Combat Warplanes / Mi-28
« on: November 10, 2021, 03:45:25 PM »
In the mid-1970s, the two main helicopter design bureaus of the USSR began working on projects of promising attack helicopters in parallel. The Kamov Design Bureau worked on the future Ka-50, and the Mil Design Bureau designed the Mi-28. November 10, 1982 - the first flight of the Mi-28 attack helicopter.
The Mi-28 is a single-rotor helicopter with a tail rotor and an auxiliary wing. The two-seat cockpit of the pilot and navigator operator is armored. Unlike the Mi-24, the new helicopter does not have an amphibious cargo cabin. The Mi-28N version is equipped with 2 ? VK-2500-02 turboshaft engines (2200 hp), the maximum speed is 300 km/ h, the flight range is 450 km. Armament ? 30 mm 2A42 cannon + up to 2300 kg of combat load on 4 suspension points.
Testing, refinement and elimination of the helicopter's shortcomings took a lot of time. Only in 1996, a modification of the Mi-28N "Night Hunter" was developed, which was adopted by the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2013. The Mi-28N is also in service with the Iraqi and Algerian Air Forces.

Combat Warplanes / Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I
« on: November 09, 2021, 06:38:44 PM »
At the beginning of 1917, British Sopwith Triplane fighters appeared on the Western Front. #Germany responded to this with its Fokker Dr.I, which was flown by the famous ace pilot Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed "The Red Baron". But other companies were also working on similar projects. In mid-1917, the development of its DDr fighter.I started Siemens-Schuckert. November 9, 1917 - the first flight of the experimental fighter Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I.
It was a single-seat triplane with pushing and pulling screws, made of wood. It was equipped with 2 ? Siemens-Halske Sh.1 engines with a capacity of 110 hp each. The armament consisted of 2 ? 7.9 mm LMG 08/15 machine guns.
Siemens-Schuckert DDr.I was one of the first aircraft of the "pull-push" scheme. Unfortunately, his first flight turned out to be his last. The fighter crashed and could not be restored. DDr projects.I and a similar DDr.II with more powerful engines were closed.
