 7 of 2000 published an article “the workhorse of the launch sites” dedicated booster light class — “Kosmos-3M”. It’s time to tell the readers more about the earlier work (now quite forgotten), the famous Dnepropetrovsk CB “South”— the first Russian carrier rocket light class that took indexes 63С1 and 11К63 and an open name “Kosmos-2”. In this article the author talks about the rocket when it is presented the detailed drawing, executed on full-scale model, on display in the National aerospace education center of Ukraine in Dnepropetrovsk.
