In 1946, first flew double an educational-training plane Yak-11, created on the basis of the Yak-3, but with motor air-cooling, ASH-21. Its armament consisted of a synchronous UBS machine gun of 12.7 mm caliber and two 50-kg bombs In 1955 at the request of Czechoslovakia in OKB A. S. Yakovlev developed the under the gun A-12,7. In 1951 appeared the Yak-11 with the nose landing gear and the training Yak-11T with the equipment of a fighter. In Czechoslovakia built a small series of machines under the designation C-11U.
In 1947 in accordance with the September decision of the government in the aviation experimental design Bureau (OKB-115), headed by A. S. Yakovlev, began development of a heavy landing glider Yak-14 and simultaneously — airborne self-propelled ASU-57. Caterpillar machine was built in the beginning of 1948, and, after a short factory test in April passed on field tests in the research test an armored polygon BT and MV VS (NIIBT Polygon).
Executive car GAZ-12 (ZIM). The names of Soviet aircraft were assigned, usually by the name of their chief designer. Created by C. A. Yakovlev received the name Yak, Mikoyan and M. I. Gurevich – MiG, S. A. Lavochkin – La, P. O. Dry – su, A. N. Tupolev – Tu. Well, the names of the cars have never been associated with the names of their designers, and so few people know who was A. A. Lipgart, N. A. Astrov, V. A. Grachev or B. M. Fitterman.
We have already talked about the long road that designers have been Italian light cruisers with their “condottieri”, which began with a frankly weak “Bande Nere” and culminating in the powerful “Giuseppe Garibaldi” and “Abruzzi”. For their successive steps, each of which led to the emergence of more and more protected and balanced ship, closely followed Mediterranean their eternal rivals and neighbours the French. Up to a certain point in Paris believed that the events develop in favourable terms: they are the powerful leaders may be able to compete with not too “covered” by the cruisers of Mussolini. But with every new series of “potential enemy” the hopes of this kind were becoming ephemera. The fracture occurred on the “Raimondo montecuccoli” and “Aosta valley”, which has carried a solid side armor, it is able to protect from the French 138-millimetrovogo in the medium range and a disadvantage for projectile angles of the meeting.
Amphibian Be-8 has completed the collection of seaplanes, which began in 1941 scout KOR-2 (be-4). Despite the relatively high assessment from specialists, Be-8 for a number of reasons, mass production has not been, and was used mostly as a flying laboratory. Work on the be-8 began in 1946 on the basis of the technical project of the ship’s scout LL-145 with the start of ejection. As a prototype, a new amphibious aircraft was a flying boat of all-metal construction, made on a parasol. Wing, who were technologically on the center section and two detachable parts, were recruited from the profiles of WT-230. On its consoles housed fixed landing gear floats lateral stability, and on the back edge landing flaps, uklonivshiesya on take-off 15° landing 40°. In the wings were the fuel tanks.
The situation by the end of 30-ies of the cruising forces of the Soviet Union, very much like the case of bygone days when the country was an Empire and was called Russia. Stalin and his loyal Commissars wanted to create a “large fleet” is not less than the last Tsar and his entourage. And again ambitious plans were constantly in conflict with higher-priority and urgent tasks, lack of experience and aspirations to create something, which is obviously superior to future adversaries. However, unlike tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union managed not only to develop but also time to implement in the metal is original and very interesting project domestic cruiser. “Light heavyweight” of the 26th (“Kirov”) and its development, 26-bis (“Maxim Gorky”) was undoubtedly an interesting alternative to the standard “contractual” light and heavy cruisers. But the idea with the intermediate 180-mm caliber, it turned out not quite successful, mainly due to insufficient rate of fire and survivability of the barrel of the gun. In addition, the ships were very expensive to reproduce them in dozens of instances seems unrealistic from a financial point of view.
One of the most important areas of the struggle for increasing productivity and reducing crop losses — improving harvest equipment. Performing Food-ing program of the USSR, adopted at the may (1982) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the production Association “Rostselmash” in Rostov-on-don is preparing to release a new model of combine harvesters.
At the beginning of this year from the conveyor Volgograd tractor plant named after F. E. Dzerzhinsky descended the two millionth car. This work gift of Volgograd rural operators, their contribution to the implementation of the Food program in our country. Machines with the brand of VGTZ can be found in the USSR and abroad. Forty percent of all arable tractors, sent to the village, made in Volgograd. Their excellent driving quality, simplicity in work was praised by farmers. The same age as the first five years, the world’s largest tractor plant built in unprecedentedly short time — 11 months. In June 1930 with its main Assembly line produced the first tractor STZ-1. For four years, was released whiter than a hundred thousand of these machines. Soon in the shops of the Stalingrad tractor turned wide competition for the acquisition of new equipment. The experience of his organization picked up and other engineering plants.
Tata Nano is a ultra-small city car produced by the Indian company Tata Motors — the stated price is only $2500, making it the cheapest in the world. The capacity of this vehicle is small — it can accommodate only four people with a driver.
Serial production of the new car called ZAZ-969В began in 1966 in Lutsk machine building plant (1967 — Lutsk automobile plant). The car was designed in KB of Zaporozhye automobile building plant, so the name of the machine at first, appeared abbreviation ZAZ.
