Tu-22 Blinder Soviet Supersonic Bomber

Tu-22 Blinder Soviet Supersonic BomberTu-22 Blinder Soviet Supersonic Bomber
The Tu-22 "Blinder" was the first Soviet supersonic bomber design intended to replace the Tu-16. The Tu-22 original design aimed at creating a contemporary terrorist could avoid combat interceptors using its high speed and altitude. The mid-range Tu-22 were Anglo-American strike bomber bases and other key objectives of NATO and the U.S. Navy carriers in Europe and Asia.

The Tu-22 design feautres a long and thin, tube-like fuselage with a pointed nose pointing and swept wings. The plane was nicknamed "Shilo" (punch) for his crew for their metallic form, he said. The two Dobrynin VD-7M engines are in pods above the main body, one on each side of the plane's tail. From 1965 these were replaced by improved motor Kolesov RD-7M2. The design improved the flow of air into the engine, minimizing the possibility of medical waste removed from the earth.

Disadvantage of the design problem was the maintenance of engines in this position, the necessary strengthening of the tail section and the front had to be Mas because the center of gravity was in the rear of the aircraft. The main landing gear retracts into separate shelves extend beyond the wing.

U-2 Dragon Lady Spy Aircraft

U-2 Dragon Lady Spy Aircraft
The U-2 Dragon Lady spy aircraft flies at the edge of space over 95 percent of Earth's atmosphere, which allows you to bypass normal anti-aircraft missiles.The first U-2 was built by hand in 1952 by engineers at Lockheed and entered service in 1955, making surveillance flights over the Soviet Union.

The aircraft was completed in eight months and exceeded expectations. I had a flight range of 3000 nautical miles, and a maximum altitude of 70,000 feet up to 20,000 feet higher than Russian interceptors, so the U2 plane more difficult to realize in the moment.

The long, straight wings give the U-2, and glider features. It can lead to a variety of sensors and cameras and is an extremely reliable aircraft.Because recognition has to fly at high altitude, the pilot must wear a full pressure suit. As a physical environment, space begins about 125 kilometers above the earth, but as a physiological medium, which starts at 50,000 feet - the equivalent space area. Flying in this area requires the protection of a full pressure suit to protect against the dangers of altitude hypoxia, decompression sickness, the line of Armstrong, and extreme cold.

The Cayuse was organic to the division, brigade, battalion and unit size. The drop of water for four passengers in a "flying egg" (six-passenger with rear seats folded down) was a small, lightweight, robust, easy to operate a helicopter, with very low resistance.

The OH-6A Cayuse was quite effective when combined with the attack helicopter AH-1G Cobra as part of what were known as "Pink Teams". The OH-6A "Loach" (for "LOH") are low-flying targets, "trolling for fire", then marking the target with colored smoke to lead in a Cobra, or "Snake", to attack. The Cayuse could absorb a large quantity of small arms fire and still bring home the crew safely. The OH-6A could be armed with M27 armament subsystem, the port (left) barrel mounting M134 six 7.62 "Minigun" or a 40 mm grenade launcher on the XM8 armament subsystem. In addition, a 7.62 mm caliber pistol M60D machine could be mounted on the rear door opening starboard (right). The OH-6A replaced the Korean era OH-13 Sioux OH-23 light observation helicopters and Raven. The Hughes (model 500M) international military version was sold in ten countries and built under license in Italy and Japan. The Cayuse had a single articulated four-bladed main rotor and a metal two-bladed tail rotor. The OH-6A was driven by a single Allison T63-A turboshaft engine-5A 285 shp, and had a cruising speed of 144 mph (125 knots).

Two special operations versions of the OH-6A are the Hughes (model 500C) AH-6 "Little Bird" armed variant, and the MH-6 version for the transportation / utilities. These advanced versions feature a quieter five-bladed main rotor, minimum cavitation tail rotor and tail distinctive T-shaped
