American biplane torpedo bomber. The Martin TG-2 is an American airborne single-engine biplane torpedo bomber, a modification of the Martin T4M aircraft. The main difference between the two versions was that the TG-2 used the 620hp Wright R-1820-86 Cyclone engine. Only 32 copies of this version were produced. These machines were replaced in 1938 by the TBD Devastator.
The General-Dynamics F16 Falcon is an American single-engine, multi-role light fighter and stormtrooper. Work on the F-16 project began in 1971 at General Dynamics (which in 1993 was part of the giant Lockheed Martin), participating in the competition for a light multipurpose fighter (LWF) for the US Air Force. The YF-16 prototype first flew on February 2, 1974. A breakthrough in technical terms was the use of a computerized fly-by-wire electric control system, which made it possible to reduce the wing area and of the tail, and thus reduce the weight of the entire aircraft. The F-16 was the world's first fighter to use such a system. The first versions were largely made of aluminum alloys (about 83% of the total structure), but over time they gave way to composites. The different versions of the F-16 are powered by three versions of the engines: Pratt-Whitney F-100-PW-200, General Electric F110-GE100 and Pratt-Whitney F-100-PW-2020. The "brain" of the guidance system was the APG-66 radar, which was later replaced by the APG-68 (V) radar. It is worth noting that the YF-16 project turned out to be so successful that it won not only the LWF competition in the United States (competing with the Northrop YF-17 aircraft), but also won the centenary contract for a multirole fighter for European NATO countries. Its rivals were the Dassault Mirage F.1 and SAAB J-37 Viggen machines. Serial production of the F-16 began in 1975. It was also attended by European NATO countries for which it was an injection of new aviation technologies. Final assembly was done in the USA, Belgium and the Netherlands. The first serial F-16A Fighting Falcon was flown on August 7, 1978. It is an assault version of the F-16, primarily intended to counter ground targets. The F-16 also proved effective in combat, with a string of aerial victories in the Lebanon War (1982) and Operation Desert Storm (1991). By the end of the 20th century, more than 4,000 of these successful aircraft had been produced. There were six basic versions of the F-16, badged A, C, E (single seat) and B, D, F (two seat). On the basis of these six models, numerous upgrades are made, most often associated with the replacement of avionics, marked as "Block". Since 2006, the F-16 has also served in the Polish Air Force. The Polish Ministry of Defense decided that the F-16 would be the backbone of the modernized aviation, rejecting offers from Dessault and SAAB, although in this case they were Mirage F2000 and JAS-39 Grippen fighters. Undoubtedly the highest sum proposed by the American company in the context of the so-called compensation transaction. Technical data: Maximum speed: 2,170 km / h, rate of climb: 254 m / s, maximum ceiling 15240 m, maximum range: 3890 km, armament: fixed - one 20 mm six-barreled M61A-1 cannon, suspended - up at 9275 kg load.
Takom 6002 Zeppelin P Class Airship 1/350 scale. Zeppelin type P (or: P-class) is a term for a class of German airships from World War I. The flight of the prototype airships of this class took place in May 1915. Over the course of production, 22 aircraft of this type were created. Propulsion - in the first units - was provided by four Maybach 3M CX engines of 210 hp each. The airship was 163.5 meters long and its crew consisted of 19 people. The bridge's armament consisted of 7 to 8 7.92 mm machine guns. The machine could also carry bomb loads of up to 2,000 kilograms. The Zeppelin Type P was a type of airship produced for the needs of both the German Army and Navy. The main objectives of airships of this type were patrol missions in the Baltic and North Seas and carrying out bombing raids over Great Britain in 1915-1916. Army airships also served on the Western, Eastern and South-Eastern Fronts. Zeppelins of this type were created as a modernization of the M-type airships, and the main change was to increase their size and extend their flight range. In later versions of airships of this type, new engines with more power were used as propulsion. In late 1915, the P-class airships were supplemented and replaced in line by the Q model, which was even larger in size and capable of reaching a higher altitude.
Revell 04744 Fokker Dr.I Richthofen SCALE 1/28. Plastic kit to assemble. German Fokker Dr. I World War I three-lobe fighter aircraft. The work of Anthony Fokker and Reinhold Plat. The aircraft was a German response to the appearance of the British Sopwith Triplane fighter. The Fokker Dr.I was characterized by fantastic maneuverability, a very high climb rate and achieved a decisive advantage in wheel combat with biplane aircraft. However, it had a low top speed (165 km/h), partly due also to the use of a weak 110 hp engine. The first pre-production vehicles (marked with the V.5 symbol) were tested by prominent German pilots: Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the "Red Baron". It was the latter who made this aircraft model famous, achieving many victories on it. Serial Fokker Dr. I aircraft served at the front from October 1917. until the end of the war. A total of 320 units were produced. Technical data: Maximum speed: 165 km/h; rate of climb 5.7 m/s, maximum ceiling 6095 m, armament: two 7.92 mm Spandau machine guns, firing via a propeller.
ZVEZDA 7038 Russian Strategic Bomber TU-95MS Bear SCALE 1:144. Plastic kit to assemble, does not contain glue or colours. 1/144 scale Tu-95MS "Bear" bomber plane kit - Zvezda model. The Tupolev Tu-95MS, also known as "Bear", is a long-range, propeller-driven strategic bomber designed by the Soviet Union. Here are some key features of this iconic aircraft: Design and propulsion: The Tu-95MS features a distinctive design with four NK-12 turboprop engines driving large counter-rotating propellers. This design allows the "Bear" to fly long range at sustained speeds, making it one of the few propeller-driven bombers still in active service. Cargo Capacity: The Tu-95MS is designed to carry a significant war load, including cruise missiles, conventional or nuclear bombs, and other on-board armament. Its payload capacity allows for long-range strategic bombing missions. Autonomy: Thanks to its efficient engines and the ability to carry fuel, the Tu-95MS has exceptional flight autonomy, which allows it to perform maritime patrol, surveillance and strategic bombing missions over very extended distances. Roles: The "Bear" has been employed in a number of roles, including maritime patrol, early detection and surveillance, strategic bombing and transport of war cargo. It is known for its ability to patrol international waters, particularly near the coasts of the United States and Europe. Operational Service: The Tu-95MS "Bear" entered service in the Soviet Union in the 1950s and continues to be used by Russia in various versions and configurations. It is one of the longest-serving and most iconic propeller-driven military aircraft in the world. In summary, the Tu-95MS "Bear" is a long-range, propeller-driven strategic bomber developed by the Soviet Union, known for its range, war-load capacity and long operational history. It is an icon of the Cold War and remains a symbol of Russian air power.
