The Su-9's fuselage and tail surfaces resembled those of the Su-7, but unlike the swept wing of that aircraft, the 'Fishpot' used a 53° delta wing with conventional slab tailplanes.
The Su-9 had primitive R1L radar in the shock cone and was armed with four K-5 (AA-1 'Alkali') beam-riding air-to-air missiles. Like all beam-riders, the K-5 was so limited as to be nearly useless for air-to-air combat. Unlike the Su-7 and later Su-15, no Su-9 carried cannon armament, although two fuselage pylons were reserved for the carriage of drop tanks.
Since the Mig-29A were in service,the limited fuel capacity was the biggest problem of this light tactical fighter.To meeting the specified range requirements,the designers of Mikoyan developed a project to enlarge the fuselage tank.But the special dorsal auxiliary air intakes cause that only the tank in the spine could be readily enlarged;its capacity was increased by 240 litres.The enlarged fuselage tank made the upper fuselage contour became convex instead of concave.Besides,the application of new pylons allows another two drop tanks be fitted under the wings.Fitting three drop tanks gave the fighter a ferry range of 3000km.
A series of new electronic countermeasures equipments were also be fitted on the aircraft,and ordnance load increased to 3200 kg.
The prototype of the Mig-29C(Izdeliye 9.13) took off for the first time on 4th May 1984.More than 400 'fatbacks' were built.233 of them remained in Russia after
The Douglas A-3“Skywarrior”was a strategic nuclear bomber developed for the US Navy. The aircraft had a largely conventional semi- monocoque fuselage, with two J57 turbojet engines in underwing nacelles, A-3's wings can be folded for storage below deck, radar-controlled tail turret and a crew of three. The A-3 Skywarrior project started in 1947,The prototype XA3D-1 first flew on 28 October 1952, entered service with the Navy Heavy Attack Squadron One in 1956.Production ended in 1961. Douglas total built 282 Skywarriors.
The Chengdu J-10B is the multi-role fighter developed from the J-10A Vigorous Dragon.The prototype took the first flight in December,2008.Now the J-10B has been put into production.
The J-10B made a lot of changes such like the DIS air intake,the new vertical tail antenna and some latest avionics which cann’t be identified from the appearance.
Different from the prototype,the production J-10B updated the avionics,some antennas were added.The first production J-10B are now in test and soon will be put into service.
The Messerschmitt Me262 was the first jet fighter in the world. Project work had begun at Messerschmitt as early as April 1939 on a new high-speed fighter plane the propulsion of which was to consist of the “turbine jet” system. And on 18 th July 1942 the Me262 took off on his first flight. The Me262 was powered by two Jumo 004B type engines giving the Me262 amaximum speed of870km/hat an altitude of6000m. Its service ceiling was11400mand its range was 1050km. Basic armament consists of 4 × 30mm MK108 cannon installed in the nose. In addition, 2 × 12 type R4Mrockets could be carried the wings.
