Wingspan: 8.5 m
Engines: 1 PD (piston engine) Oberursel U.0, 80 hp
Maximum speed: 132 km/h
Service ceiling: 3000 m
Practical range: 200 kmThe aircraft received the nickname Fokker scourge (“punishing” Fokker). The aircraft was so effective as a fighter that the British forbade their pilots to fly over the front line alone, since in a one-on-one meeting other aircraft simply had no chance against the Fokker, armed with a 7.92 mm LMG 08 machine gun. /15 Spandau. One of the Fokker E.I (Eindecker means monoplane), captured in 1916, is now on display at the London Science Museum.
The first production vertical take-off and landing combat aircraft: the Hawker Siddeley Harrier
Country: UK
First flight: 1967
Maximum take-off weight: 11500 kg
Wingspan: 7.7 m
Engines: 1 Rolls Royce Pegasus Mk.103 turbojet engine thrust 8750 kgf
Maximum speed: 1185 km/h
Service ceiling: 15000 m
Maximum range: 1900 kmFirst in the world is easy vertical takeoff and landing attack aircraft/fighter. Since 1967, 257 cars have been built various modifications, including 110 AV-8A aircraft, manufactured under license in the USA by McDonnell Douglas, which were in service with the Royal Air Force, the Spanish and Thai Navy and the Corps Marine Corps USA. The vehicle saw action during the Falklands War, where 20 Harriers based on the British aircraft carriers Hermes and Invincible shot down 21 Argentine aircraft.
Fastest aircraft: Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
Country: USA
First flight: 1964
Maximum take-off weight: 77 t
Wingspan: 17 m
Engines: 2 Pratt Whitey J58-P4 turbofan engines
Maximum speed: 3500 km/h
Service ceiling: 26,000 m
Practical range: 5200 km (subsonic)US Air Force strategic high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. The first aircraft in the world created using radar signature reduction technologies. Titanium alloys were used in its design, since due to the high flight speed the casing was heated to 400–500°C. A total of 32 vehicles were built (12 were lost during operation). In 1976, the SR-71 set the official absolute speed record for manned aircraft - 3529.56 km/h, which has not been broken to this day. The aircraft made reconnaissance flights over Vietnam and North Korea in 1968, during cold war over the territory of the USSR and Cuba, and in 1973 it was used for reconnaissance of the territory of Egypt, Syria and Jordan during the Arab-Israeli war. The plane was “armed” with electronic and photo reconnaissance devices and side-view radar. In addition to the US Air Force and the CIA, the SR-71 was operated by NASA as a flying laboratory as part of the AST (Advanced Supersonic Technology) and SCAR (Supersonic Cruise Aircraft Research) programs.
The first multi-engine aircraft: “Russian Knight”
Country: Russia
First flight: 1913
Normal take-off weight: 4000 kg
Wing span: upper – 27 m, lower – 20 m
Engines: 4 piston Argus, 4x100 hp.
Maximum speed: 90 km/h
Service ceiling: 600 m
Practical range: 170 kmThe world's first multi-engine aircraft, which laid the foundation for the creation of heavy aviation. The plane was designed by the outstanding aircraft designer Igor Sikorsky. The device made its first flight in May 1913, and already in August of the same year a world record for flight duration was set - 1 hour 54 minutes. Another outstanding example became its direct follower aviation technology XX century - the plane "Ilya Muromets".
The first turbojet combat aircraft: Messerschmitt Me-262
Country: Germany
First flight: 1942
Normal take-off weight: 6400 kg
Wingspan: 12.5 m
Engines: 2 turbojet engines Junkers Jumo 004B-1, thrust 2x900 kgf
Maximum speed: 850 km/h (at altitude)
Service ceiling: 11000 m
Practical range: 1040 kmPowered by Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet engines, this aircraft, which made its first flight in 1942, was so superior to traditional fighters in such characteristics as speed and rate of climb that it was quite suitable for the often used description of “miracle”. Although the aircraft was originally conceived as a fighter, Hitler demanded that it be turned into a bomber, invulnerable to enemy fighters due to its speed and altitude. However, the Luftwaffe command considered this decision to be erroneous. As a result, by 1944 the aircraft was not ready either as a fighter or as a bomber. The first victims of the Me-262 in the summer of 1944 were the Mosquito and Spitfire, whose speed and flight altitude could no longer serve as reliable protection against jet fighters. In the autumn of the same year, Me-262s showed their capabilities as jet bombers, destroying bridges in Nimwegen and Remagen and the English airfield in Endhoven. And although in general the successes of the Me-262 were quite modest, they clearly showed in which direction it would develop military aviation in the future.
