In the nineteenth century, the United States became a real “worker” in the field of underwater shipbuilding. To a large extent this contributed to the Civil war in which both sides actively tried to use all conceivable technical tricks. However, the “underwater Express” has typed a full speed not immediately. After the second (and, as it turned out, last) war against England came decades latent fermentation of thoughts, not often manifested in the final product. Only in 1851, a curious enthusiast, Lodner Phillips issued the first “product”, so to speak, of the new bottling. 26-year-old inventor came from a quite land of Indiana, had no formal education, knew little of the experience of his predecessors, and his main profession was… Shoe business. And available funds had virtually no.
THE ERA OF THE TRANSATLANTIC CRANKSHAFT
In 1957 the Soviet Union began to develop missiles for army vehicles. In the Kolomna Design office of mechanical engineering B. Shavyrina studied the possibility of equipping tanks missiles as additional weapons to the placement of missile launchers on the tower. In Bureau of the Chelyabinsk tractor plant, headed by P. Isakov, the Leningrad Kirov factory, headed by Zh. Kotin, “Uralvagonzavod” by L. Kartseva was carried out design work and testing of rocket tanks.
It would seem that after Robert Fulton managed to create an almost working submarine, the diving business had to go forward with good speed. However, the main engine of progress in this area was the war, and after the bloodiest of the Napoleonic era in Europe and America came a lull. Of the immediate followers of Fulton can be mentioned is that the brothers Kössen, who had just “to the table” and built in 1810 in Le Havre an obvious rip-off of the first “Nautilus”. (Actually, the brothers did not hide a “source of inspiration”, even naming his creation “the Submarine Nautilus”).
The message of the Soviet information Bureau was, as usual, short: “” N ” the submarine of the Northern fleet under the command of Lieutenant Stolbov entered in the fascist of the harbour and attacked the transport with a displacement of 6 tonnes. Torpedoman Melnikov two torpedoes blew up the enemy ship. The submarine returned safely to their base”. This is the first military success of the Northern fleet in the great Patriotic war fell to the lot of crew of the submarine U-402, which is 14 July 1941, entered Porsangerfjord and destroyed the transport ship of the enemy. The first step was made. But the “four second” had many difficult hikes, and each demanded that the crew maximum impact spiritual and physical strength, bravery, courage and resourcefulness.
“Aerodynamic” Chrysler Airflow. Biography of Walter Chrysler of the typical American entrepreneur. Before creating his own company, he has worked as an assistant locomotive engineer, and Manager of the American locomotive company and the General Director and company President of Buick and Vice-President of General Motors, and President of the company Willys-Overland, and head of Maxwell-Chalmers. However, the first private car appeared Walter Chrysler only in 1920 when he was 45 years old. To get acquainted with his design, just before he tore apart and then reassembled it, and only after that decided to get behind the wheel.
The idea of the hidden attacks of the enemy on the water appeared almost simultaneously with the emergence of military courts. The desire is understandable: a sudden attack could even the odds is weak compared with the obviously more powerful enemy. Night actions, the use of disguise and another flag for convergence followed a decisive volley or boarding why not just take resourceful sailors. But all receptions of this kind was a typical Amateur. So the temptation to have the technical means to “secret rendezvous” and the strike is more than understandable, as well as persistent search for ways, how is the desire to exercise.
The cars of family UAZ-450 UAZ-452. General offensive on Moscow was deployed by the German command at the end of September 1941. As of October 10, the State Defense Committee adopted a decision on immediate evacuation in the heartland of the industrial enterprises of Moscow, which was the Automobile plant named after Stalin (ZIS), which at that time was headed by I. A. Likhachev. In a very short time, machines, materials and equipment Zisa was able to relocate to the East into the city of Miass, Shadrinsk, Chelyabinsk and Ulyanovsk. And in may 1942 the plant in Ulyanovsk, called Ulises, began the production of trucks ZIS-5V, and the second half of 1943, began to assemble an army of four-wheel drive trucks Studebaker from components supplied to the U.S.S.R. under lend-lease.
Helicopter S-55 Sikorsky Aircraft company, part of United Aircraft Corporation, was designed and built in the late 1940-ies, during the period of rapid progress in the global helicopter industry, becoming a significant success of its designer, Igor Sikorsky. By this time, the aircraft designers and military ceased to consider helicopters as merely exotic aircraft. Before them were staged combat missions of a wide range of: supplying troops in remote areas, landing, fight enemy submarines, aerial photography, rescue of crews of downed aircraft, setting smoke screens, laying communication lines, and aerial surveillance.
