The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star is an American single-seat, single-engine jet fighter. Research work on a jet fighter for the USAAF began in the USA, based on the British De Havilland H-1B Goblin engine, in 1943. The flight of the first prototype took place in January 1944. However, due to numerous failures and catastrophes, the first planes to line units arrived only at the beginning of 1945. The P-80 planes did not take part in World War II. After its completion, the USAAF reduced their original order, and by 1950, 1,715 P-80s of three versions: A, B, and C were finally produced. Serial versions were powered by the Allison J33-A-35 engine. The modified P-80B, dubbed the XP-80R, set a speed record of 1003.9 km / h on June 19, 1947. The P-80s were massively used in the Korean War, but due to their inferior parameters to the Mig-15, they were replaced by the F-86 Saber. After being withdrawn from service, they were used as attack aircraft and support the battlefield. There was also a training version called T-33, which was produced until 1959. Nearly 7,000 aircraft of this version were built! Technical data (version P-80C): Maximum speed: 965 km / h, speed of climb: 23.3 m / s, maximum altitude 14,000 m, maximum range: 1,930 km, armament: fixed - 6 M2 Browning 12 machine guns , 7mm, suspended - up to 908 kg of bombs.
Ilyushin Il-10 was a Soviet attack aircraft with a metal structure in the low wing configuration. The plane had a retractable, two-wheeled landing gear in the classic layout. The drive was provided by a single Mikulin-AM42 V-engine with a starting power of 2000 KM. The flight of the prototype took place on September 27, 1944, and serial production lasted from 1944 to 1947. Licensed production was also started in Czechoslovakia under the designation Avia B-33. The Il-10 was created as a far-reaching development of the very successful Il-2, which was one of the most important Soviet aircraft of the Second World War. The new machine has improved performance (especially the maximum speed), maneuverability at low altitudes and the armor of the entire structure has been strengthened. The basic armament was either 2 23mm cannons and 2 7.62mm machine guns or 4 23mm cannons. In addition, there was a rifle in the turret at the rear of the cabin, cal. 12.7 mm, and armaments up to 600 kg. The Il-10 aircraft was successfully used in the last operations of World War II, especially the Berlin operation in 1945, as well as during the Korean War (1950-1953) by the DPRK air force.
