IAI Lavi Author: Paolo Costa

IAI Lavi:  from wikipedia

The IAI Lavi (Hebrew: "Lion") was a single-engined fighter aircraft developed in Israel in the 1980s.
Developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the choice to develop the Lavi was controversial, both with the Israeli public due to the enormous associated costs and particularly with the U.S. government due to competition with American fighters on the export market.
These issues led to its ultimate cancellation.
The Lavi was planned to be the mainstay of the Israeli Air Force, and considerable export sales for the aircraft had been forecast.
The uniqueness of its design was in the combination of a small, aerodynamic, highly maneuverable plane, with sophisticated, software-rich systems, low armed drag, and the ability to carry a large payload at high speed and over long distances.
As of 2012, two of the prototypes have been preserved, and have been on public display.
Some sources have alleged that, following the Lavi's cancellation, design aspects of the aircraft have been used in the development of other fast jet aircraft.

Cessna 208A Caravan

O Cessna 208 Caravan é um monomotor turbohélice de asa alta. É utilizado principalmente como utilitário, para o transporte de pessoas e de pequenas cargas. As versões especializadas em transporte de carga são conhecidas como Cargomaster . Foi desenvolvido pela Cessna Aircraft Company. Normalmente, a aeronave transporta de 9 a 14 passageiros e um tripulante.

Motivada pela obsolescência das aeronaves deste nicho de mercado, a Cessna iniciou o desenvolvimento da aeronave. Logo despertou o interesse da empresa de correios americana Federal Express (Fedex), o primeiro grande cliente do avião. A aeronave é usada em localidades com pouco volume, alimentando linhas com aeronaves maiores. O Caravan voou pela primeira vez em 1982. O primeiro modelo de produção foi denominado 208A. Uma versão alongada voou pela primeira vez em 1986 e recebeu a designação 208B.

Diamond Da40 Diamond Star Author: Paolo Costa

Diamond Da40 Diamond Star:  from wikipedia

The Diamond DA40 Diamond Star is an Austrian four-seat, single engine, light aircraft constructed from composite materials. 
Built in both Austria and Canada, it was developed as a four-seat version of the earlier DA20 by Diamond Aircraft Industries.

Based on the success of the earlier DA20 two-seat aircraft, the company designed a four-seat variant, the DA40.
The DA40 is a four-seat low-wing cantilever monoplane made from composite materials. It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and a T-tail.
The Rotax 914 powered prototype DA40-V1, registered OE-VPC, first flew on the 5 November 1997 and was followed by a second prototype DA40-V2 (registered OE-VPE) which was powered by a
Continental IO-240. In 1998 a third prototype DA40-V3 flew powered by a Lycoming IO-360 engine. Four more test aircraft were produced followed with the first production aircraft in 2000.
JAR23 certification of the IO-360 production variant was obtained in October 2000. In 2002 the production of the Lycoming engined variant was moved to Canada and the Austrian factory concentrated on diesel-engined variants.

PZL P.11c Author: Paolo Costa

PZL P.11c:  from wikipedia

The PZL P.11 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed in the early 1930s by PZL in Warsaw.
It was briefly considered to be the most advanced fighter aircraft design in the world.
The PZL P.11 served as Poland's primary fighter defence in the Polish campaign of 1939, but by that point was outdated due to rapid advances in aircraft design in comparison to more advanced contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane and Messerschmitt Bf 109.

Antonov An-2 :  from wikipedia

The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: kukuruznik, "maize farmworker", inherited from the earlier Polikarpov Po-2; also nicknamed "Annushka" or "Annie")  is a single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed in the USSR in 1946. (USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22, NATO reporting name Colt.)

The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft, agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane. 
Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments.
The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

This package includes three planes, the standard An-2, the Polar Exploration An-2, the Floats version An-2, all these planes are very well made, with components, animations, and excellent flight model.

BD-5 Micro Author: Alexey Filatov

BD-5 Micro :  from wikipedia

The BD-5 Micro is a series of small, single-seat homebuilt aircraft created in the late 1960s by US aircraft designer Jim Bede and introduced to the market primarily in "kit" form by the now-defunct Bede Aircraft Corporation in the early 1970s.