Highest altitude fighter: MiG-25 interceptor fighter
Country: USSR
First flight: 1964
Maximum take-off weight: 41 t
Wingspan: 14 m
Engines: 2 TRDF R-15B-300
Maximum speed: 3000 km/h (at altitude)
Service ceiling: 24700 m
Practical range: 1730 km (subsonic)This is the world's first serial fighter to reach a speed of 3000 km/h. In 1961, at the OKB A.I. Mikoyan began designing an aircraft capable of intercepting a promising supersonic strategic bomber North American XB-70 Valkyrie. The aircraft with the factory code E-155 made its first flight in March 1964, and began serial production. The aircraft, called E-266, became the record holder for the number of world records set on it: speed on various closed routes (100/500/1000 km) and on a base of 15/25 km, rate of climb and absolute altitude flight (on July 22, 1977, A.V. Fedotov reached an altitude of 37,800 m on this plane). Some of these records have not yet been broken. Since the plane developed high speed, and the casing was heated to almost 300°C, stainless steel, titanium and heat-resistant aluminum alloys were chosen as the main structural materials. Until the early 1990s, the MiG-25, in its interceptor version, formed the basis of the air defense of the USSR Air Force. The aircraft was produced in an interceptor version, as well as in reconnaissance and reconnaissance-strike versions. Currently, Russia has several dozen MiG-25RB reconnaissance bombers in service.
Longest-surviving bomber: Boeing B-52 Stratofortress
Country: USA
First flight: 1952 (B-52A)
Maximum take-off weight: 220 t

Maximum speed: 1000 km/h
Service ceiling: 15000 m
Maximum flight range: 16200 kmThe most widespread heavy bomber in and, moreover, the record holder for active longevity among all combat aircraft. From 1952 to 1962, almost 750 aircraft of eight modifications were produced, but the B-52H version of the aircraft is still in service with the US Air Force. 75 of them will serve until 2040, which will allow this bomber to become the longest-serving aircraft in history (it is also considered the longest-range record holder). The B-52 was created as a carrier nuclear weapons, and constant combat duty These bombers were only phased out in 1991. The aircraft took an active part in the Vietnam War, as well as in all recent regional wars and conflicts.
The most popular jet aircraft: MiG-15 fighter
Country: USSR
First flight: 1947
Normal take-off weight: 4800 kg
Wingspan: 10 m
Engines: 1 TRD RD-45F, thrust 2270 kgf
Maximum speed: 1030 km/h
Service ceiling: 15200 m
Practical range: 1300 kmAircraft with the factory name I-310 were equipped with British Rolls-Royce Nene engines. The design of this engine was taken as the basis for the production of the first Soviet turbojet engine VK-1 (RD-45), which was used to equip aircraft called the MiG-15. These fighters have become a real star Korean War, they also fought in China and the Middle East. This fighter became the most produced aircraft in the history of jet aviation - taking into account licensed production in other countries, more than 15,000 aircraft were produced and used in 40 countries. The last MiG-15s were withdrawn from service with the Albanian Air Force in 2005.
Most stealth strike aircraft: Lockheed Martin F-117A Nighthawk
Country: USA
First flight: 1981
Normal take-off weight: 23600 kg

Maximum speed: 970 km/h
Service ceiling: 13700 m
Combat radius: 920 kmThe world's only light bomber, made using stealth technology, was mass-produced from 1982 to 1991, with a total of 59 aircraft built. Designed to covertly overcome enemy air defense systems and deliver high-precision strikes on important ground targets, for what purpose can it be carried guided bombs and guided missiles (maximum combat load - 2670 kg). He took part in combat operations in Panama, both wars in Iraq and the operation against Yugoslavia. In 2008 it was withdrawn from service. Information about the efficiency of the aircraft is contradictory, but its very existence is a clear illustration of the skill of aircraft designers who were able to make such an exotic machine fly.
