Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar – Снимки и видео

1. Летяща кола (име на военноморска и морската пехота, R4Q) е американски военен транспортен самолет, разработен от Втората световна война Феърчайлд С-82 Packet, предназначен да превозва товари, персонал, пациенти с отпадъци и механизирано оборудване, и да пусне товари и войски с парашут. Първият С-119 направи първоначалния си полет през ноември 1947, и по времето, когато производството е прекратено през 1955 г., повече от 1100 C-119 са построени. Способността му за теглене на товари и необичайния дизайн на двуметката бум са спечелили прякора "Flying Boxcar".

1. Летяща кола was a military transport aircraft developed by Fairchild Aircraft in the late 1940s. It was an improved version of the Fairchild C-82 Packet, which was designed during World War II to carry cargo, personnel, and paratroopers. The C-119 had a distinctive twin-boom tail that allowed easy access to the large cargo compartment. It could carry up to 14.5 tons of payload, 64 paratroopers, or 35 litter patients. It was powered by two radial engines, either Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major or Wright R-3350 Duplex Cyclone, depending on the model.
1. C-119 first flew in November 1947 and entered service with the US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps in 1950. It also served with several other countries, such as Canada, Belgium, Italy, and India. The C-119 was used in various missions, including airlift, air drop, medevac, and gunship. It was retired from US service in 1974, after more than 1,100 aircraft were built.
