We left a tireless worker submarine building John Holland at the end of the XX century, at the time of his career, when the impression that finally his long labors were crowned with success. Indeed, he created the submarine, named with his own name, finally became part of the United States Navy. On the stocks of the company, also bearing the name “Holland”, built next boat, the ninth, in which was made additional improvements. It showed the interest of Maritime agents of some foreign powers when the mounted body only. It seemed that one more step and the production designer will be able to break the “operating room”.
THE TRIUMPH OF THE NAME OF THE LOSER
All wars end sooner or later, no exception and the most terrible in human history the Second world war. And when peace came, the experts were not in a hurry to understand tendencies of development of those or other weapons systems. It is obvious that during the conduct of hostilities, the release of new models of equipment and retraining of personnel on long-term patterns difficult to achieve.
Military transport aircraft, being developed by “Aerospatiale” (France), “British aerospace” (England), DАSА (Germany) and CASA (Spain), intended for the carriage of goods weighing up to 32 tonnes, including 120 equipped troops, helicopters an-66 Tiger, NH-90, as well as artillery guns, in particular, howitzers М110А caliber 203 mm jet systems of volley fire. The power plant consists of four gas-turbine engine with propeller fans. The aircraft is equipped with a system of refueling in flight. Four wing-mounted nodes possible suspension assemblies refueling aircraft fuel in flight or containers, electronic countermeasures.
We have already talked about how the heavy cruiser became a favorite class for American sailors Large 10 000-ton ships could not be better suited for action on the oceans, where distances between bases was a few thousand miles. Therefore, the new Maritime conference assembled in London in 1930, overseas admirals fought for them as hot as in battle. And in the end succeeded: the United States was able finally to overcome the “mistress of the seas”. Even in the same class of ships, but most (as it seemed) interesting. Americans are “knocked out” for himself the right to have 18 heavy cruisers, while the British were allowed no more than 15, and the Japanese only 12. It all looked just fine, but in fact the Treaty of London recorded this at the moment the situation. The United States already had in service or on the stocks of 16 units falling in the “severe” category, and not all of them came out good and strong. The seventeenth was the “Vincennes”, which was built on existing project “new Orleans”. In the end, the further development of class room for maneuver remains very little — only one ship. Then you’d have to wait until your 20-year term will serve the first of the “Washingtonians” and they can be replaced.
At the beginning of world war II the threat of Japanese invasion on the island of New Zealand growing by the day. The country was in danger, not having any modern weapons. Under these conditions, the Public Works Department has proposed a draft tank on the basis of the tractor D8 Caterpillar (“caterpillar”). The army was interested.
Despite the high performance, engines and avionics of the Il-76 aircraft leave much to be desired. Excessive noise and emission of pollutants to the environment, made it impossible for flights of Il-76 over the border. In this regard, the engines D-30KP replaced with PS-90A-76, reinforced center section and updated equipment. In particular, instead of flight, navigation and sighting complex K-II-76 established “Kupol-III-76M-VD” shown on two multifunction liquid crystal display. Use PS-90A-76 is allowed to increase the capacity of the machine to 2 t, the height of the airfield up to 3000 m above sea level and a range of almost 1,000 km.
Compact car Polski FIAT 126 p. The present publication, we complete the story of the glorious cohort of Italian runabout, initiated by FIAT-500 Nuova, designed by the famous avtodizayner Dante Giacosa. Ideologically, the car became the successor of pre-war double minicar FIAT-500 Topolino, but structurally, it was a completely different car.
Taking into account the experience of glider landing operations of the allies during the Second world war, the Soviet government also decided to provide for their airborne troops in large gliders capable of carrying heavy weapons. The decision was taken in 1947 By this time, the team of V. K. Gribovsky was already disbanded and specifications for the design of heavy gliders got the design Bureau of A. S. Yakovlev and S. Ilyushin.
Their first SUV called the JIMNY Japanese company Suzuki has released in 1968. Utilitarian and inexpensive all-terrain vehicle was used in Japan, good demand, and the company began to improve the car, leaving intact the concept. In 1974, Suzuki has updated the JIMNY seriously, equipping it with two-stroke three-cylinder engine liquid cooling and a new, more spacious four-seater body. In 1977 vnedorozhnik equipped with a “real” four-stroke four-cylinder 41 HP engine, liquid-cooled working volume of 0.8 L.
Supersonic aircraft F100D Super Sabre. During the Korean war, which lasted from 1950 to 1953, in service with the us strike aircraft consisted of jet planes F-86 “saber” (“Sabre”) and the F-94 (“Starfire”) with transonic speeds. These machines served in first line until the mid 1950-ies, when they began to be replaced by new, this time a supersonic aircraft. New generation cars to be called Centuty fighters (fighters of the century) or “acres”, according to their numerical index. First among these has been the aircraft of the company “North American”, which received the designation F-100 “Super sabre”.
