By the mid 30-ies of the aircraft type “flying wing” was quite true to their name — they were flying. In our country, in Germany, England, Switzerland, designers and innovators to pilots and enthusiasts, have managed to raise these strange machines in the air and make them confident flights. However, while none of them fly better than the plane normal scheme. Therefore they were treated as experimental and put up with some handling shortcomings.
The Creator of light tanks. After the victorious conclusion of the great Patriotic war of the Soviet airborne connection in June 1946 he was separated from the air force and became an independent native troops subordinated directly to the Minister of defense of the USSR.
The first option trehlistnyj snowmobiles NLK-16, made in 1937, under the leadership of chief designer N. M. Andreev, produced commercially in the transport and sanitary design. The improved model of the machine, made by chetyrehstennoy scheme and the designation of NKL-16/41, released in 1940-1941. In 1942 the sleigh to a much improved version was produced under the symbol NKL-16/42. About them our story.
“Time of troubles” was the 80-ies of the XIX century for the Russian Navy in General and cruising in particular. In addition to the lungs paranapanema clippers (which was already, in essence, mostly training ships), genuine domestic development remained armored frigates of the “Dmitry Donskoy” and “Vladimir Monomakh”. However, very good for the time of laying they are with their sailing mast location and battery of artillery was somewhat aloof from the world trends in the development of cruisers and gradually became obsolete. The main sea powers one after the other tended to build armored units. Some new armored cruiser was gradually lost huge “sailing” mast with a web of cable and wires, getting in return a contemporary energy and gun installation.
After the First world war, France had the largest tank Park in the world. And the main part of it were the fighting vehicles Renault FT17— without a doubt the best tanks of the last war, which allowed them not to hurry with the creation and adoption of new models of armored vehicles. However, in 1926, he developed the first post-war concept of development of armored forces. The armament of the infantry was supposed to have three types of tanks: light, medium (or “combat”—weighing up to 20 tonnes) and heavy.
At the end 1940-x of years in several countries of Europe, a dilapidated Second world war, gradually began to recreate the automotive industry. On the streets there are inexpensive micro cars purely personal use: trehalase German “Messerschmitt” with a body that resembled the fuselage of an airplane of the same name, quadruple “Zundapp-Janus” with doors in the front and rear body panels, three-wheeled double “Heinkel kabine”, quadruple “BMW-600” and Italian is a four – seater FIAT 500 and the double four “Isetta” with a narrowed rear track.
Glider interceptor firm “Blom und Voss” BV 40. January 1943 started mass raids of British bombers compounds on German cities. Armada of bombers flying in close formation, known as the “combat box”, providing mutual support by their fire side 12.7 mm machine guns. German fighters struggled to overcome the barriers of the escort fighters and defensive fire of the bombers before they reach the ability to attack the target. Losses were high and the efficiency low. In this regard, the task of countering allied bombers became for Germany a priority. Her decision was attended by many design teams that have submitted their, sometimes very original projects. Perhaps the most unexpected proposal was submitted by the firm “Blom und Voss” glider interceptor V 40. Let us try to retrace the thinking of its creators.