The BD-5 has a small, streamlined fuselage holding its semi-reclined pilot under a large canopy, with the engine installed in a compartment in the middle of the fuselage, and a propeller or jet engine in the BD-5J variant, mounted immediately to the rear of the cockpit.
The combination of fighter-like looks and relatively low cost led to the BD-5 selling over 5,000 kits or plans, with approximately 12,000 orders being taken for a proposed factory-built FAA certified version. 
However, few of the kit versions were actually completed due to the company's bankruptcy in the mid-1970s, and none of the factory built "D" models produced, brought on by the failure to deliver a reliable engine for the design.

In total, only a few hundred BD-5 kits were completed, although many of these are still being flown today. The BD-5J version holds the record for the world's lightest jet aircraft, weighing only 358.8 lb (162.7 kg).

Klemm L25 Author: Marcel Aerni

Klemm L25 from Wikipedia

Klemm L.25, later Klemm Kl 25 was a successful German low-winged, cantilevered, light leisure and training aircraft, developed in 1928.
More than 600 aircraft were built, and manufacturing licenses were sold to the United Kingdom and the United States.
The aircraft was developed by Hanns Klemm who used his previous design, the Klemm Kl 20, as a starting point. About thirty different versions of the Kl 25 were made, and these were equipped with engines ranging from 32 kW to 70 kW.
The fuselage was covered with plywood.
Depending on the model, the aircraft's weight was 620 to 720 kilograms, and it had a 10.5 m to 13 m wingspan.
Take-off was achieved at only 50 km/h and the maximum speed was between 150 and 160 km/h.
In relation to similar aircraft of the time, assembly was very easy, and this made it
a very popular aircraft.
According to the sales brochures, only 25% of the engine's power was needed to keep
the aircraft flying, compared to similar-type biplanes which required 50% engine power.

The prototype Fly Baby first flew in 1962, It is now on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
Variants included a biplane version called the Bowers Bi-Baby or Fly Baby 1-Band several dual cockpit designs by various builders.
Bowers also designed a side-by-side two-seat version he called Namu, but few examples have been built, The Fly Baby was the winner of the
Experimental Aircraft Association's 1962 design competition.
Over 500 Fly Babies have been completed to date, with scores still flying worldwide and an active network of builders and owners.
It is built from plans and was designed to be constructed in a garage using only basic hand tools, by a person of average "home handyman" skill in 1962.
The plans consist of over one hundred pages of typewritten instructions and dimensioned drawings.
After Bowers death in 2003 the plans were unavailable for a time, but as of 2007 they were available again.

FA-18D Hornet Author: Jason Simpson

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather carrier-capable multirole fighter jet, designed to attack both ground and aerial targets. The F/A-18 was derived from the YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations. It has been the aerial demonstration aircraft for the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, since 1986.

The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.

The F/A-18C is the single-seat variant and the F/A-18D is the two seat variant. The D-model can be configured for training or as an all-weather strike craft. The "missionized" D-model's rear seat is configured for a Weapons and Sensors Officer to assist in operating the weapons systems. The D model is primarily operated by the U.S. Marine Corps in the night attack and FAC(A) (Forward Air Controller (Airborne)) roles.

C-130J Hercules Author: Jason Simpson
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. It is the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over 40 models and variants of the Hercules serve with more than 50 nations. In December 2006 the C-130 became the fifth aircraft—after the English Electric Canberra, B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95, and KC-135 Stratotanker—to mark 50 years of continuous use with its original primary customer, in this case, the United States Air Force. The C-130 is also the only military aircraft to remain in continuous production for 50 years with its original customer, as the updated C-130J Super Hercules.

Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 50 years of service the family has participated in countless military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.

aeroshow in Le Bourget.

The first batch of the aircraft has been produced at the airplane plant in Samara.
The MOLNIYA-1 is intended for individual use, tourism, cargo and mail carrying, business flights and aerial photography and can be used in patrol and ambulance services.
The high dynamic stability inherent to the triplane stipulates exclusive smoothness of flight and the aft location of the engine with a pusher propeller minimizes noise and vibration in the cabin.