First production fifth-generation fighter: Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
Country: USA
First flight: 1990
Normal take-off weight: 38 t
Wingspan: 13.6 m
Engines: 2 turbofans Pratt Whitney F119-PW-100, thrust 2x15600 kgf
Maximum speed: 2410 km/h
Service ceiling: 19800 m
Combat radius: 760 kmThe first in the world and so far the only serial multirole fighter fifth generation, which implements all the features of aircraft of this type: stealth (stealth technology), super-maneuverability, supersonic cruising flight, high degree automation, piloting processes, navigation, target detection and weapons use. The main weapons are located in the internal compartments. The first flight of the pre-production vehicle took place in September 1997. It was planned to purchase 384 aircraft for the US Air Force, but due to the crisis and the high cost of the aircraft (this is the most expensive fighter in history, its cost is about $150 million), the program was reduced to 188 aircraft.
Faculty aviation weapons“Air Force Academy named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky and Yu.A. Gagarin" (Voronezh) is the successor of the historical heritage and continuer of the glorious traditions of the Faculty of Aviation Weapons of the Air Force Engineering Academy named after. NOT. Zhukovsky, as well as the faculties of aviation weapons of the Kyiv, Riga, Tambov, Irkutsk, Daugavpils and Stavropol higher military aviation engineering schools.
In April 1930, an aviation weapons specialty was created at the academy's engineering faculty. In February 1931, the first group of aviation weapons engineers was graduated and the Aviation Weapons cycle was created.
The Faculty of Aviation Weapons was formed as an independent division of the academy by order No. 196 of the Air Force of the Red Army named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky dated November 1, 1934.
In 1934, the faculty included 6 departments: bomber weapons, fire, small arms and cannon weapons, sights and instruments, ballistics, chemical protection.
In addition to the departments, the faculty included: a computer bureau, a design bureau, training workshops and the so-called fire laboratory. V.S. was appointed the first head of the faculty. Connert. The heads of the departments were professors D.A. Wentzel, E.L. Bravin, M.P. Soloviev, M.N. Nikolsky, S.S. Rukavishnikov and Z.P. Lyubimov
At the time of the organization of the faculty in 1934, there were two professors D.A. Wentzel, E.L. Bravin and one associate professor - V.S. Pugachev. In 1936, a new head came to the faculty - Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor M.V. Gurevich.
Faculty scientists had a decisive influence on the development of aviation weapons in the pre-war period: N.G. Bruevich, V.S. Pugachev, D.A. Wentzel, E.D. Bravin, M.V. Gurevich, V.I. Sassaparelle, M.P. Soloviev, A.I. Arbuzov and others.
Since 1941, Colonel M.P. became the head of the faculty. Soloviev
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War scientific and academic work The faculty is being restructured on a military scale. Accelerated courses for training engineers are being formed. Faculty teachers solve practical problems to help the front, conduct serious design work. M.P. Soloviev and A.I. Arbuzov, together with the Air Force Research Institute, developed one of the methods of aiming from a dive, which was immediately introduced into combat practice. M.K. Tsvetkov developed a sight for the IL-2 attack aircraft. Faculty teacher G.A. Zhirnykh is the co-author of the NS-37 gun. Faculty teacher G.M. Mozharovsky is the author of a number of machine gun turrets. Head of the Department aviation ammunition V.I. Sassaparilla had a decisive influence on solving the very pressing problem of using captured aerial bombs from domestic aircraft. The idea of G.I. Pokrovsky's concept of a cumulative explosion was immediately implemented in anti-tank bombs. In 1944, the faculty organized a specialization for the training of aviation engineers missile weapons and a corresponding department was created headed by Associate Professor E.Ya. Grigoriev. Then the head of the department was Professor V.S. Pugachev.
At the end of the 50s, the faculty was headed by Colonel K.V. Slavic. During this period, interest in computer technology grew, and a department was created at the faculty. computer technology military use, led by Academician N.G. Bruevich.
Since 1970, for more than twenty years, the faculty has been headed by Major General D.I. Gladkov, during this period the faculty included nine departments, scientific schools created by academicians, doctors of sciences continued to develop: V.S. Pugachev, N.G. Bruevich, V.A. Protopopov, E.I. Zababakhin, G.I. Pokrovsky, D.A. Ventzelem, Yu.A. Kochetkov, L.Z. Kriksunov, I.E. Kazakov, R.S. Sarkisyan, L.N. Vorobyov, E.A. Kuveko, A.K. Ganulych, V.P. Sirnev.
At the turn of the century, the faculty was headed by Colonel A.I. Buravlev, Major General V.A. Konurkin, Colonel A.A. Morozov.
Twice Hero among faculty graduates Soviet Union cosmonaut V.M. Komarov, four Heroes of the Soviet Union and Hero of Socialist Labor, six laureates of the Lenin and State Prizes, four academicians and corresponding members of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
