The Airbus A310 is a mid-range, long-range, low-wing, twin-engine jet airliner, primarily French-German production. The drive is provided by two General Electric CF-6-80C2 or Pratt and Whitney PW4000 turbofan engines. The flight of the prototype took place in 1982, and serial production lasted from 1983 to 1998. In 2013, 168 out of 255 produced machines remained in service. The Airbus A310 was created as the second structure of an international consortium composed of mainly German and French companies. The new machine was based on the Airbus A300 aircraft and retained many common elements with it - primarily the engines and the general shape of the fuselage. Several versions of this aircraft were created in the course of serial production. The first mass-produced was the A310-200. Another was the A310-200C, which could also function as a transport machine. One of the last is the A310-300 with a greater range and lifting capacity. One of the most interesting versions is the A310-MRT, which is a military transport version. Airbus A310, despite the fact that it is considered a successful and safe machine, took part in 10 disasters.

The Boeing 747 Airborne Telescope, known as SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy), was a unique airborne observatory operated by NASA in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Based on a heavily modified Boeing 747SP, SOFIA was equipped with a powerful, high-altitude telescope that allowed it to study celestial objects and phenomena in infrared wavelengths, which are largely inaccessible to ground-based observatories due to the Earth's atmosphere. SOFIA made groundbreaking contributions to astronomy, particularly in the study of star formation, planetary atmospheres, and the composition of distant galaxies. Aircraft Platform (Boeing 747SP): SOFIA was built on a modified Boeing 747SP, a shortened version of the iconic Boeing 747 airliner. The 747SP variant was chosen for its ability to fly at higher altitudes (up to 45,000 feet), which is crucial for infrared observations. At these altitudes, SOFIA could operate above the majority of the Earth’s water vapor, allowing it to capture clearer images of the infrared universe. Telescope Specifications: The core of SOFIA’s observational capabilities was its 2.7-meter (8.9-foot) diameter infrared reflecting telescope. The telescope was mounted in an open cavity at the rear of the aircraft, specially designed with a sliding door that could be opened mid-flight to expose the telescope to the sky while minimizing airflow turbulence around the open cavity. This design allowed the telescope to remain stable during observations. Wavelength Range: SOFIA's telescope operated in the infrared spectrum, with a wavelength range from 0.3 to 1600 microns. Infrared observations are essential for studying objects that are obscured by dust or that emit primarily in non-visible wavelengths, such as star-forming regions, distant galaxies, and even planetary atmospheres. Instruments: SOFIA was equipped with a variety of specialized instruments that could be swapped out depending on the mission. These instruments included spectrometers, cameras, and photometers designed to capture data in various infrared wavelengths. Flight Capabilities: SOFIA could fly at altitudes of up to 45,000 feet (13.7 km), which placed it above 99% of the Earth's atmospheric water vapor. This allowed it to make observations that are impossible from ground-based telescopes. A typical mission lasted 8-10 hours, with a range of around 11,500 km (7,145 miles).

The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 was a mid-range, low-wing, twin-engine, low-wing American jet airliner. The drive was provided by two Pratt and Whitney JT8D twin-flow engines. The flight of the prototype took place in 1965, and serial production continued in the years 1965-1982. About 970 copies of this aircraft were produced. Unit cost was estimated at approximately $ 42-49 million. McDonnell Douglas DC-9 was created to improve the company's commercial offer and replace it with the DC-8 four-engine aircraft. When designing the DC-9 aircraft, the focus was primarily on the high ergonomics of the machine and the lowest possible operating costs. Several development versions were created in the course of serial production. The first mass-produced was the DC-9-15. Shortly thereafter, a version of the DC-9-20 with improved aerodynamics and wings was created. In 1975, DC-9-50 planes appeared with a passenger cabin that could take up to 139 passengers. It was by far the largest of the mass-produced versions of the DC-9. Featuring Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Swedair/Swedeways markings.

The Brantly B-2 is an American two-seat light helicopter produced by the Brantly Helicopter Corporation. The B-2 had a single main rotor and an anti-torque tail rotor and first flew on 21 February 1953. This was followed by an improved second prototype that first flew on 14 August 1956. The B-2A was introduced with a modified cabin, and the B-2B had a larger 180 hp fuel-injected engine. The B-2B has a three-bladed articulated main rotor and an all-metal fuselage, it can be operated with skid, wheel or float landing gear. The piston engine is fitted vertically in the fuselage behind the cabin.

The Hughes OH-6 Cayuse is an American light observation and reconnaissance helicopter from the Cold War and modern times. The prototype's flight took place in 1963, and the machine entered service in 1966. The helicopter - in the AH-6C version - is 9.8 m long, and the main rotor diameter is 8.33 meters. The drive is provided by a single Allison T63-A-5A or Allison T63-A-700 engine with 317 HP. Its maximum speed reaches 282 km / h. The helicopter has a classic layout with a single main rotor and a propeller on the tail boom. The Hughes OH-6 Cayuse was developed for the needs of the US Army aviation, which in 1960 announced the need for a light observation helicopter. Light Observation Helicopter - LOH for short). Hughes won the competition announced as part of the LOH program, but after the victory - paradoxically! - ran into financial and logistical problems that delayed the truly mass production of the OH-6, and at the same time led to the introduction of the OH-58 Kiowa machine to the Bell plant. However, when the company dealt with the problems, production started relatively smoothly, and the OH-6 turned out to be a very successful helicopter with a total of 23 world records for this class of rotorcraft! Machines of this type also played a significant role during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975). It is also worth adding that outside the US, helicopters OH-6 Cayuse (in various versions) have been or are still operated in Denmark, Spain and Japan, among others. The set includes 10 plastic frames, 3 frames with transparent parts, decals, paint masks, printed parts.

