IMAGE Transall C-160 DWG The C-160 was originally conceived as a replacement for the French Air Force's Nord Nor atlas fleet. It is turboprop-powered and of conventional configuration for aircraft of this type, with high wings, and a loading ramp built into the rear of the fuselage. In size it falls between the Aeritalia G.222 and the C-130 Hercules.Three prototypes flew in 1963, followed by pre-production machines in 1965 and production machines from 1967. The first batch included 110 C-160Ds for the Luftwaffe, 50 C-160Fs for the French Air Force, and nine C-160Zs for the South African Air Force. Four C-160Fs were converted to C-160P air mail transport aircraft, and were operated by Air France. Production continued until 1972 with French aircraft built by Aérospatiale and German aircraft by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm.

IMAGE  TAYLOR CRAFT L2 In World War II, the AAF began using the L-2 in much the same manner as the observation balloon was used in France during World War I--spotting enemy troop and supply concentrations and directing artillery fire on them. It was also used for other types of liaison and transport duties and short-range reconnaissance which required airplanes that could land and
take off in minimum distances from unprepared landing strip

IMAGE  TUPOLOV T-144 

The Tu-144 was Tupolev's only supersonic commercial airliner venture. Tupolev's other large supersonic aircraft were designed and built to military specifications. All these aircraft benefited from technical and scientific input from TsAGI, the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. Although the Tu-144 was technically broadly comparable to Concorde, the Tu-144 lacked a passenger market within the Soviet Union and service was halted after only about 100 scheduled flights.

Temco's failure to secure a USAF order for the Buckaroo forced it to turn to foreign governments to keep the production lines going, yet only a few export orders materialized.

 IMAGE  Tupolev Tu-128 M (Fiddler) The Soviet Union had a long and illustrious history building large, unconventional aircraft, both bombers and fighters. The amazing Tu-128 was another example in that long line of designs. The Tu-128 was developed in the late 1950s with the primarily mission of countering the perceived threat of America’s new heavy bomber, the massive B-52 as well as the US Navy’s A-5 Vigilante and the proposed US Air Force’s B-70 supersonic heavy bomber. It to be huge in order to carry the massive R-4 long range, air-to-air missiles (NATO designation AA5-Ash) that could strike an incoming target nearly thirty seven miles away. The developmental phase of the Fiddler began in the mid 1950s and ran well into the early 1960s. What emerged was truly a revolutionary military aircraft.

HE 1929 NATIONAL Air Race spectators witnessed the beginning of a new era in commercial aviation. This was in the form of a sleek racing job built by the Travel Air Company of Wichita, Kansas. This racer, whose design and construction began in 1928, earned the name Travel Air "Mystery Ship". Its design and construction was a closely guarded project at the factory and even as it landed at the Cleveland airport to participate in the 1929 air races, the racer was hastily rolled into the hangar and hidden with a canvas cover.

  Tupolev Tu-124
 IMAGE
Developed from the medium-range Tupolev Tu-104, the Tu-124 was meant to meet Aeroflot's requirement for a regional airliner to supersede the Ilyushin Il-14. It was very similar to the Tu-104 (merely a scaled-down version). The two were hard to tell apart when seen at a distance. It was not a complete copy of the Tu-104, however. The Tu-124 included a number of refinements, including double-slotted flaps, a large centre-section airbrake, automatic spoilers, and the extension of the wings' trailing edge roots. It also included a drogue parachute to be used in the event of an emergency landing or landing on a slippery surface and low pressure tyres in the event of a rough landing surface. It also enjoyed better fuel efficiency, being the first transport aircraft fitted with turbofans.

The ANT-1 was Tupolev's first aircraft and was built out of metal, wood and aluminum. Aluminum was used in the wing partitions and ribs, and vertical and horizontal tailplanes, and a few other smaller areas. The other areas carrying weight were made of wood, with linen fabric covering the fuselage and wings

The Tupolev Tu-114 Rossiya (Russian: Tyполев Тy-114 Poccия) (NATO reporting name Cleat) is a turboprop powered long-range airliner designed by the Tupolev design bureau and built in the USSR from May 1955. The plane was the largest and fastest passenger plane of its era, and also had the longest range (10,900 km). Due to its wing and powerplant design, the Tu-114 was able to travel at speeds typical of modern jetliners (880 km/h). Able to accommodate 224 passengers, a more usual number was 170 provided with sleeping berths and a dining lounge. In 14 years of civilian service, the plane was noted for its high level of safety and reliability, and carried over six million passengers before being replaced by the jet-powered Il-62.

Tupolev Tu-104 The Tupolev Tu-104 (NATO reporting name: Camel) was a twin-engined medium-range turbojet-powered Soviet airliner and the world's first successful jet airliner. Although it was the fourth jet airliner to be launched (following, in order, the British de Havilland Comet, Canadian Avro Jetliner, and French Sud Caravelle), the Tu-104 was the second to enter regular service (with Aeroflot) and the first to provide a sustained and successful service (the Comet had been withdrawn following a series of crashes due to structural failure). The Tu-104 was the sole jetliner operating in the world between 1956 and 1958.

IMAGE Tupolev Tu-22 (Blinder)

The Tu-22 was originally intended as a supersonic replacement for the Tupolev Tu-16 bomber. Preliminary design of an aircraft to meet this requirement, designated Samolët 105 by Tupolev, was started in 1954, with the first prototype completed in December 1957, and making its maiden flight from Zhukovsky on 21 June 1958, flown by test pilot Yuri Alasheev.The availability of more powerful engines, and the TsAGI discovery of the Area rule for minimizing transonic drag, led to the construction of a revised prototype, the 105A. This first flew on 7 September 1959.
