MIG-15 — THE LEGEND OF SOVIET AVIATION

MIG-15 — THE LEGEND OF SOVIET AVIATIONThe history of the MiG-15 began after the Soviet trade representatives in 1946, Britain was able to purchase from the company a Rolls-Royce turbojet engine the most advanced of its time Derwent 5 with a thrust of 1,590 kg, Nene I with a thrust of 2040 kg and Nene II with traction 2270 kg. In the USSR, these engines received the designation RD-500, RD-45 and RD-45F, respectively. After that, it became possible to create a fighter with a flight speed of about 1000 km/h and a ceiling in excess of 13 000 m.

THE GYRO ON A ROPE

GYRO ON A ROPEModel autogyro designed and built in the laboratory of the Aero modeling club of young technicians of the Siberian branch of the USSR. The author is a graduate of the class of technical physics and mathematics school Ilya Skiba. The model is made in Cordova. In this case adjusting it is easier than Svobodnaya. The design of the autogyro is quite simple. The fuselage, landing gear, empennage, engine mountings — as a conventional cord models. A three-bladed propeller creates lift, rotating from the incoming air flow, that is, using the phenomenon of autorotation. However, the number of blades may be three, four or more.

CIRCULAR SAW “ON THE CONTRARY”

I also do many things with their hands (friends call me by this “local Kulibin”).

ELECTROCUTING TO BE!

ELECTROCUTING TO BE!Numerous experiments to create a map with the electric drive until now led to the emergence of machines, its high-speed qualities can become a training, not racing. After analyzing design flaws, we tried to create electrocat (Fig. 1). able to become a competitor to the traditional internal combustion engine.
