  • Suchoj Su-22 UM 3 K. 2017

    In CCCP, the Su-17 plane, despite constant modifications and the creation of its second generation, still did not meet the assumptions made. It was not about volatile properties and performance, but about the possibility of effectively attacking ground targets in "all weather conditions". The variable geometry of the wings was not a sufficient argument here.…

  • Suchoj Su-7 U. 2017

    The concept of atomization and rocketization of the battlefield brought real development of the Su-7 aircraft. Nuclear warheads were to be carried by missiles and barrel artillery. But some of the enemy’s promises (moving targets) were to be destroyed by air bombs. Supersonic aircraft have been designated for this task. Due to the high speed,…

Projects already implemented and put into service, such as F-22 and F-35, confirm this rule. This tendency results from several basic premises. First, computer…

  • WSK LZR Bydgoszcz SB Lim-1/2. 1951.

    The entire contract for the supply of Yak-23 fighters for the Polish Army has not been completed yet, and in July 1951 the supply of MiG-15 fighters began. The reason was the development of events during the Korean War, the Berlin blockade lost, and above all the CCCP’s possession of nuclear weapons. This resulted in…

  • Gulfstream Aerospace 550 Gulfstream. 2017

    We wrote a lot about the political side of choosing Gulfstream G550 planes for transporting the most important people in Poland in other articles. We are convinced that the best offer and the best aircraft in the class of commercial machines have been selected. The Gulfstream G550 is truly an aircraft of the highest quality,…
