The first time I saw this unusual rocket in 2007 in the championship of Russia in Orel. At the start of class models Ѕ4А my attention was drawn to the flight of the rocket glider container type. From the start of the Protocol we learned the name of its designer — Sasha Scoops from the team of the Krasnodar territory and the flight time is maximum (3 minutes). Just wanted to meet the designer, but in the starting area he appeared and after the second round. But the Protocol after the red number “180” was listed a “0”.NOT TO THE SIDE AND UP
We are accustomed to the fact that the curtains should be spread out. For this there are special rods or strings, fastened above the window. Some of them are mechanized: it is necessary to pull the cord and the curtain goes to the side. It is convenient to use the same device and for lifting Read more…
In the latest issue of our magazine published a series of articles of the group of designers of the gyros about the features of the construction of these helicopters, how to build gyroplanes, how to fly them, towed by boat or car. In this room we talk about the fuselage structure and the governance of the autogyro (or Meropenem, since they are identical).
SNOWMOBILE RF-8-GAZ-98. Snowy and cold winter of 1941/42 created the conditions for widespread use we combat and transport equipment. “Hint” the Russian winter has been perceived by our troops. In January 1942, in many parts of the fronts in the suburbs, in the area of Staraya Russa, in the North-Western front we had the first units. Off-road combat and transport battalions, equipped with the appropriate types of planes, got into the hands of one of the main trumps of the war — the mobility and speed of movement. In the most unexpected for the enemy areas is rapidly emerging, and conducted a successful combat operation of our units. The enemy were guarding the road — snowmobiles appeared due to impassable snow drifts. The effect of surprise, the transience of the battle behind enemy lines produce a striking effect on the Nazis. Meanwhile, transport the snowmobile ride of the new Marines that had secured the success of the operation.
(THE BUILD-POLYOPIA). Building the model-polyopia begin with the manufacture of the fuselage (Fig. 1), the contours of the lateral projection should most accurately reflect the similarity with the copied aircraft. To the fuselage structure demands maximum strength with minimum weight. The greatest difficulty in its manufacture is the reduction in the weight of the tail, which is much longer than the front, So it makes truss.
In February 1941 Aviatsionny corps of the U.S. army (the predecessor of the air force, U.S. army) became interested in the possibility of using gliders in the landing and transportation operations. As a result, by March 1941, developed the preliminary requirements for two types of gliders for the transport of eight and 15 people. These requirements sent to eleven firms, but only four of them said that they are ready to start work. It was “the Frankfort, sailplan company”, “Waco aircraft company of Troy”, “Bowles, sailplan incorporated and the St. Louis aircraft Corporation”. Other refused to participate in the contest, being involved in the implementation of other military orders, or citing the lack of necessary capacity or experience. To the stage of construction of prototypes of the gliders made it two companies.
