ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCE RUSSIAN JET FIGHTER Sukhoi Su-35

Sukhoi Su-35 FLANKER E

The first variant was designed during the 1980s as an upgrade of the Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. This derivative incorporated canards and a multi-function radar that transformed the aircraft into a multi-role aircraft, and was structurally reinforced to support its heavier weight. The first prototype made its maiden flight in June 1988. As the aircraft was not mass produced due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Sukhoi re-designated the aircraft as Su-35 to attract export orders. At the same time, the fifteen aircraft produced were used for tests and demonstrations; one example had thrust-vectoring engines installed, and the resultant Su-37 was used as a technology demonstrator. A sole Su-35UB two-seat trainer was also built in the late 1990s that strongly resembled the Su-30MK family.

P 51D MUSTANG The Gaurdian of The B17

GUARDIAN ANGEL FOR THE B17 BOMBERS The P51 Mustang was one of the most effective planes of World War Two. The P51 Mustang gave the bombers of US 8th Air Force the fighter cover it so desperately needed over occupied Europe and, therefore, greatly assisted the bombing campaign against Nazi Germany in World War Two.       In May 1944, the P51-D was introduced. This plane was fitted with fuel drop tanks that gave it far greater mileage in the air. When these tanks were empty, they could be dropped so that the plane had the full use of its aerodynamics. This extra fuel gave the Mustang an ability to escort the US 8th Air Force bomber formations to just about any target in Western Europe. Such cover was vital to the Americans as they were participating in daylight raids primarily over Germany and were thus exposed to attacks by the Luftwaffe. Before the Mustang, American bombers flew in a box formation and relied on the fire power of the many guns carried by Flying

The Most Maneuverable Fighter in The World F-16

F-16 Fighting Falcon The Lockheed Martin F-16 is a single engine light weight multirole fighter. Originally design as an outright fighter, many multirole capabilities were added to it. The F-16 was produced to support the heavy weight F-15, as a result of heavy-light combination strategy adopted by the USAF.     F-16 is one of the most maneuverable fighter in the world. The F-16 was the first aircraft that was able to pull 9G, and to fly above Mach 2. F-16 is much smaller and agile that its predecessor, but has better avionics and can more armaments.The General Electric F110-GE-132 turbofan engine is one the most reliable engine in the world. The F-16 being more reliable, yet cheaper than most single engine fighter, is one most sold fighters in the world. Nations around the globe have F-16 in their airforces. The F-16 is described as the Porshe of the flying world. Continuously upgraded, F-16 Block 70/72 is the lastest version of the F-16. The USAF recently signed
