Boeing 707

Boeing’s 707 wasn’t the world’s first jet, but it was the world’s first big selling jet. 

The world was ready for a new airliner, after the second world war air traffic grew, in civilian and cargo transport, larger faster aircraft were needed. Boeing was exactly on time with her 707.

Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon

In March 1993 the Fort Worth division of General Dynamics was sold to Lockheed, and the aircraft is now known as the Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The F-16 is world’s most successful warplane of recent times, over 4.000 Falcons have been build.

The prototype YF-16 (72-1567) rolled out at Fort Worth on 13 December 1973, and was delivered by C-5A Galaxy to Edwards AFB California. During high speed taxi testing on 20 January 1974 test-pilot Phil Oestricher had to take-off with his YF-16, followed by the first official flight on 2 February 1974.

Delivery of the first operational USAF F-16A and F-16B began in January 1979, with the 388th TFW at Hill AFB, Utah. The first European F-16 (FB-01) was delivered to the Belgian Air Force also in January 1979. The Netherlands accepted their first F-16B (J-259) in February 1979.

The F-16C/D models introduce more high-tech for night operations, a new Hughes APG-68 multi-mode radar with increased range, sharper resolution and more operating modes. The first F-16C Flew 19 June 1984. To recognize the C/D models, note the antenna on the tail-fin.

Since 1992 the European Partners ( Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Denmark) working together at the Mid-Life-Update program. The MLU program was designed to bring the Block 15 aircraft up to the standards of the Block 50/52 F-16C/D, in particular to give them the capability of carrying and launching Beyond Visual Range weapons such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM, together with the ability to carry out precision weapons delivery missions at night and in adverse weather.  The first MLU aircraft flew in April of 1995. By early 1998, conversions were being carried out in all four countries. Present plans are for 48 Belgian, 61 Danish, 156 Dutch, and 56 Norwegian F-16A/Bs to go through the MLU program. The program is scheduled with software updates to continue into 2009.

Aérospatiale/British Aerospace Concorde

Aerospatiale joined with British Aerospace to create supersonic transport (SST) Concorde airliner, the first example of which flew on March 2, 1969. The development costs of the Concorde were so great that they could never be recovered from operations, so, for reasons of national prestige, they were simply written off. The Concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from London Heathrow (British Airways) and Paris Charles de Gaulle (Air France) to New York JFK and Washington Dulles, but its noise and operating expense limited its service. With only 20 aircraft ultimately built, and 14 went into service.

 

On 25 July 2000 an Air France Concorde (F-BTSC) crashed in Gonesse, France, in take-off from Charles de Gaulle Airport. All 100 passengers and nine crew on board the flight, as well as four people on the ground, were killed. 

Operations ceased on 24 October 2003. The last “retirement” flight occurred on 26 November that year. The Concorde proved a technical miracle but an economic disaster.

 

Beriev Be-200

The Beriev Be-200 is an amphibious multirole turbofan aircraft designed by the Berieva Aviatsionnyi Kompaniya (Beriev Aviation Company), with the Russian Irkutsk Aircraft Production Association (IAPO) responsible for the production engineering development phase of the program. The first flight took place in 1998 and the aircraft was first seen in the west at the 1999 Paris Air Show.

The Be-200 was first developed for firefighting missions. It can start, take-off and land on water and can carry a load of 12 tons of water.

Multirole aircraft

 

The multirole aircraft can be configured as a freighter, a passenger aircraft (Be-210) or as an amphibious water drop fire-fighting aircraft. The aircraft can also be equipped for special missions, such as an air ambulance for 30 stretcher patients and seven seated patients or medical crew.

In the search and rescue role, the aircraft is equipped with searchlights and sensors, and a suite of medical equipment. The aircraft is also capable of being configured for an anti-submarine warfare role and fitted with equipment to the customer country’s operational requirements.

Fire-fighter

The fire-fighter aircraft has 12m³ ferric aluminum alloy water tanks under the cabin floor in the centre fuselage section. There are four retractable water scoops, two installed forward of the step and two after the step. The water tanks can be removed quickly for carrying cargo. Fire-retarding chemicals can be added to the water using a centrifugal pump. There are six tanks for these substances, with a total volume of 1.2m³, installed on the aircraft.

British Aerospace 146

The BAe 146, a medium sized airliner (‘the Whisperjet’) built by British Aerospace (now BAE Systems).

The first production models were built in 1983 and the last aircraft were built in 2002. In these years the aircraft was improved to the last model the AVRO RJX.

In the 19 years of production 387 aircraft were produced.

Avro RJ70, Avro RJ85, Avro RJ100

The Avro RJ was developed from the BAe 146, the major changes being:

•  Honeywell LF507 engines, with significantly lower operating temperatures for reduced maintenance costs and increased thrust under “hot and high” conditions. Electronic FADEC engine and APU controls.
•  All digital, ARINC 700, avionics with Cat IIIa low weather-minima landing capability (with Cat IIIb available as an option).
•  New Space liner passenger cabin with increased comfort and improved appearance.
•  Developed design weights, reduced drag and increased cruising altitude which increase range, economy and operational flexibility.

Avro RJX-85, Avro RJX-100

Based on the success of its Avro RJ and BAe 146 series of regional jets, BAE SYSTEMS has launched the new Avro RJX, with advanced Honeywell AS977 engines. The Avro RJX offers the highest airfield performance of any regional jet, combined with an outstanding passenger cabin with enormous flexibility in seating layouts. Due to enter service in April 2002, the Avro RJX is well advanced with two aircraft (an RJX-85 and an RJX-100) already taking part in flight test and another RJX-100 due to join the program.

BAe Systems announced on November 27th 2001, that the production of the 146-, RJ and RJX series would be stopped after completion of the four aircraft in production at that date.
