Chapters: Lockheed AC-130, Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, Mil Mi-24, Aerospatiale Alouette III, MD Helicopters MH-6 Little Bird, AgustaWestland Apache, Douglas AC-47 Spooky, Convair C-131 Samaritan, Fairchild AC-119, Gunship. Excerpt: The Mil Mi-24 (Russian: , NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship (and attack helicopter) and low-capacity troop transport (with room for 8 passengers) produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and operated from 1972 by the Soviet Air Force, its successors, and over thirty other nations. In October 2007, the Russian Air Force announced it would replace its 250 Mi-24 helicopter gunships with 300 more modern Mi-28s and possibly Ka-50s by 2015. In NATO circles the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are simply denoted with a letter suffix as "Hind D" and "Hind E" respectively. Soviet pilots called the aircraft (letayushchiy tank, "flying tank"). More common unofficial nicknames were (Krokodil, "Crocodile"), due to the helicopter's new camouflage scheme and (Stakan, "Glass"), because of the flat glass plates which surround the three place cockpit of the Mi-24A. During the early 1960s, it became apparent to Soviet designer Mikhail Leont'yevich Mil that the trend towards ever-increasing battlefield mobility would result in the creation of flying infantry fighting vehicles, which could be used to perform both fire support and infantry transport missions. The first expression of this concept was a mock-up unveiled in 1966 in the experimental shop of the Ministry of Aircraft's factory number 329 where Mil was head designer. The mock-up designated V-24 was based on another project, the V-22 utility helicopter, which itself never flew. The V-24 was similar in layout and configuration to the UH-1A Huey, with a central infantry compartment that could hold eight troops s...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
