The name Apache stuck to the helicopter in 1981. This highly efficient machine has four-blade rotors driven by two General Electric T700-701 turbine engines with a capacity of 1696HP. The vestigial wings are fitted with conventional trailing edge flaps, and a plate tail improves longitudinal steering. The two-man crew takes seats one after the other in the armored cabin. The pilot's seat is in the rear, and the weapon operator \/ gunner is in the front. The key to the universal use of the helicopter are the TADS systems on the gunner's stand and the PNVS systems used by the pilot. The TADS is a target-tracking laser marker and rangefinder set and a forward-facing infrared sensor that is duplicated by the normal optics. The PNVS system is a developed FLIR system that allows you to pilot a helicopter just above the ground in order to prevent or delay detection by the enemy's anti-aircraft defense. Apache helicopters took part in the operation in Panama in 1989, during the Desert Storm in 1991, or the last conflict in Iraq (2003). At the end of 1990, the construction of a new version of the helicopter began, equipped with a Martin \/ Westinghouse Longbow millimeter radar installed above the head to control the weapons. It is used to control the Rockwell AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.

The prototype first flew in 1938, and serial production took place in 1938-1944. The last of the Hawk family, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, was, apart from the Republic P-47 and North American P-51 Mustang, the most widely built American fighter. By the time production ended in December 1944, the number of aircraft had exceeded 15,000. The development of the design began in 1937, when the prototype airframe of version 75 was adapted to accommodate the Allison V-1710-11 inline engine with a power of 1,167 HP. The aircraft became the first American design capable of flying at a speed of over 483 km\/h. The version for the RAF was called the Tomahawk Mk IIA. The aircraft had self-sealing fuel tanks and two 7.7mm machine guns mounted in the wing. The Tomahawk MkIIB had American radio equipment and were armed with six 7.7mm machine guns. Some American P-40s were modernized in 1941 for reconnaissance duties. They received the designation RP-40. At the same time, work was underway at Curtiss on the conversion of the Hawk 81-A. The changes included the installation of an Allison V-1710-39 engine with 1,167 hp, providing constant power to an altitude of 3,563 meters, adaptation to the installation of four 12.7mm machine guns in the wing and the installation of an under-fuselage unit that could be used to carry one 227 kg bomb or a jettisonable additional fuel tank. The US Army placed an order for these aircraft in September 1940, assigning them the designation P-40D. Over the next three years, Curtiss made every effort to expand the P-40's capabilities, creating numerous new versions of the aircraft. Despite these efforts, the Warhawk's performance was lower than that of contemporary Allied and Axis fighters.

The F-4 Phantom turned out to be a very successful machine, produced in several versions, exported to many countries and produced under license. The first versions are models from A to D intended for fighter-bombers. The next version is the F-4E, produced since 1967 as a long-range fighter. Reconnaissance versions were also created: RF-4B, RF-4C and RF-4E. The latest versions are the F-4F and F-4G Wild Weassel - these are electronic warfare planes and designed to fight the enemy radars.

Chance Vought took on the challenge, with the goal of fitting the most powerful of the available engines (i.e. the Pratt-Whitney Double Wasp engine) into the smallest possible airframe. The key was to place the clunky landing gear in the inverted, crooked wings that became the hallmark of the aircraft. The flight of the prototype took place on May 29, 1940, and the US Navy received its first serial Corsair on July 31, 1942. However, tests carried out by the US Navy on aircraft carriers revealed some flaws in the design, which meant that the first production series of the aircraft went to squadrons of the Marine Corps and operated from land bases. The first unit received by the F-4 was the VMF-124 at Gudalcanal. It quickly turned out that the new machine definitely surpasses all enemy machines and, in several respects, also the F-6 Hellcat. At the same time, however, it was very difficult to pilot and required great attention when landing. Interestingly, only up to 20% of Corsair missions took off from the decks of aircraft carriers, and throughout almost the entire war they remained primarily a machine of the Marine Corps.

In the course of production, three main military versions of this aircraft were created: T-34A (version dedicated to USAF), T-34B (version dedicated to US Navy) and T-34C (version with turboprop engine).

The first series batches required great skills from the pilots and showed an asymmetry of flight characteristics unseen in other Allied machines.

It was a worthy rival for German machines from the Albatros or Fokker factories. Several versions of the Camel were created during the war. The most important of them are: F.1 - fighter, F.1.3 - night fighter, TF1 - attack aircraft (Trench Fighter), 2F.1 - carrier-based fighter.

Since 1982, the aircraft has been delivered to linear units with General Electric F404-GE-402 engines as the propulsion unit. The aircraft is produced in several versions. The first were the F-18A (fighter) and F-18B (trainer). Foreign orders from Spain, Canada and Australia appeared quickly. In 1987, a version of the F-18C was created, adapted to the use of AMRAAM missiles. A year later, the two-seater F\/A-18D version of the F-18 entered service, adapted for operation in all weather conditions, which could serve as an attack aircraft. On its basis, the reconnaissance version of the R\/F-18D was created. The newest versions (the so-called Super Hornet) -F\/A-18E and F\/A-18F are highly modified versions of the F\/A-18D. They are characterized by an increased length of the fuselage, wingspan and their area. They also have new General Electric F414 engines and significantly expanded and modernized avionics. They were first presented in 1995. The EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft was also created on the basis of the F-18.

It was also the source of the squadron's unofficial name. The first aircraft on which the VFA-103 pilots flew were the FG-1D Corsair. In 1957, the unit was rearmed with the F-8 Crusader, as one of the first in the US Navy. At the turn of 1964\/1965, the VFA-103 began to be armed with the new F-4 Phantom machines. In 1983, however, it was rearmed with the new Grumman F-14A Tomcat fighters, armed with AIM-54 Phoenix missiles. Currently, the basic aircraft of the unit is the F \/ A-18F Super Hornet.

The Me-262 was the first combat jet in the history of aviation. The first flight with piston engines took place in 1941, and with turbojet engines on July 18, 1942. The first design of the airframe, designated P.1065, was presented in 1939 and, surprisingly, differed significantly from the final version. It was quickly decided to use oblique wings and test the airframe in flight with piston engines (Jumo210), which was successfully completed in 1941. As a result of problems with the target power unit (BMW003 engine), the first jet flight on the Me-262 took place with Junkers Jumo004 engines. Interestingly, the Me-262 was structurally ready for serial production at the end of 1942. However, his entry into the line was significantly delayed. Firstly, due to material deficiencies (especially tungsten and chrome deficiencies), which forced technological changes, secondly, because of the failure of the BMW003 engines, and third, because of Hitler's resistance to the Me-262 being a fast bomber, not a fighter. As a result of all factors, the plane entered the line only in 1944! Given the already overwhelming advantage of the Allies in the air, the shortage of fuel and trained crews of the Me-262 could not have had a major impact on the course of the war. Undoubtedly, it was technologically superior to enemy aircraft, and the loss ratio was 1: 9 in favor of the Me-262. A total of about 1,400 machines were built, but only about 300 entered service. Several development versions of this revolutionary aircraft were created: a bomber (A-2a), reconnaissance (A-1a \/ U3 and A-4a), day fighter (A-1a) and night fighter (B-1a \/ U1).
