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.

Čaj Heinkel He 100 was a German pre-World War II fighter aircraft design from Heinkel. Although it proved to be one of the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at the time of its development, the design was not ordered into series production. Approximately 19 prototypes and pre-production examples were built. None are known to have survived the war. The reason for the He 100 failing to reach production status is mostly unknown. Officially, the Luftwaffe rejected the He 100 to concentrate single-seat fighter development on the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Following the adoption of the Bf 109 and Messerschmitt Bf 110 as the Luftwaffe’s standard fighter types, the Ministry of Aviation (the Reichsluftfahrtministerium or RLM) announced a “rationalization” policy that placed fighter development at Messerschmitt and bomber development at Heinkel.

Čaj De Havilland Vampir je britanski mlazni borac razvijen i proizveden od strane de Havilland Aircraft Compani. Rad na avionu je počeo tokom Drugog svetskog rata kao uglavnom eksperimentalni avion pogodan za borbu koja je iskoristila revolucionarnu inovaciju mlaznog pogona; brzo je odlučeno da se odluče za jednomotorni, tvin-bum aviona opremljenog Halford H.KSNUMKS turbomlaznim motorom (kasnije de Havilland Goblin). Prvobitno naređen samo kao eksperimentalni avion, odluka da se masovno proizvede avion kao presretač za Kraljevsko ratno vazduhoplovstvo (RAF) je završena u maju KSNUMKS.

Čaj Dassault MD.452 Mystère is a 1950s French fighter-bomber. After the success of the Ouragan, Dassault was working on a more advanced machine based on it, which would take to the air in early 1951 as the MD.452 Mystère I. The first prototype Mystère I was essentially an Ouragan with a 30-degree swept wing and modified tail surfaces. Two further prototypes followed, powered by the Rolls-Royce Tay 250 centrifugal-flow turbojet, an improved version of the Rolls-Royce Nene, built under license by Hispano-Suiza, and rated at 28.0 kN (6,300 lbf) thrust.
