Then, on the fourth day of the month of october 1957, it became a reality. The soviet union hurled the first manmade satellite into orbit 558 miles above the earth. The space age had begun. A year Later Congress created the National Aeronautics and space administration, a new civilian agency with parallel missions, to continue research and improvement in aeronautics, and to build a team and Technology Capable of sending unmanned and demand craft to explore the new ocean of space. Today, after a decade of research and discovery, america stands ready for the next step, a journey to the moon. [jet engines firing] this day began on an island of the coast off the coast, a place where man explores the realm of space. Over the past years, scientific instruments have been carried into the atmosphere, gathering d

However, the question really arose how to protect . This means that if you put armor here, just armor, it makes it much heavier and, most importantly , solves the issue of aerodynamics in a bad way. And ilyushin came up with the idea of making an armored plane. It was almost 2 3 armored, the entire top and bottom. Illushen, thats what he wrote, by the way, about this plane. There is a need to create armored attack aircraft or in other words. Flying tank, thats what they called it at the front, which had all its vital parts armored, our Design Bureau decided to make the armor work in the body of the aircraft, that is, to make it the working body of this very machine. Until now, designers have put armor on the frame only for the purpose of protection. The complexity of the task turned out to be in choosing the thickness of this steel sheet, so that, well, so as not to overload this very machine in vain, in march of the fortyfirst year , the first flight of a serial storm aircraft t
