Light multipurpose helicopter BK-117 — the first joint development between the companies of Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany.

TT-1 made its first flight in 1956, after which the prototype was sent to the Aviation test centre of the Navy (PATS), where was evaluated in comparison with the “beach Mod” 73 jet Mentor. In the period from 1955 to 1957, was built 14 aircraft TT-1 “Pinto”.
Development of combat training aircraft “Pampa” began in 1979, the Design was made on the basis of the aircraft “alpha jet”, with the involvement of the company “Dornier”. In 1981 began construction of three prototypes and two airframes for static tests. The first prototype, named EX-01, first flew in October 1987 it was Planned to produce 300 aircraft: 100 for the Argentine air force and 200 for export. But in the end, to the end of 1990 produced a total of 55 cars.
Supersonic B-58 was created by the firm “Konver” as a replacement for the b-47. The first flight took place on 11 November 1956. Six weeks later, on 30 December 1956, the new car has exceeded the speed of sound, and after six months -29 June 1957 – Hasler made the first flight with the speed, twice the sound (M=2,03 at an altitude of about 13 km). 1 August 1960 to the customer was delivered the first production aircraft.
Immediately after his return from Moscow to Koktebel in the fall of 1929 Sergei asked me to do a new airframe for aerobatics, — says the aircraft designer S. N. The lyushin.— There were many reasons that prevented me to take this job, and he began to design what later became SC-3 — “Krasnaya Zvezda”. Her design, very original, still lay in the framework of a familiar and accepted. Tasks that has set itself the S. P. Korolev was much more complicated. Here is how he talks about them:
The first successful experience of using helicopters in combat operations in Korea 1950 — 1953 showed that the U.S. army urgently needed a multi-purpose light helicopters, able to perform tasks on landing and transportation of troops, for fire support of infantry and evacuation of the wounded, to support the transport and liaison helicopters.

The family car, which was launched at the Gorky plant in 1936, the machine “M-1” is, except it, there are four versions: semi-truck — “truck” “415”, “sedan” “11-73”, “Phaeton” “11-40” and all terrain vehicles models “61”. Last three cars — the second generation of the family, whose main difference is a powerful 6-cylinder engine is 4-cylinder the first two. But all machines have a lot in common or at least similar in appearance.
