We left Royal Navy under development hollandska-Spirovska submarines of the first generation. This series of nameless boats revealed both advantages and disadvantages of the first Maritime powers of the world in a completely new shipbuilding. The first, of course, include the speed with which built submarines. Here, the shipbuilders of Britain showed their best side. Despite the fact that I had to produce a fundamentally new boats, the timing was very compressed and the quality is very high.
“MISTRESS” IN THE PURSUIT OF
Developing the concept of training plane DH.60, John. De Havilland has created a new aircraft of the same class – DH.60T. He was distinguished by a reinforced airframe, a modified biplane gearbox and motor “Gypsy” lll (120 HP). After releasing a small series of DH.60T went into production DH.82 with the increased chord of the lower wing. The first flight of a machine called “tiger moth”, was held on 26 October 1931
1942 the British General staff attended to the question: “How should a heavy “assault tank”, able without harm to themselves to act at the head of the offensive orders troops?” At that time, the military command has developed a new concept of development of armored forces, and I must say that attempts to give an exhaustive answer quickly laid down on paper in draft form. There are several development machines, for example, АТ33 “Exelsior”, АТ38 “Valiant”, but in most cases, more drawings have been done.
HISTORY OF PS-35 (ANT-35). At the end of 1930-ies in the Soviet air force began to penetrate American airliner DC-3, launched in Khimki under designation PS-84. Later this machine became widely known as Li-2. “American” quickly moved “in the shadow” of the passenger aircraft of national design, including the Tupolev PS-35. The history of the past is very interesting. Almost all know that A. N. Tupolev managed to significantly speed up the creation of the first Soviet passenger jet Tu-104, using units of long-range bomber Tu-16. But such a trick the designer had done in the past – a shining example of this was the PS-35. The basis for it was the famous high-speed bomber SB.
To test the dynamite gun in a combat situation was not an easy task. Although auxiliary cruiser “niterói” was commissioned in late 1893
Nearly five years, the ousting of John Holland, a private company in 1904 came to a natural end. Amateur inventor had left the firm and his place was taken by young and energetic professional Speer. However, the impact of such a significant figure at the successor remained in force. The first series of submarines SPIRA, type “B” was the direct development of the “hedgerow” and the actual “Hollands”. And in the creation of the project participate directly to the Patriarch of the underwater shipbuilding. Fortunately, the task before the designers enough.
“Field guns on the mobile carriage” was initially called in the troops of the Wehrmacht 105-mm self-propelled howitzer Sd.Kfz.124 Wespe (“Vespa”, “Wasp”), They appeared at the front in the spring of 1943 and their baptism of fire had for the operation “Citadel”, to participate in the battle of Kursk. There is evidence that while the German combat formations were up to seventy guns, fifteen of which were destroyed by the fire of our divisions.
First domestic FWD. What vehicle did not invent tireless automakers! Their drawings were cars with engines at both the front and rear, with the leading front wheels and rear wheel drive and the most advanced authors with a drive to all four wheels…
This Japanese car belongs to the group of mid-size AWD SUV-crossover which production was designed primarily for the American market. In the standard version it is designed for five people, but as an option, the buyer is offered a seven-seat version.
Long-range bomber Il-4 (DB-DF) was established in 1940 Intended for bombing attacks in the deep rear of the enemy, DB-ZF from the first days of the war these planes were used to deter the advancing German troops, mainly in the afternoon. The solution to unusual problems without escort fighters resulted in heavy losses, but this practice did not last long. During the war the aircraft was constantly adapted to the technological capabilities of enterprises, enhance weapons, on some machines, set the autopilot.
