Aero L-39 Albatros.![]() L-39 ALBATROS light training jet aircraft is a development of the well-tried L-29 DELFÍN. It is designed for initial and advanced training. A low-wing aircraft with tandem seating and a classic all-metal airframe, it is equipped with a three-point hydraulically operated retractable landing-gear. Trapezoidal wings have fuel tanks on their tips. The wing has double-slotted flaps with a takeoff deflection of 25° and landing deflection of 44°. The fuselage consists of two construction parts - the forward and the rear one. The rear fuselage and tail are removable. Airbus A-400 ![]() The A400M, as the new airlifter of the 21st century, will have more than twice the payload and volume of the aircraft it will replace. It will play an essential rôle in enhancing Europe's airlift capabilities, whilst enabling the establishment of common support, training and operational procedures and greater interoperability in multi-national humanitarian and peace-keeping missions. Antonov An-71 ![]() The Antonov An-71 (NATO reporting name: "Madcap") was a Soviet AWACS aircraft intended for use on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. Its design was based on An-72 'Coaler'. Development never progressed past the prototype stage, the first of which flew on July 12, 1985. It was rejected in favor of the Yak-44, which in turn was cancelled along with the supercarrier Ulyanovsk after the collapse of the Soviet Union. B-1 Lancer ![]() The B-1B is a multi-role, long-range bomber, capable of flying intercontinental missions without refueling, then penetrating present and predicted sophisticated enemy defenses. It can perform a variety of missions, including that of a conventional weapons carrier for theater operations. The B-1B's electronic jamming equipment, infrared countermeasures, radar location and warning systems complement its low-radar cross-section and form an integrated defense system for the aircraft. The swing-wing design and turbofan engines not only provide greater range and high speed at low levels but they also enhance the bomber's survivability. Wing sweep at the full-forward position allows a short takeoff roll and a fast base-escape profile for airfields under attack. Once airborne, the wings are positioned for maximum cruise distance or high-speed penetration. Repainted by halberdier25 (JR) B-2 Spirit ![]() The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions.The blending of low-observable technologies with high aerodynamic efficiency and large payload gives the B-2 important advantages over existing bombers. Its low-observability provides it greater freedom of action at high altitudes, thus increasing its range and a better field of view for the aircraft's sensors. Its unrefueled range is approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers). The B-2's low observability is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures. These signatures make it difficult for the sophisticated defensive systems to detect, track and engage the B-2. Many aspects of the low-observability process remain classified; however, the B-2's composite materials, special coatings and flying-wing design all contribute to its "stealthiness." C-5M Super Galaxy ![]() The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large, military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It was designed to provide strategic heavy airlift over intercontinental distances and to carry outsize and oversize cargo. F-107 Ultra Sabre ![]() The North American F-107 was North American Aviation's (NAA) entry in a United States Air Force tactical fighter-bomber design competition of the 1950s. The F-107 incorporated many innovations and radical design features, and was based on the F-100 Super Sabre. The competition was eventually won by the F-105 Thunderchief, and the F-107 prototypes ended their lives as test aircraft. F-111 Aardvark ![]() The General Dynamics F-111 is an American medium-range strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and tactical strike aircraft designed in the 1960s. The United States Air Force (USAF) variants were officially retired by 1998. The only remaining operator of the F-111 is the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production military aircraft, including variable geometry wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and terrain following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design was highly influential, particularly for Soviet engineers, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. In its inception, however, the F-111 suffered a variety of development problems, and several of its intended roles, such as naval interception, failed to materialize. F-16 Fighting Falcon ![]() The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multi-role jet fighter aircraft developed by General Dynamics in the United States. Designed as a lightweight fighter, it evolved into a successful multi-role aircraft. In 1993 General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, now part of Lockheed Martin. The Falcon's versatility is a paramount reason it was a success on the export market, serving 24 countries. The F-16 is the largest and probably most significant current Western fighter program, with over 4,000 aircraft built since production started in 1976. Though no longer produced for the United States Air Force, it is still produced for export. Mh-53 Pavelow. ![]() The MH-53J's mission is to perform low-level, long-range, undetected penetration into denied areas, day or night, in adverse weather, for infiltration, exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces. The MH-53 helicopter is a highly versatile aircraft. It is used for a variety of missions, usually in conjunction with special operations. The MH-53 is a two-engine, single-rotor, heavy-lift helicopter. It has a crew of six and can be refueled while in flight. It has a precision navigational and communications package, which makes it excellent for conducting deep infiltration and exfiltration missions. The MH-53 helicopter can fly at night in all weather and terrain conditions. It can follow down to 100 feet and operate from unprepared sites. It is fitted with three gun stations for a mix of 7.62-mm miniguns and caliber .50 machine guns. Mi-26 Halo ![]() The Mi-26 Heavy Military Transport Helicopter made it's first flight in 1978. This helicopter was intended to carry passengers and cargo in the cargo cabin or large cargo on theexternal slung. The Mi-26 "Halo" was intended to replace the Mi-6 Heavy Transport Helicopter which had lower useful cargo load and smaller cargo compartment as the analyze of the new and perspective Soviet Army infantry vehicles showed that 80 - 90% of all motorized infantry division cargo must be transported by helicopters. The Mi-26 has an 8-blade main and 5-blade turn rotors consequently. The helicopter features low weight level of the main systems and devices. The main rotor has steel longeron, fiberglass frame and special paper thinned blades. Such blade has weight of 375 kg compared with 705 kg on the Mi-6. A special titan abrasive shoes provide erosion wear protection. This method was first used in helicopter building. OH-58OA Kiowa Warrior ![]() Its used for observation/attack missions over the enemy and the visualisation of the damage made by our guys. The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is a two-seat, single-engine, four-bladed single main rotor light helicopter with a low light television, thermal imaging system, and laser range finder/designator incorporated into an above the rotor Mast Mounted Sight (MMS). It is designed to operate autonomously at standoff ranges providing armed reconnaissance, command and control, and target acquisition and designation under day/night, hot, and adverse weather conditions. RAH-66 Comanche ![]() The Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche is the Army's next generation armed reconnaissance helicopter. It also is the first helicopter developed specifically for this role. The Comanche will provide Army Aviation the opportunity to move into the 21st century with a weapon system of unsurpassed warfighting capabilities crucial to the Army's future strategic vision. The aircraft has been designed to emit a low-radar signature (stealth features). The Comanche will perform the attack mission itself for the Army's light divisions. The RAH-66 will be used as a scout and attack helicopter to include an air-to-ground and air-to-air combat capability. SU-27 Shadow Hunters Fighter ![]() The Su-27 (NATO designation Flanker) is the front line fighter aircraft designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and manufactured by Irkut Corporation. The Su-27 is a highly integrated twin-finned aircraft. The airframe is constructed of titanium and high-strength aluminium alloys. The engine nacelles are fitted with trouser fairings to provide a continuous streamlined profile between the nacelles and the tail beams. The fins and horizontal tail consoles are attached to tail beams. The central beam section between the engine nacelles consists of the equipment compartment, fuel tank and the brake parachute container. The fuselage head is of semi-monocoque construction and includes the cockpit, radar compartments and the avionics bay. UH-60 Black Hawk ![]() It's used by the Special Ops to infiltrate in the enemy territory in adverse weather conditions both day and night.
