The de Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen is a British twin-engine, twin boom-tailed, two-seat, carrier-based fleet air-defence fighter flown by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy from the 1950s to the early 1970s. The Sea Vixen was designed by the de Havilland Aircraft Company during the late 1940s at its Hatfield factory in Hertfordshire, developed from the company's earlier first generation jet fighters.[a] It was later called the Hawker Siddeley Sea Vixen after de Havilland was absorbed by the Hawker Siddeley Corporation in 1960.
The Sea Vixen had the distinction of being the first British two-seat combat aircraft to achieve supersonic speed, albeit not in level flight. Operating from British aircraft carriers, it was used in combat over Tanganyika and over Yemen during the Aden Emergency. In 1972, the Sea Vixen was retired in favour of the American-made McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 interceptor.

Yakovlev Yak-38U FORGER-B
AVAILABLE FROM MARCH 2026
High quality 3d printed resin kit
The Yakovlev Yak-38U (NATO reporting name: Forger-B) is the two-seat conversion trainer variant of the Soviet Navy's first operational VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) strike fighter, the Yak-38 Forger.
Design and Development- Two-Seat Configuration: To accommodate a second cockpit for the instructor, the fuselage was significantly enlarged and lengthened to 17.76 meters. This resulted in a distinct, "drooped" nose appearance compared to the single-seat version.
VTOL System: Like the standard model, the Yak-38U used a unique (and often criticized) three-engine arrangement: one R-27V-300 turbojet for main thrust and two dedicated RD-36-35FVR lift engines mounted vertically behind the cockpit.
Safety Features: It was equipped with an automatic ejection system that would fire if one of the engines failed during a vertical phase, or if the aircraft exceeded a certain pitch/roll angle.
Operational Service- Purpose: Its primary role was to train pilots for the difficult task of landing on the moving decks of Kiev-class aircraft carriers.
Production: A total of 38 units were produced between 1975 and 1985.
Users: Served exclusively with the Soviet Naval Aviation and later briefly with the Ukrainian Navy after the collapse of the USSR.
