The #MikoyanGurevichYe8 was a #supersonic #jetFighter developed in the #SovietUnion, intended to replace the #MiG21 (originally named #MiG23). Only two prototypes were built in 1960–61. The original MiG-21's air intakes were moved under the fuselage, freeing up the nose where a larger and more powerful #radar, able to deliver longer range #airtoairMissiles, could be built in. #Canards were built to both sides of the nose, in front of the #cockpit.

An old MiG-15, a Cold War-era jet fighter, languishing in a field somewhere in Latvia

This lonely MiG-15 sits near a private runway in Latvia, a survivor of the Soviet Union's early jet fighter era. Developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich, the aircraft was an early innovator in swept-wing design intended to reach supersonic speeds.

A German Horten Ho 229 is readied for a test flight - Germany, Feb 1945

Designed by brothers Walter and Reimar Horten, the Ho 229 was a jet-powered flying-wing aircraft developed in the final months of WW2. It was conceived to meet the ambitious “3×1000” requirement: an aircraft capable of carrying a 1,000-kilogram payload over 1,000 miles at a speed of 1,000 kilometres per hour. #ww2 #worldwar2 #horten #stealth #jetengine #history #jetfighter
