The B-1B is still one of the largest, fastest and most
advanced long-range bombers in the USAF and forms the backbone of the Strategic
Air Command. The swing-wing bomber is capable of carrying a 34 ton weapon load
internally as well as 26 tons externally. It has a range of 12,000 km (7452
miles) at high altitude and can penetrate deep into enemy territory. The B-1B
successfully withstood its baptism of fire in Operation Desert Fox in the war
against Iraq. As planned successor to the B-52 the B-1A undertook its maiden
flight in 1977 but then the program was delayed. The first B-1B was delivered
to the USAF on 27.07.1985. The radar irradiation surface of the B-1B is only
25% that of the B-52. The weapon load has also been increased enormously. In
three internal weapons bays both cruise missiles, guided missiles on a rotating
bomb-bay system and conventional bombs can be carried.
The four GE F-101 engines each generate a thrust of 13,620
kg with afterburner. The maximum speed at an altitude of 10,600 metres (35,000
ft) is 1324 Km/h (822 mph).

The Su-27 Flanker is known worldwide as one of the best
fighter aircraft. It has spectacular manoeuvrability which is achieved for
example by modifying the wing leading edges. Due to the powerful thrust of its
engines the Su-27 is easily able to perform the legendary Cobra maneouver. This
air superiority fighter was developed to counter the F-15 Eagle and entered
service in 1984. After 1991 the Su-27 modernization program came to a halt.
Development was only continued after later export successes. At the end of 2004
the first Su-27 SM's were delivered to front line aviation units. The AL-31 FM
engine now produces 13.5 tons of thrust. Maximum speed: Mach 2.15 at 10,000 m
(30,000 ft) altitude, weapon load 8 tons.

Ranger. The first of these machines were delivered to the US Army as early as
1969. Numerous improvements have led to the OH-58D version that was first
delivered in 1985. The helicopter was a four-bladed main-rotor, a more powerful
engine and advanced navigation and communication systems that are recognisable
by the eye-catching spherical block above the main-rotor head.

A new era of long haul passenger air travel was inaugurated
in October 2007 with the entry into airline service of the A380. The A380 is
the most advanced, spacious and eco-efficient airliner in service today. In a
typical three-class, 525-seat configuration, it delivers noticeably more
comfort while offering 40 per cent more capacity than the next largest airliner.

To meet the many different demands made on the German army’s
pioneer force in the Second World War, it was necessary to form increasingly
specialized task units, such as the landing pioneers, the tank and parachute
units. A special mention should also be made of the storm units which operated
with the infantry to lead direct attacks on enemy strongholds.

After the massed appearance of the Soviet T-34 the Germans
developed the V Panther armoured combat vehicle (Sd.Kfz 171) which was used for
the first time as version D in 1943. The necessary improvements gave rise to
version A at the end of 1943. With its 7.5 cm 42 L/70 combat vehicle gun, by
the end of the war the Panther had proved its superiority to most enemy combat
tanks. The V 12 cylinder Otto engine with a capacity of 600 HP provided the 44,800
kg heavy Panther with a maximum speed of up to 55 km/h. It was crewed by five
men.
