 ISRAEL
(WARBIRD)
 IMAGE		   The Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir (Hebrew: כפיר‎, "Lion Cub") is an Israeli-built all-weather, multi-role combat aircraft based on a modified Dassault Mirage 5 airframe, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-made version of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine.

   IAR 12  DIR

 

Owing much to experience gained with the CV-11, being of similar configuration and mixed construction, the I.A.R.12, designed by Elie Carafoli, was aerodynamically more advanced than its predecessor. It was heavier and had a lower-powered engine, however. Flown for the first time in 1932, the I.A.R.12 had a mixed structure of duralumin and Romanian pine. The fuselage was covered by light alloy panels forward and fabric aft of the cockpit, the wings being fabric skinned. The engine was a 450hp Lorraine 12Eb of W type, and armament consisted of two 7.7mm Vickers machine guns. Only one prototype of the I.A.R.12 was built, development continuing with an improved model, the I.A.R.13.

    IAI-1123 Westwind  DIR

Since its purchase in 1976 (Model 1123), until today, this plane has transported the most senior officials, civilian and military for many countries, representing the Honduran military aviation. The airplane had 3 color schemes in its history (white 70s, White and Blue 80s, Blue Metallic 90s-cur). Since its original Enterprise was a WW IAI 1123 and then switch to a WW IAI 1124. Honduras and Panama (which have a Grumman Gulfstream IIB) are the only Central American countries with presidential aircraft.

    IAR 14  DIR The airplane was designed by IAR design bureau in 1933 and was an evolution from the IAR 12 prototype. It wasa cantilever low winged monoplane with a spatted main undercarriage with V-form legs and a single, open cockpit over the wing. The fuselage was of rectangular cross-section with a domed top built largely from wood (Romanian pine), with fabric covering aft of the cockpit and duralumin-skinned forwards. The engine was mounted on welded steel bearers attached to a duralumin fireproof bulkhead. The wings were buit around twin duralumin spars and pine and plywood ribs and had plywood leading edges. The centre section, let into the fuselage underside was duralumin covered, outer sections and ailerons fabric covered. The fixed tail was built of pine and plywood covered, the moving surfaces duralumin with fabric cover.

   IAR 15  DIR

 

 The IAR 15 was designed by Elie Carafoli for the Romanian Air Force. It was[1] a lightly armed low wing cantilever monoplane with a radial engine, fixed undercarriage and open cockpit.The wings were built around two dural spars with a mixture of wood and metal ribs. Their covering was dural on the centre section and fabric outboard. The fuselage was a steel tube structure covered with dural forward of the cockpit and fabric aft. The open cockpit was aft of the wing trailing edge. The tail was also built of steel tube and dural covered. The undercarriage was wide track, with vertical wire braced and faired legs carrying spatted main wheels.

 The experimental aircraft, built with the Yugoslavian state plant Of ikarus. It is developed in the general board of the aircraft industry (Generalne Of direkcije Of vazduhoplovne Of industrije) by engineer [Levachichem] and by Colonel [Beshlin] within the framework design tasks 1952 - 53 yr. Yugoslavian engineers tried to find optimum form for positioning two jet engines Of turbomeca Of marbord OF THE II.The project was closed after the first flight in 1952,
in which the aircraft was completely destroyed 		7

    Ilyushine Il-2 Stormovik

 

An incredible 36,000 I1-2 Shturmoviks were manufactured, making this the most numerous military aircraft in history. The I1-2 was called a 'flying tank',because it was havily armoured and had great firepower from its cannon and rockets.

    Ilyushine Il-18 (Coot)

 

 The llyushin Il-18 was developed in the mid-1950s to meet an Aeroflot requirement for a medium-range 75/100-seat transport, and the first prototype flew on 4 July 1957. Aeroflot inaugurated use of the type on its Moscow-Adler and Moscow-Alma-Ata routes on 20 April 1959, and eventually something more than 700 of these aircraft were built. Of the total built only small numbers entered military service, primarily for VIP transport.

  The Ilyushin Il-14 (NATO reporting name "Crate") was a Soviet twin-engine commercial and military personnel and cargo transport aircraft that first flew in 1950, and entered service in 1954. Il-14 was also manufactured in East Germany by VVB Flugzeugbau, in Czechoslovakia as the Avia 14, and in China under the Chinese designation Y-6. The Ilyushin Il-14 was typically replaced by the Antonov An-24 and Yakovlev Yak 40. 10

 The I.A.R.37 prototype was built to the design of engineers Grossu-Vizuru and Carp. Flown for the first time in 1937 by company pilot Max Manolescu, it was intended to meet an official requirement for a tactical bombing and reconnaissance aircraft. An unequal-span biplane, the I.A.R.37 had fixed main landing gear and was powered by an I.A.R. K.14 radial engine. Its three-man crew was accommodated beneath a continuous glazed canopy, the observer seated between pilot and gunner and provided with full dual controls, a Romanian-designed Estopey bomb-sight, radio and a camera. Defensive armament comprised four machine-guns and the offensive load 12 50kg bombs or six 100kg bombs on underwing racks 12

   Ikarus P-453 MW

 

 The Ikarus 452 was an experimental jet aircraft built in Yugoslavia in 1953. It was a stubby mid-wing cantilever monoplane of pod-and-boom configuration, with twin jets mounted one atop the other at the rear of the fuselage nacelle, with separate intakes for the lower engine (in the wing roots) and the upper engine (on the sides of the rear fuselage). The twin tails and horizontal stabiliser were carried at the ends of booms that extended rearwards from the wings, with a short fin extending from the top of the rear fuselage to also meet the stabiliser. The flying surfaces were sharply swept, and construction throughout was of an experimental alloy.Flight testing was carried out from mid 1953, with experience from the programme providing a basis for the production of the Soko Galeb.
