Mi-8T HIP C
The Mi-8 HIP is a multipurpose helicopter that can be used as a troop carrier, cargo, or attack helicopter. The first Mi-8 flew in January of 1960. The Mi-8 HIP was made by Mil Moscow. The Mi-8 HIP comes in eight variations: HIP C the standard assault / carrier, HIP D the communications, HIP E the modified assault, HIP H (mi-17) the carrier, HIP J the jammer, HIP K the modified jammer, HIP G (Mi-9) the airborne command, and the Mi-14 the naval version. The Mi-8T HIP C is the standard variation of the HIP. The HIP C is a medium assault / troop carrier helicopter. It is usually fitted with 57mm rockets, bombs, AT-2C SWATTER missiles. The HIP C can be used as an assault, transport, rescue, or artillery observation helicopter. The HIP C is characterized by 5 main rotor-blades, a portside triple-bladed tail rotor, twin turboshaft engines, and tricycle landing gears. All HIP C are equipped with a rescue winch capable of lifting 150 kg. The HIP C’s engines are special because one engine can die and the other will automatically increase output. There are over 54 countries that still fly the Mi-8 HIP.
Type: assault / transport helicopter
Armament: 12.7mm machinegun pod, twin 23mm gun pod, 57mm rockets, 80mm rockets, 250kg bombs, 500 kg bombs, AT-2C SWATTER

Dimensions: length 25.2m; rotor diameter 21.3m
Speed: 250km/h
Ceiling: 4500m
Range: (with aux fuel) 950km

The NC-4 Flying-Boat is a US naval World War II biplane. It was introduced in 1914 as a contestant in the transatlantic race from America to England. It was the first American plane to complete a transatlantic flight, so obviously, it beat the other competitors, the NC-1 sunk and the NC-3 was badly damaged. It has floats to allow it to sail and wings to allow it to fly; this is why it is called the “Flying-Boat”. Navy Curtiss built the NC-4.
Type: naval World War II biplane
Dimensions: span 38.4m; length 20.8m; height 7.4m
Payload: 5165kg
Speed: 146km/h
Range: 2366km
Ceiling: 1372m

The B-57 Canberra is a British licensed bomber jet. It was first introduced in 1951. The US broke its policy of not buying foreign aircraft because the Canberra was one of the first jets. The Canberra was a response to the Messerschmidt and Arado German jets, which were developed too late to affect the out come of the war, but shocked the Allies nonetheless. The B-57 Canberra replaced the B-26 Invader. The USAF produced a total of 403 B-57s before production ended in 1959. One thing that made the B-57 uniqe was its rotating bombing door.
Type: bomber jet
Armament: 2250kg of internal bombs, 8 pylons for bombs or rockets
Dimensions: span 19.5m; length 19.95m; height 4.7m
Payload: 13150kg
Speed: 920km/h
Range: 3200km
Ceiling: 15000m

The Antonov An-2 was made by Oleg Antonov. It was first flown in August 1947. The An-2 appeared a blunder in the Antonov market, being a biplane compared with some more complex planes. It could fly at 258 kilometers per hour and for 900 kilometers with a 500 kilogram payload. It could carry at maximum 2050 kilograms. This plane was made in the masses; at least 5000 An-2s were made before the USSR gave responsibility to Poland, where an additional 7500 were produced. China also produced another 5000, putting to a total of around eighteen thousand An-2s produced.
Type: troop carrier
Dimensions: length 12.74m; wingspan 18.18m; height 4m
Speed: 258km/h
Ceiling: 4400m