The MOLNIYA-1 aircraft can be supplied in versions adapted for operation in the tropics, the Arctic region and on the sea coasts, and the wheeled landing gear can be replaced with skis or floats The application of low pressure tires and considerable power reserve permit to use it not only on the existing airdromes with artificial or ground coating, but on any even sites 500 meters and more long.

The F-4E, which took off on its maiden flight on June 30th 1967, became the leading Phantom model, with 1,389 planes built.
This model, with an additional fuselage fuel tank, leading-edge slats for increased maneuverability, and an improved engine, also has an internally mounted 20mm multibarrel gun with improved fire-control system.
In 1980 the IAF embarked upon the initial planning phase of the project for upgrading the plane. On 15 July 1987 the first prototype of the improved plane took off. It was dubbed the Kurnas 2000. Kurnas 2000, which entered service in the IAF on 09 April 1989, was different from the original Phantom mostly in its avionics.
McDonnell Douglas and the Israeli Aircraft Industries had both considered replacing the J79's with Pratt & Whitney PW1120. The IAI experimentally installed the new engines in a Phantom, and its performance was markedly enhanced, in terms of cruise speed and range.

The IF-16D is a two seat model of the popular plane, it's back seat is reserved for the Weapon System Operator.

This model was custom modified for the IAF, those modifications required a larger and stronger landing gear, and called for a different model designation, thus the Israeli F- 16D was designated as IF-16D.

The IF-16D is powered by a stronger General Electric F110-GE-100, with an enlarged air intake.

The first F-16D was received by the IAF, at December 21, 1987, marked with "The First Combat squadron" colors and the tail number of 031.

Fuga Magister "Tzukit" Author: Victor Egorov
A jet powered trainer that is used in the selection process in the IAF Flight School and and for training cadets. It was developed from the French Fouga Magister, that had served the IAF as both a jet combat plane and a trainer since 1960. The Fougas were radically revamped by the IAI and fitted for carrying advanced motors and equipment.

The first prototype of the Tzukit took to the air in September of 1980, and was handed over to the IAF in May of 1981 for initial testing. At the IAF's request certain modifications were carried out and included in the first serial Tzukit planes, which were delivered to the IAF in June of 1983. By 1986, all of the Tzukit planes created had been delivered to the IAF.

NORTH AMERICAN F-86A "SABRE" Author: Ed Wilson
The F-86, the USAF's first swept-wing jet fighter,
made its initial flight on October 1, 1947.
The first production model flew on May 20, 1948,
and on September 15, 1948, an F-86A set a new world
speed record of 670.9 mph.
Originally designed as a high-altitude day-fighter,
it was subsequently redesigned into an all-weather
interceptor (F-86D) and a fighter-bomber (F-86H).

Bell-X1 Author: Mat Recardo
The Bell X-1 was the first piloted plane to fly faster than the speed of sound. Flown by USAF Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager, the Bell X-1 rocketed to supersonic speeds for the first time on October 14, 1947, over Muroc Air Base (now Edwards Air Force Base) in the Mojave Desert. Prior to this historic flight, many people thought that any plane trying to fly faster than the speed of sound would break apart once it reached the "sound barrier"—and indeed, many planes that hadn't been properly designed for such high speeds were destroyed as they neared Mach 1. But the unique .50 caliber bullet shape of the Bell X-1, paired with its strong, super-thin wings and an adjustible horizontal stabilizer, made it a perfect vehicle for supersonic travel. As the Bell X-1 flight proved, the speed of sound isn't a barrier at all.

Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (OV-102) Author: Ilan Papini
Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first space shuttle in NASA's orbital fleet, first flying mission STS-1 from April 12 to April 14, 1981. It was lost with all crew when it disintegrated during re-entry on its 28th mission, STS-107, which lasted from January 16, 2003 to February 1, 2003.

Columbia, the oldest orbiter in the Shuttle fleet, was named after the Boston, Massachusetts based sloop captained by American Robert Gray.
