(Bomber-torpedo bomber Nakajima B5N). The first mention of the Japanese torpedo bombers appeared almost a hundred years ago – in April 1916, when at an aircraft factory Naval Arsenal in Yokosuka, was designed by the first aircraft of this type. In its development, took an active part Navy Lieutenant Chikuhei Nakajima, the future head of the eponymous Japanese company. However, the domestic aircraft do not generate interest from the Navy, which chose to seek the assistance of foreign experts.
THE AIRCRAFT THAT STARTED THE WAR
The main drawback of T-72 tanks of all modifications, compared to other cars of the Soviet and foreign production of those years was the lack of an automated fire control system (FCS). In this regard, it was decided to conduct a deep modernization “semdesyatdvoyki.” This work took place under the theme “improving the T-72B” defined by the Council of Ministers of the USSR of June 19, 1986. The original design took place under the leadership of V. N. Venediktov, and after his 1987 retirement – under the leadership of new chief designer V. I. Potkin.
The once super popular in the narrow circles of the party-state nomenclature Executive car GAZ-13 “Chaika” in the 1960-ies began to lose its appeal. Pretentious machine with the design of the end 1940-x of years, full of airplane fins, chrome mouldings and fanciful lattices, it seemed yesterday the mighty car mods. Artists and designers of Gas tried to pimp the appearance of “the Seagull” (known, for example, modification of the GAZ-13 with four headlights, chicken wire grille and a flatter bumper), however, the initiative of the factory designers were not supported by “surface”.
