The An-22 Antei is a Soviet heavy turboprop military transport aircraft created in the Antonov Design Bureau in the 1960s.
Created to provide transportation of heavy and oversized cargo, as well as airborne operations, the An-22 became an outstanding machine for its time. To this day, it is considered the largest turboprop aircraft in the world.
A total of 69 aircraft of this model were manufactured, which were actively used in the USSR Air Force. By 2021, most of the fleet has been decommissioned, however, several units are still in service in the Russian Aerospace Forces and Antonov Airlines.
Welcome aboard!

The Mi-2 is a Soviet light multipurpose helicopter created at the Mil Design Bureau in the early 1960s. Produced in large numbers, the Mi-2 quickly took its place in the niche of light air transport and performed a wide range of tasks, from agricultural to military.
Serial production was launched in Poland. For several decades of mass production (until the early 1990s), more than 5400 helicopters were delivered. Despite the fact that the Mi-2 is obviously outdated and cannot compete with the new models of this class, a fairly large number of these helicopters still fly around the world.

Ariane 5 is a heavy-lift launch rocket created by a consortium of European aerospace companies in the early 1990s. The main Arianespace and European Space Agency launch vehicle. The rocket is used mainly to launch payloads to the geostationary transfer orbit, which led to the emergence of a number of interesting design solutions.
By the beginning of 2020, the rocket was launched 108 times.

BAC 111 | (British Aircraft Corporation 111) – short-range jet airliner, developed by the British Aircraft Corporation at the beginning of the 1960s. It is a second-generation airliner, which popularized short and mid-range jet transportation (along with DC-9, Boeing 737 and Tu-134).
BAC 111 is considered to be one of the most technologically advanced planes of its time, bringing a lot of innovation to the world of aviation, which made it a hit across many regional airlines.
However, development issues and harsh competition didn’t allow this plane to take over the world. It was assembled in Great Britain and, thanks to licensing, in Romania too. 244 planes were delivered. Its operation was ended in 2019.

The Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" is a jet high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed in the 1950s.
The aircraft was created to perform observation flights in any region of the world, even under the condition of active counteraction by air defense. The basis of its concept is the altitude of flights - more than 70,000 feet or 21 km, unreachable for aircraft and artillery of that time. The aircraft was actively operated by the CIA and the US Air Force until the 1970s, and then - just the Air Force.
During the entire period of exploitation, the U-2 took part in almost all military operations of the US Armed Forces and special forces, as well as conducted reconnaissance missions in all regions, including the USSR and the PRC. Under the conditions of an arms race, the air defense forces sometimes "caught up" with the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and they managed to shoot it down. The most famous of such incidents was the shootdown of a U-2 with the pilot Francis Gary Powers, in 1960. However, despite all the difficulties and scandals, the U-2 continues to serve up to this day.

Now, in the early 2020s, we are witnessing truly wide changes, taking place in all areas of life. One of these changes is a slightly sad, but logical trend - the era of the giant four-engine airliners is coming to an end. But why? In this story we will try to figure it out.

The Delta IV is a family of heavy launch vehicles created by Boeing in the early 2000s and operated by the United Launch Alliance (ULA). The largest member of this family, the Delta IV Heavy, is the flagship of the ULA model line and, for 2020, the second launch vehicle in the world in terms of maximum payload. It is one of the few carriers using a cryogenic fuel pair in both stages: liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The Delta IV is used primarily in the interests of US government agencies. With launch costs ranging from $150 to $400 million, these rockets can be considered some of the most expensive in the world in 2020.
