The Douglas C-47 Skytrain (or Dakota) is an American twin-engine, all-metal transport aircraft from the Second World War. It was a very successful military adaptation of the Douglas DC-3 aircraft. The test flight of the C-47 prototype took place on December 23, 1941. Serial production started in January 1942, which ended with the production of over 10,000 copies of this aircraft by the end of 1945. The basic power unit were two Pratt-Whitney R-1830-92 engines with a power of 1200KM each. A dozen or so versions of the C-47 were created, of which the A version (reinforced cabin, 24V electrical system in the plane) and B (more powerful engines) were produced on the largest scale. The C-47 fought on all fronts of World War II as a transport plane, evacuation of the wounded, specialist for paratroopers or towing gliders. These aircraft were also exported to the USSR under the Land-Lease Act, and the Soviet Union itself built over 6,000 under license in 1939-1952 (as Li-2). After 1945, the planes were massively "civilized", becoming the most popular passenger and transport plane in the world. Technical data: Maximum speed: 326 km / h, speed of climb: 5.7 m / s, maximum ceiling 7170 m, maximum range: 2400 km.
