    Well then, I didn't know that we made a missile program here. Nor the fact that (of course) the one that we made would be seen as super reliable. When we put our heads to it, we make good stuff. Sadly, we lost a lot of the heads who were in such projects in the 60s. (thanks Diefenbaker.)

    I know the reason for tri jet engined aircraft in the west, why did Airoflot use this configuration. Did they travel over long ocean's as well or was it more copying of western idea's that lead to them adopting the three engine configuration. Just asking.

    To me, one story tells it all. During the development of the Lockheed P-38 in the United States, test pilots discovered that it was very difficult to recover from a maximum-effort dive. Sometimes the plane fell apart from the stress. Other times the plane would just dive straight into the ground. Lockheed kept testing the plane until they discovered "compressibility" and then worked into the design special dive flaps that gave the wings far more lift when in a dive and produced kits to retrofit planes already in service. In the Soviet Union, the Mig-15 jet fighter experienced similar issues. The Soviet solution? They painted a line on the instrument panel past which you should not push the stick.

    the USSR contrast between brilliance in engineering and then make shift use of new ground breaking weapons is always amazing and funny to me. With a bit more time and patience many of the weapons that came out of the USSR would truly be considered revolutionary. Rather than the western versions that took that extra time. Great video

    See also the hideously bad safety record of the American-made Fairchild F-27 series, the so-called “Lead Sled.” A certain amount of attention was drawn to its problems because one of the passenger variants crashed in the Andes in October 1972 and incredibly, there were some people who managed to survive.
