Northrop proposal for a new US Navy dive bomber base don the Northrop A-17
light attack bomber. A prototype was ordered and first flew in July 1935,
designed XBT-1. After a series of service trials, an order was placed for 54
BT-1 models. The first production batch was fitted with the 825hp Wright
R-1535-84 engine. However, the last one off the production line was fitted with
a 1000hp R11820-32 engine and designated XBT-2. Further modifications followed,
and alter the Northrop Corporation became a division of Douglas
in August 1937, the aircraft was redesigned XSBD-1.
It was June
1940 before the US Marine Corps started to receive a batch of 57 Dauntless
SBD-1 with their distinctive, large perforated flaps. A few weeks later, the US
Navy ordered 82 SBD-2 aircraft
The McDonnell
Douglas F-4 Phantom II, one of the world’s greatest ever combat aircraft, was
designed to meet a US Navy requirement for a fleet defence fighter to replace
the F3H Demon and to counter the threat from long range Soviet bombers. The US
Air Force also ordered the Phantom when F-4 was shown to be faster than their
high performance F-104. The F-4 Phantom was first used by the US Navy as an
interceptor, but was soon employed by the US Marine Corps in the ground support
role.
Its
outstanding versatility made it the first US multi-service aircraft to fly
with the US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps concurrently. The remarkable
Phantom excelled in air superiority, interception, close air support, air
defence suppression, strike, longer range, fleet defence, attack a
reconnaissance.
The
sophisticated F-4 was without direction from surface based radar, able to
detect and destroy a target beyond visual range (BVR). In the Vietnam and
Gulf Wars alone, the F-4 Phantom was
In the
early 1970s, when the USAF was considering an aircraft capable of halting a
Soviet armoured thrust in Central Europe, they looked back at their experiences
in Korea and Vietnam
where aircraft modified for use in the close air support role had exhibited
many shortcomings. Instead they needed a purpose designed aircraft that could
carry a heavy weapons load, have good endurance and be able to withstand damage
from ground fire.
The answer
was a remarkable A-10 designed from the outset to tackle Warsaw Pact armour in Europe. Combining accurate firepower and survivability
the A-10 was designed to fly low and relatively slowly across the battlefield
to take out enemy armour and artillery in the very hostile low level
battlefield environment. The aircraft has high lift wings fitted with large
control surfaces, making the aircraft very manoeuvrable while its short take
off and landing capability permitted operations in and out of rough field
locations near front lines.
All the
aircraft’s controls are duplicated and designed to work even if hydraulic
pressure is lost due to enemy fire. The aircraft’s fuel tanks are filled with
fire retardant foam and the A-10’s pilot sits in a
Os dejo un video realizado por el
dúo The Hillywood Show sobre la serie The
Walking Dead.
En mi opinión las hermanas Hilly Hindi y Hannah Hindi han
hecho una genial parodia de la serie The Walking Dead a ritmo de la canción
Another Bite the Dust del grupo Queen. Hilly y Hannah mezclan perfectamente el
humor con la sangre (para mi gusto le falta un poco mas de sangre jeje)
The origins
of this type date back to a specification issued by German Air Ministry in 1940
for a Fast turbojet powered single-seat reconnaissance aircraft. The design
proposed by Arado, the Ar 234, went on to become the world’s first jet powered
bomber.
The first
prototype, the Ar 234V-1, first flew on June 15, 1943 and this was quickly
followed by seven other prototypes, all using a launching trolley and landing
skid arrangement since the aircraft’s
Franz Reichelt fue un reconocido sastre francés de
principios del siglo XX, pero por lo que ha pasado a la historia es por ser un “pionero”
de la seguridad en la aviación y concretamente en el desarrollo de los
paracaídas.
Franz Reichelt nació en Viana en el año 1879, se traslado a
Paris en el año 1898 y obtuvo la nacionalidad francesa en el año 1908. Franz
estaba obsesionado con confeccionar un traje paracaídas que no fuera mucho mas
voluminoso del que habitualmente vestían los aviadores, a excepción de una
estructura de varillas que sujetaban un toldo de seda con una pequeña cantidad
de goma, su prototipo inicial pesaba unos 70 kilos, absolutamente nada que ver
con lo que se había echo antes ni lo que conocemos ahora. Franz Reichelt
realizo varios experimentos lanzando unos maniquíes desde lo alto de un
edificio de la rue Gaillon, todos fueron un fracaso pero Franz no desistía de
conseguir su sueño.
En el año 1911 el Coronel Lalance ofreció un premio de 10000
francos para quien desarrollara un paracaídas, que no tenia que pesar más de 25
kilos para que los pilotos pudieran saltar del avión y así
During the
course of World War II, the Royal Navy had learned the value of carrier based
anti-submarine aircraft. For the post war years the Navy needed a modern
aircraft to tackle the submarine threat posed by any potential enemy.
In 1945 the
Fleet Air Arm issued a requirement GR17/45, for a carrier-based ASW
(anti-submarine warfare) aircraft which could both hunt and kill submarines.
Of two
cosmetically similar designs built to prototype standard, it was the Fairey
design that ultimately won the contract, having flown for the first time on
September 19, 1949. The aircraft had a deep barrel like fuselage to accommodate
both sensors and weapons for hunting and killing enemy craft. Power came from
Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba engine which was actually two turboprop engines
driving a shared gearbox. This in turn drove a contra-rotating propeller
system.
The Double
Mamba was chosen because one of the engines could be shut down for more
