The Taylorcraft Model 20AG
is a monoplane designed and built by Taylorcraft Aircraft as a dimages\TAYLORCRAFT-L2.jpgevelopment
of the earlier experimental Model 18. The Model 20 was constructed of moulded
fibreglass over a tubular framework. It had a conventional landing gear and
a nose-mounted 225hp (168kW) Continental O-470-J engine. |

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 |

The Temco TE-1 or T-35 Buckaroo was designed in the late 1940s as an extremely low-cost trainer for commercial and export markets. 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. |

The Katana is a single seat display and competition aerobatic aircraft manufactured in Milan by Pietro Terzi Ltd. It is an all metal aircraft with composite undercarriage, powered by a Lycoming IO-720 engine driving a four blade constant speed wooden propeller. It is stressed to +/- 12 G with a roll rate of 400 deg/s., a maximum level speed of 360 km/h (220 Mph) and a stall speed of 98 km/h (60 Mph). |

The Thomas-Morse MB-3 was an open-cockpit biplane fighter primarily manufactured by the Boeing Company for the U.S. Army Air Service in 1922. The MB-3A was the mainstay fighter for the Air Service between 1922 and 1925. |

The T.66 Tipsy Nipper is a light aircraft, developed in 1952 by Ernest Oscar Tips of Avions Fairey at Gosselies in Belgium. It was designed to be easy to fly, cheap to buy and cheap to maintain. It was designed for both factory production and homebuild. The nickname "Nipper" was the nickname of Ernest Tip's first grandchild. The first aircraft flew on 12 December 1957 . |

THE 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. |

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. |

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 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. |

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. |
