The resulting loss of man and brainpower hampered the Soviet Union’s progress in terms of aviation. The Chaika would have been an enormous breakthrough in 1919. However, it was produced in 1939.

Their tilting rotors, when in the traditional flying position, deliver high speed— 316mph max—for quick insertions. Plus, when in helicopter position, the rotors allow for vertical takeoffs and landings.

This load-bearing fuselage massively cut down on the number of struts and wires needed by the wings, reducing drag. This made it as fast if not faster than many existing fighters, and allowed it to carry bombs, a forward-firing gun, and an observer’s machine gun. 03965 RVLS3965 1/72 MIL MI-28N HAVOC Aptly named attack helicopter The Mi-28 “Havoc” is incredibly appropriately named. Its combination of firepower, speed, and sophistication makes it one of the most potent attack helicopters on the planet. The firepower is derived from a 30mm autocannon, and a mixture of guided missiles and unguided rockets. Speeds of up to 201 mph are provided by a 5-blade propeller and twin 2,200 shaft horsepower engines. Sophisticated target acquisition technology and a helmet-enabled weapons cueing system ensure that both speed and firepower are utilized to maximum effect.

Instead, it began designing ever wilder and more impossible aircraft such as the Me P.1101. This jet-propelled aircraft was novel in many ways. Variable wing geometry, compound sweep wings, and a plethora of conceptual variants made it one of the leastunderstood aircraft to be designed in the closing days of the Third Reich.

For attaining altitude and evading enemy fighters, this impressive speed was an advantage. However, against the Komet’s favored 4-engine heavy bomber targets, the Komet could close at over 300mph. With the limited effective range of the Komet’s 30mm armament, this gave mere seconds of firing time. The Komet was effective, but was phased out in favor of the Me 262.
