Douglas A-4 Skyhawk
Designed to replace the A-1 Skyraider, the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was built to meet the needs of the United States Navy. Ed Heinemann, the chief designer of the Douglas, came up with a small yet effective aircraft that could fly everywhere. The engine is located in the fuselage, the fuel is located in the wings, and the avionics are located in the nose of the aircraft. The navy dubbed this small bomber “Heinemann’s Hot Rod” because of its distinctive appearance. The first time it was used was at the end of the Korean War, when it was called into action.

Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG 21
It was originally demonstrated in 1959, and the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG 21 fighter has since proven to be a reliable fighter in a variety of combat situations. In particular, it was utilized by the Indian, Soviet, and Libyan air forces, and it was the first Soviet aircraft to be capable of effectively executing both combat and interception tasks in the same flight. Some countries continue to use it, and it used to hold a slew of world records. As an example, it used to be the most widely produced supersonic aircraft in the world.
