Čaj Supermarin morž (originally known as the Supermarine Seagull V) was a British single-engine amphibious biplane reconnaissance aircraft designed by R. J. Mitchell and first flown in 1933. It was operated by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) and also served with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). It was the first British squadron-service aircraft to incorporate in one airframe a fully retractable main undercarriage, completely enclosed crew accommodation and all-metal fuselage. Designed for use as a fleet spotter to be catapult launched from cruisers or battleships, the Walrus was later employed in a variety of other roles, most notably as a rescue aircraft for downed aircrew. It continued in service throughout the Second World War.

Čaj Percival P.56 Provost was a British basic trainer that was developed for the Royal Air Force in the 1950s as a replacement for the Percival Prentice. It was a low-wing monoplane with a fixed, tailwheel undercarriage and like the Prentice had a side-by-side seating arrangement. The Provost has the distinction of being the last piston-engine basic trainer aircraft to be operated by the RAF. The Provost was later adapted to make use of a turbojet engine, producing the BAC Jet Provost. The type was withdrawn in the 1960s, in favour of its jet-powered successor.

Čaj Boulton Paul Defiant was a British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. The Defiant was designed and built by Boulton Paul Aircraft as a “turret fighter”, without any forward-firing guns, a concept successfully used in the First World War-era Bristol F.2 Fighter and also implemented by the Royal Navy’s Blackburn Roc. In combat, the Defiant was found to be reasonably effective at its intended task of destroying bombers but was vulnerable to the Luftwaffe’s more manoeuvrable, single-seat Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. The lack of forward-firing armament proved to be a great weakness in daylight combat and its potential was realised only when it was converted to night fighting. It was supplanted in the night fighter role by the Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito. The Defiant found use in gunnery training, target towing, electronic countermeasures and air-sea rescue. Among RAF pilots it had the nickname “Daffy”.

Čaj Hawker Nimrod was a British carrier-based single-engine, single-seat biplane fighter aircraft built in the early 1930s by Hawker Aircraft. The Nimrod had an overall similarity to the Fury: it was a single-seater biplane with an open cockpit, fixed undercarriage and guns firing through the propeller. Its unswept, constant chord, round-tipped wings had an unequal span and strong stagger, the latter partly to enhance the pilot’s view. It was a single bay biplane braced with outward-leaning N-form interplane struts, with the upper plane held a little above the upper fuselage by cabane struts. The fabric-covered wings had metal spars and spruce ribs and carried balanced ailerons only on the upper wings.

kamion, komunalno, 1/4-tona, 4×4, M151 (M151) je bio naslednik Korejskog rata M38 i M38A1 jeep Light Utility Vehicles. Obično se naziva "džip" ili "četvrt tone", proizveden je od 1959. do 1982. godine i služio je u Vijetnamskom ratu. M151 je imao monokok dizajn što ga čini prostranijim od prethodnih jeep dizajna, i ugrađen nezavisnu suspenziju sa spiralnim oprugama. Od tada je zamenjen većim AM General HMMVV u većini komunalnih uloga u upotrebi na prvoj liniji. Sa nekim M151A2 jedinica još uvek u američkoj vojnoj službi u 1999, M151 serija postigla duži niz službe nego što je u VV2 MB / GPV, M38, i M38A1 serije u kombinaciji.

Čaj Heinkel He 219 Uhu ("Orao-Sova") bio je noćni borac koji je služio sa nemačkim Luftvafeom u kasnijim fazama Drugog svetskog rata. Relativno sofisticiran dizajn, He 219 je posedovao mnoštvo inovacija, uključujući Lichtenstein SN-2 napredni radar za presretanje VHF benda, takođe korišćen na Ju 88G i Bf 110G noćnim borcima. To je takođe bio prvi operativni vojni avion koji je bio opremljen sedištima za izbacivanje i prvim operativnim avionima iz drugog svetskog rata sa opremom za sletanje tricikla. Da je Uhu bio dostupan u količini, to bi možda imalo značajan efekat na stratešku noćnu ofanzivu kraljevskog vazduhoplovstva; ali, samo 294 od svih modela je izgrađeno do kraja rata i ovi su videli samo ograničenu službu. Ernst-Vilhelm Modrou je bio vodeći noćni borbeni as na He 219. Modrow je zaslužan za 33 od 34 pobede u noćnom vazduhu tog tipa.

Čaj Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Strela") je bio težak borac iz Drugog svetskog rata koji je izgradila kompanija Dornier. Verzija dvoseda se takođe zvala Ameisenbär ("anteater"). Pfeil-ove performanse su mnogo bolje od ostalih dvomotornih dizajna zbog jedinstvenog rasporeda "push-pull" i mnogo nižeg aerodinamičnog prevlačenja in-line poravnavanja dva motora. To je bio najbrži nemački piston-motorni avion Drugog svetskog rata. Luftvafe je očajnički želeo da dizajn uđe u operativnu upotrebu, ali kašnjenja u isporuci motora značila su da je samo nekolicina isporučena pre nego što se rat završio.

Čaj Tupoljev Tu-22m (на језику: Туплев Ту-22М; Ime za izveštavanje NATO-a: Backfire) je supersonično krilo promenljivog čišćenja, dalekometni strateški i pomorski udarni bombarder koji je razvio Biro za dizajn Tupoljev. Prema nekim izvorima, verovalo se da je bombaš u jednom trenutku označen kao Tu-26. Tokom Hladnog rata, Tu-22M je upravljalo sovjetskim vazduhoplovnim snagama (VVS) u strateškoj ulozi bombardovanja, a sovjetska pomorska avijacija (Aviacija Vojenno-Morskogo Flota, AVMF) u dalekometnoj pomorskoj anti-brodskoj ulozi. [2] Značajni brojevi ostaju u službi ruskih vazduhoplovnih snaga, a od 2014. godine više od 100 Tu-22M je u upotrebi.

Čaj Daglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seat subsonic carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta winged, single turbojet engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy’s pre-1962 designation system. The Skyhawk is a relatively lightweight aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg) and has a top speed of more than 670 miles per hour (1,080 km/h). The aircraft’s five hardpoints support a variety of missiles, bombs and other munitions. It was capable of carrying a bomb load equivalent to that of a World War II-era Boeing B-17 bomber, and could deliver nuclear weapons using a low-altitude bombing system and a “loft” delivery technique. The A-4 was originally powered by the Wright J65 turbojet engine; from the A-4E onwards, the Pratt & Whitney J52 was used. Skyhawks played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War. Sixty years after the aircraft’s first flight in 1954, some of the 2,960 produced (through February 1979) remain in service with several air arms around the world.
