Let’s take a closer look at the shape of the nose of the aircraft. Let’s open the photo with the nose of the aircraft again. We see that the nose fairing has an elliptical shape. The transition of the vertical side of the fuselage to a fully elliptical shape is clearly visible. I need to […]

This is a well-known WWI aircraft that was widespread in the armies of the belligerent countries. In addition to France, Nieuport 17 was in service with Russia, Great Britain, Belgium and Italy. The aircraft was built according to a one-and-a-half-plane scheme, which was unusual for that time, with the lower wing of a reduced area. […]

Let’s continue modeling the plane nose. Last time I made the cockpit glazing. Now we need to make the nose of the fuselage. Let’s see what we have. The picture “Right View” shows that we have only the contour of the nose and section A along the nose of the fuselage. In this case, we […]

Maxim began test assembly of his Yak-130 model. There have been no messages from Maxim for a long time, and now there is a lot of news at once. Judging by the photo, work on the model is in full swing. The frame of the model, cockpits, engines are already ready. Fuselage skin patterns on […]

Let’s continue building the fuselage of our aircraft. Now we need to make the cockpit. At the beginning, we will hide the made part of the fuselage so that it does not interfere with us. To do this, copy the bow frame: command Ctrl D + Enter. The copied frame remains in place. Then we […]

In 1927, at the Mechanical Plants “E. Plage i T. Laśkiewicz “in Lublin began the design of a new military aircraft, which was supposed to replace the outdated by that time Potez XV and Potez XXV, produced by factories under license. The work was headed by the pilot, engineer and aircraft designer Jerzy Rudlicki (March […]

Last time we stopped at the fact that we made one section of the fuselage of our aircraft and agreed that you will do the rest of the work with the fuselage yourself.Let’s check out our homework. We still have one question unresolved. After applying the SubSurf modifier to the fuselage section, its edges were […]

The airplane AIR-1 had been designed by A. S. Yakovlev, a young assistant mechanic of the training and flight unit of the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy (VVA), who later became a famous Soviet aircraft designer. This was his first aircraft – a two-seater biplane of a very simple design, mostly made of wood. It received […]

I assembled these designs using the traditional method from rings. However, here I was once again convinced of the need to come up with a solution for large-scale joints of parts. The second issue, which has long been in the queue to be addressed, is the leading edge of the engine hood. Usually, the front […]

The Il-28 aircraft – according to NATO classification – “Beagle” – the first Soviet front-line bomber with turbojet engines, mass-produced. The first flight of a machine with English engines Nene (“Nin”) from Rolls-Royce took place on July 8, 1948. On August 8, 1949, the aircraft with new VK-1 engines passed tests, and soon its serial […]

Finally, I got to the wings. Their complex shape immediately drew a backlash from Blender. He began to “complain” about the large curvature and inadequate unfolding. I didn’t know what to do and continued development literally at random. Looking ahead, I will say that I had to try several variants of the wing design until […]

Having entered the war with America on December 7, 1941, the Japanese command soon realized that the need to defend itself was not far off. Anticipating possible raids by American aircraft on the islands, the command of the Japanese Navy had ordered a technical assignment for the construction of a high-speed high-altitude interceptor fighter that […]
