Flying boat MDR-6 (Che-2). So say the historians of aviation, Soviet flying boat MDR-6 design Igor V. Chetverikova was one of the most elegant production of the Soviet seaplanes. Its clean aerodynamic shape and streamlined contours of the fuselage talked about the desire of the designer to create an aircraft that combines high speed and greater range. In fact, when creating the MDR-6 was used the experience of the most advanced aviation companies, created flying boats in the mid 30-ies of the last century. Elegant aircraft has left an appreciable trace in the history of Soviet Russia, and the threat of war and, consequently, the growing need to land the aircraft did not allow him to become the most massive flying boat of the Soviet Navy.
THE MOST ELEGANT
Gorky automobile plant in the postwar period in addition to building trucks. middle class car “Victory”, and then “Volga” was produced and Executive cars, the first of which was the six-GAZ-12 ZIM (full name of the factory in the time — Gorkovskii automobile plant named after Molotov) release 1950. Car the item is constantly improving, to replace the Winter came “the Seagull” — first GAS-13, and then the GAZ-14. The last modification can be considered as the best Executive car Gas. The car GAZ-14 “Chaika” release of 1977 was designed according to the scheme “sedan”, that is, without internal partitions in the interior, which in limousines separates the passenger compartment from the cabin of the driver. The car had three rows of seats, with two seats in the second row were folding.
In early 70-ies of XX century views on the use of surface naval forces has changed significantly. In the West, only one country — the United States continued to rely on shock aircraft carrier connections. The European partners of the Americans within NATO to follow the example of Washington did not make sense: first, it was unaffordable, and secondly, their doctrine assumed that the main theatre of war the third world war will be the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic. under the guise of coastal aviation.
The collapse of the colonial system after world war II and the emergence on the map of many independent States initially did not affect the balance of power in the oceans. “Microscopic” fleets of new countries of Asia and Africa were equipped with mostly antiquated vessel, shipped from the US, Britain and Soviet Union under military assistance programmes. No need to develop special export projects warships during the first two postwar decades was not felt.
The first production models of this vehicle was delivered to army units in September 1985. The machine incorporates the most advanced technical and technological solutions of its time and represented a successful synthesis of freight Rover SUV and a sports car.
The rebirth of experienced design Bureau, which was headed by the famous Soviet aircraft designer Pavel Osipovich Sukhoy, occurred in 1953. The new experimental design Bureau had to engage in the process of creating a jet aircraft, catching up with gone far OKB Yakovlev, A. Mikoyan, Ilyushin and Tupolev. And in 1955, flew up in the air single front-line fighter su-7 turbojet engine AL-7F, marked the beginning of a large range of modifications and became the first production supersonic aircraft General designer and his design.
Family car SKODA OCTAVIA Combi 2004 the SKODA, occasionally arriving in the Soviet Union in the second half minuvshey century of fraternal Czechoslovakia, produced for domestic motorists that time more of an impression than the current one, the most extravagant cars of the inhabitants of the modern Russia. This is no accident: because the automotive plant of Enterprises of heavy engineering Skoda remained, but the opinion of experts of world car industry, almost the only of the socialist camp, who managed to keep their technical and design individuality, developed over almost half a century pre-war activities.
Still there was the Great Patriotic war, the designers of the Gorky automobile plant began work on a new car that had to produce in peacetime. The design of the machine, which later became known as the GAZ-M20, began in February 1943 and in November 1944 was ready the first prototypes.
If to speak about laws of development of the escort forces of the main sea powers in 1940-ies, the first thing that catches the eye of ever-increasing size of ships. This trend continued during the cold war. In the vast oceans required the hull, allows you to accommodate not only solid fuel but also of appropriate weapons, numerous electronics and gidroakustiki, which led to an increase in displacement and cost of construction. The once-popular corvettes, leading descended from small fishing boats, seemingly forever disappeared from the scene.
In the 60-ies of XX century the concept of the IUD in the hypothetical third world war Soviet and Western experts met in completely different ways. For example, admirals from the Pentagon, the main force of the fleet was considered a carrier group, and numerous surface ships of other classes one way or another was considered only as a means of carriers, protection. In the USSR before the surface fleet posed a few other problems — primarily to fight aircraft carrier connections, as well as enemy nuclear submarines near its shores.
