Scratchbuilt 1/72 Tupolev TB-3 My interest in the Tupolev TB-3 began with seeing an old Soviet film showing paratroopers sliding off the corrugated wings of a huge airplane in the 1930s. Then I was given a set of 1/72 plans of that same aircraft and the gears started in motion and I decided I had to have a model of the beast! www.internetmodeler.com /2002/october/aviation/TB3.htm   (1542 words)

Red Stars Over Berlin Tupolev also proposed the novel idea of boosting the plane's four wing-mounted 1,200-hp Klimov AM-34FRN 12-cylinder engines by means of a "central boosting unit," or supercharger. Petlyakov had been Tupolev's deputy during the development of the titanic ANT-20 Maksim Gorki and the TB-6 12-engine bomber (designated ANT-26 by the Tupolev design bureau). In spite of such highly publicized events as the German bombing of Guernica on April 26, 1937, Stalin and the Soviet high command (Stavka) remained unconvinced of the value of strategic bombing. www.thehistorynet.com /ahi/blredstarsberlin   (1792 words)

Unreal Aircraft - Flying Forever - Vakhmistrov Parasite Fighters The first unit was coded Z-1, and consisted of a Tupolev TB-1 carrying a Tupolev I-4 above each wing, loaded on the ground with the help of a wooden ramp. The Z-1 Samolet Zvena ('aircraft-aircraft group') combination was first flown on 3 December, 1931, and whilst in the excitement the main gear was released prematurely, the fighter pilot recovered the situation. The concept was not only to provide a defensive escort for bombers over distances normally beyond escort range, but also to enable offensive sorties by the parasite aircraft, and long-range suprvision of air space. www.unrealaircraft.com /forever/vakhmistrov.php   (516 words)

The Petlyakov Pe-2 He worked on a number of projects for Tupolev, most significantly heading the design team for the "TB-3 (ANT-6)" bomber of the early 1930s. In 1934, the Soviet government issued a requirement for a new four-engine heavy bomber as a follow-on to the TB-3. The Tupolev OKB (experimental design bureau) came up with a design with some general resemblance to the contemporary Boeing XB-15 and B-17 bombers, constructed mostly of metal but with fabric-covered flight control surfaces. www.vectorsite.net /avpe2.html   (5341 words)

Soviet Bombers of the Great Patriotic War (WW2) Developed as the ANT-42 by the Tupolev design bureau (with Vladmir Petlyakov in charge of the design team), the aircraft was intended to have the four wing mounted engines boosted by a fuselage mounted central supercharger driven by a fifth engine. Histofy., Considering the Soviet Union's rich heritage of heavy bomber designs in the 1920s and '30s, it is perhaps surprising that the Pe-8 was the only aircraft of its type to see Soviet service during WW2 and then only in small numbers. The prototype (with 11 00hp/820kW Mikulin M-1 05s) first flew without this feature on 27 December 1936. www.ww2guide.com /russianb.shtml   (914 words)

Anyhow the TB-1 was modified with mounts for the Tupolev I-4 fighter as well as the Polikarpov I-15 bis, I-16 and other bi- and mono-planes of the time. This was basically an old Tupolev TB-1, which was the "new" designation to be given to what was then the ANT-4 heavy bomber. rajaero.blogspot.com /2004_12_19_rajaero_archive.html   (1189 words)

The Petlyakov Pe-2 In 1934, the Soviet government issued a requirement for a new four-engine heavy bomber as a follow-on to the TB-3. The Tupolev OKB (experimental design bureau) came up with a design with some general resemblance to the contemporary Boeing XB-15 and B-17 bombers, constructed mostly of metal but with fabric-covered flight control surfaces. B-29s forced down in Siberia would be reverse-engineered and produced as the Tupolev "Tu-4", which would ultimately evolve into the most distinctly Soviet of aircraft, the Tu-95 "Bear". www.vectorsite.net /avpe2.html   (5341 words)

Composite & parasite aircraft: Zveno Assembly composed of a Tupolev TB3 4M-17F capable of carrying 5 to 6 aircraft. The Zveno were an interesting concept due to their varieties of diverse utilization starting with a Tupolev TB-3 decidedly used for many roles. Not only were the Soviets never idle in their research for composite aircraft, but they can even be considered pioneers in this domain as can be witnessed by the different tests they conducted in the thirties, especially those with their heavy four-engine Tupolev TB-3s. aerostories.free.fr /appareils/compopara/page19.html   (1367 words)

by For Forgotten Battles the Heinkel He111 and the Tupolev TB-3 are the two bomber choices to start out the bombing aspect of the sim. To be honest, the He 111 seemed to be a natural choice considering its wide use by the Luftwaffe on both the East and West fronts but the TB-3 is somewhat curious. This plane, rugged, fairly fast and hard hitting, should make ground pounders happy but probably will not be a dogfighter of choice. www.simhq.com /simhq3/sims/previews/il2_fb   (4278 words)

Unreal Aircraft - Roadable Aircraft - Antonov KT Flying Tank The unit was towed by a heavy bomber such as the Petlyakov Pe-8 or Tupolev TB-3.
