Soyuz Scientific Production Association
Soyuz Scientific Production Association (russian: Московское научно-производственное предприятие (МНПК) "Союз") is a company based in Moscow, Russia. The Moscow Soyuz Scientific Production Complex was founded by Alexander Mikulin as an experimental design bureau in 1943. Mikulin's wartime engine designs powered MiG-3 interceptors and Il-2 Shturmovik attack aircraft. Sergei Tumansky succeeded Mikulin as general director of the design bureau in 1956. As the Tumanskiy OKB, the bureau produced designs for the RD-9 (used in the MiG-19 Farmer), the RD-11/ RD-13/ RD-25 (used in the many variants of the MiG-21 Fishbed), the R-195 (used in the Su-25 Frogfoot), the R-15 (used in the MiG-25 Foxbat), the RU-19 auxiliary power unit, the R-27/ R-29 (used in the MiG-23/27 Flogger), and the R-79 (intended as the main thrust engine in the Yak-141 Freestyle). The engines designed by MNPK Soyuz are built by the Ufa Motor-Building Corporatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

VTOL
A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is one that can take off and land vertically without relying on a runway. This classification can include a variety of types of aircraft including helicopters as well as thrust-vectoring fixed-wing aircraft and other hybrid aircraft with powered rotors such as cyclogyros/cyclocopters and gyrodynes. Some VTOL aircraft can operate in other modes as well, such as CTOL (conventional take-off & landing), STOL (short take-off & landing), or STOVL (short take-off & vertical landing). Others, such as some helicopters, can only operate as VTOL, due to the aircraft lacking landing gear that can handle taxiing. VTOL is a subset of V/STOL (vertical or short take-off & landing). Some lighter-than-air aircraft also qualify as VTOL aircraft, as they can hover, takeoff and land with vertical approach/departure profiles. Electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs, are being developed along with more autonomous flight con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tu-214
The Tupolev Tu-204 (russian: Туполев Ту-204) is a twin-engined medium- range narrow-body jet airliner capable of carrying 210 passengers, designed by Tupolev and produced by Aviastar-SP and Kazan Aircraft Production Association. First introduced in 1989, it was intended to be broadly equivalent to the Boeing 757, with slightly lower range and payload, and had competitive performance and fuel efficiency in its class. It was developed for Aeroflot as a replacement for the medium-range Tupolev Tu-154 trijet. The latest version, with significant upgrades and improvements, is the Tu-204SM, which made its maiden flight on 29 December 2010. In April 2022, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) announced plans to assemble 70 Tu-214s by 2030 Design and development The Tu-204 was designed as a family of aircraft incorporating passenger, cargo, combi and quick-change variants. It is powered by either two Aviadvigatel PS-90 or Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. The Tu-204 is produced at tw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yak-141
The Yakovlev Yak-141 (russian: Яковлев Як-141; NATO reporting name "Freestyle"), also known as the Yak-41, is a Soviet supersonic vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL) fighter aircraft designed by Yakovlev. It was used for testing. Design and development Yakovlev always believed the Yak-38 to be an interim aircraft, developed to gain experience designing and developing military VTOL aircraft. Even before the Yak-38's introduction, the Soviet Navy desired a more comprehensive aircraft, with greater capabilities than the Yak-38 offered. The result was a design contract offered to Yakovlev in 1975. The requirement was for an aircraft with only one mission: air defense of the fleet. Unlike the Yak-38, this aircraft was to have sustained supersonic speed. Maneuverability, radar and weapons loads were expected to be similar to those of current front-line fighters. For the Soviet Navy this aircraft was to be their next generation VTOL fighter. For Yakovlev the aircraft was view ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