The English Electric Canberra was a British jet bomber and reconnaissance aircraft from the Cold War and modern times. The plane's flight took place in 1949, and the machine entered service in 1951. In total, about 900 aircraft of this type were built for the needs of the RAF. In the Canberra B.6 version, the drive was provided by two Rolls-Royce Avon RA7 engines with a thrust of 36 kN each. The on-board armament of the aircraft consisted of four 20mm Hispano Mark V cannons. The machine could also carry a load of bombs and rockets with a total weight of up to approx. 3,600 kilograms. Development work on the English Electric Canberra began at the end of World War II, and their goal was to create a bomber with the best possible flight parameters - including maximum speed and range - for the RAF. It was quickly recognized that the machine must be powered by jet engines. What's more, despite the good pace of work, the design of the aircraft was carefully developed and turned out to be a hit. Finally, when it was introduced to the English Electric line, the Canberra was probably the best aircraft in its class in the world, and its great performance meant that it retained its combat value throughout almost the entire Cold War! In the course of production, many versions of this successful machine were created, including the Canberra B.2 (the first serial production version), the Canberra PR.3 (the photo reconnaissance version) and the Canberra T.4 (the first training version). It is worth adding that the plane was operated not only by Great Britain, but also by Australia, Argentina and India. The English Electric Canberra, with numerous modifications and licensed production, also served in the USAF as the Martin B-57 Canberra. This model is a good starting point for an aviation modeling project. Once assembled, it can be customized with paints, decals, wear marks, and embellishments to achieve a more realistic final result. The product name includes key information about the theme, variant, and compatible scale.

AMP 72019 Keldysh Sub-Orbital Bomber in 1/72 scale is a unique plastic model kit depicting a conceptual Soviet sub-orbital rocket bomber from the post-war era. This extremely interesting model set offers not only the satisfaction of building a rarely seen vehicle, but also a deeper insight into the technical aspirations of Soviet scientists during the Cold War. The Keldysh Sub-Orbital Bomber was a project developed in the USSR in the late 1940s, during the growing arms race of the Cold War. Its name derives from Academician Mstislav Keldysh – one of the leading Soviet aviation designers and scientists. The project was a response to the need for nuclear payload delivery systems capable of quickly traversing long distances and penetrating air defense systems. In practice, the Keldysh sub-orbital bomber was intended to launch with the help of carrier rockets, reach the edge of the atmosphere, and return to earth in a gliding flight. Although it never advanced beyond the prototype stage and remained only a concept, it was one of the most ambitious attempts to create a new generation of strategic weapons. Features Material: high-quality plastic Category: plastic model kit The set includes clear plastic parts (cockpit glazing) Glue and paints not included

The Northrop HL-10 was one of the most successful experimental lifting body aircraft developed by NASA and the United States Air Force during the 1960s and 1970s. Created as part of a pioneering research programme, the HL-10 was designed to investigate how aircraft with little or no conventional wings could safely re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land following space missions. The lifting body concept generated aerodynamic lift from the shape of the fuselage itself rather than relying on large wings. This approach offered significant advantages for future spacecraft, combining the high-speed capabilities of a space capsule with the ability to make a controlled runway landing. The research carried out using the HL-10 would later contribute to the development of the Space Shuttle programme. Constructed by Northrop Corporation, the HL-10 featured a distinctive flattened fuselage and twin vertical stabilisers. It was typically carried aloft beneath a modified Boeing B-52 Stratofortress before being released at altitude to conduct unpowered glide flights. Rocket propulsion was also used during some test flights to explore higher-speed flight characteristics. Between 1966 and 1970, the HL-10 completed numerous research missions from Edwards Air Force Base in California. The aircraft achieved some of the highest speeds and altitudes of any lifting body design, reaching speeds in excess of Mach 1.8 and altitudes above 90,000 feet. These achievements provided valuable data on handling characteristics, stability and control during high-speed atmospheric flight. The Northrop HL-10 remains an important milestone in aerospace history. Its groundbreaking research helped prove that wingless spacecraft could return from orbit and land safely on a runway, paving the way for future reusable space vehicles and advancing mankind's understanding of atmospheric re-entry flight.

The AMP 72023 kit reproduces the Northrop M2-F3 – a NASA experimental lifting-body aircraft developed in the 1960s and 1970s. The M2-F3 was designed to investigate flight characteristics of wingless reentry vehicles that would later inspire the Space Shuttle program. It was a rebuilt version of the damaged M2-F2, fitted with a third vertical stabilizer to improve flight stability. Includes High-quality injection-moulded plastic parts Accurately shaped lifting-body fuselage Clear parts for the cockpit canopy Landing gear components for parked display Decals with NASA markings and serial numbers Illustrated assembly instructions Glue and paints are not included
