2007 BAC Jet Provost on Briti reaktiivtreeninglennuk, mida kasutati kuninglikes õhujõududes (RAF) aastatel 1955–1993. Algselt töötas selle välja Hunting Percival varasemast kolbmootoriga Percival Provost põhitreeningkoolist ja hiljem tootis seda Briti Lennukikorporatsioon (BAC). Lisaks mitmetele RAF-i tellimustele eksporditi Jet Provost, mõnikord kergerelvastusega, paljudele õhujõududele üle maailma. Disaini arendati edasi ka raskemalt relvastatud maapealse rünnaku variandiks BAC Strikemasteri nime all.

2007 Sd.Kfz. 250 (German: Sonderkraftfahrzeug 250; ‘special motor vehicle’) was a light armoured half-track, very similar in appearance to the larger Hanomag-designed Sd.Kfz. 251, and built by the DEMAG firm, for use by Nazi Germany in World War II. Most variants were open-topped and had a single access door in the rear. The Sd. Kfz 250 was adopted in 1939 to supplement the standard half-track. Production delays meant that the first vehicle did not appear until mid-1941.

Ehitatud400

2007 Schneider CA 1 (originally named the Schneider CA) was the first French tank, developed during the First World War. The Schneider was inspired by the need to overcome the stalemate of trench warfare which on the Western Front prevailed during most of the Great War. It was designed specifically to open passages for the infantry through barbed wire and then to suppress German machine gun nests. After a first concept by Jacques Quellennec devised in November 1914, the type was developed from May 1915 onwards by engineer Eugène Brillié, paralleling British development of tanks the same year. Colonel Jean Baptiste Eugène Estienne in December 1915 began to urge for the formation of French armoured units, leading to an order in February 1916 for four hundred Schneider CA tanks, which were manufactured by SOMUA, a subsidiary of Schneider located in a suburb of Paris, between September 1916 and August 1918.

2007 Opel Olympia is a compact car produced by the German automaker Opel from 1935 to 1940, from 1947 to 1953 and again from 1967 to 1970. The 1935 Olympia was Germany’s first mass-produced car with an all-steel unitized body (monocoque). This revolutionary technology reduced the weight of the car by 180 kilograms (400 lb.) compared to its predecessor. Production of the unibody design required new production methods and materials. Spot welding, advanced types of steel, and a new production line layout were among the many advances introduced by the Olympia.

2007 Bartini Beriev VVA-14 Vertikaľno-Vzletayushchaya Amfibiya (vertikaalne start amfiiblennuk) oli 1970. aastate alguses Nõukogude Liidus välja töötatud tiib-in-ground-effect lennuk. Kavandatud nii, et oleks võimalik veest õhku tõusta ja lennata suurel kiirusel pikkade vahemaade tagant, oli see teha tõelisi lende suurel kõrgusel, kuid ka võimeline lendama tõhusalt just merepinna kohal, kasutades aerodünaamilist maaefekti. VVA-14 kujundas Itaalia päritolu disainer Robert Bartini vastuseks tajutavale nõudele hävitada Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe Polarise raketiallveelaevad. Viimane lennuk läks pensionile 1987. aastal.

Ehitatud2

2007 Lun-klassi ekranoplan (also called Project 903) is a ground effect vehicle (GEV) designed by Rostislav Alexeyev in 1975 and used by the Soviet and Russian navies from 1987 until sometime in the late 1990s. It flew using lift generated by the ground effect acting on its large wings when within about four metres (13 ft) above the surface of the water. Although they might look similar to traditional aircraft, ekranoplans like the Lun are not classified as aircraft, seaplanes, hovercraft, or hydrofoils. Rather, crafts like the Lun-class ekranoplan are classified as maritime ships by the International Maritime Organization due to their use of the ground effect, in which the craft glides just above the surface of the water.

2007 Lühike S.25 Sunderland was a British flying boat patrol bomber, developed and constructed by Short Brothers for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The aircraft took its service name from the town (latterly, city) and port of Sunderland in North East England. Developed in parallel with the civilian S.23 Empire flying boat, the flagship of Imperial Airways, the Sunderland was developed specifically to conform to the requirements of British Air Ministry Specification R.2/33 for a long-range patrol/reconnaissance flying boat to serve with the Royal Air Force (RAF). As designed, it served as a successor to the earlier Short Sarafand flying boat. Sharing several similarities with the S.23, it featured a more advanced aerodynamic hull and was outfitted with various offensive and defensive armaments, including machine gun turrets, bombs, aerial mines, and depth charges. The Sunderland was powered by four Bristol Pegasus XVIII radial engines and was outfitted with various detection equipment to aid combat operations, including the Leigh searchlight, the ASV Mark II and ASV Mark III radar units, and an astrodome.
