An Entity of Type: WikicatAircraftComponents, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A tail gunner or rear gunner is a crewman on a military aircraft who functions as a gunner defending against enemy fighter or interceptor attacks from the rear, or "tail", of the plane. The tail gunner operates a flexible machine gun or autocannon emplacement in the tail end of the aircraft with an unobstructed view toward the rear of the aircraft. While the term tail gunner is usually associated with a crewman inside a gun turret, the first tail guns were operated from open apertures within the aircraft's fuselage, such as the Scarff ring mechanism used in the British Handley Page V/1500, which was introduced during latter months of the First World War. Increasingly capable tail gunner positions were developed during the interwar period and the Second World War, resulting in the emergence

  • Un artillero de cola es, de entre los tripulantes que sirven a bordo de un avión militar, aquel que sirve de artillero para la defensa contra ataques de cazas enemigos procedentes de la parte trasera, o cola, de la aeronave. (es)
  • Un mitrailleur de queue ou artilleur d'aviation est un membre d'équipage d'un aéronef militaire disposant comme moyens de défense d'une tourelle armée de mitrailleuses ou de canons jumelés par deux ou par quatre. Cet armement permet généralement une défense contre les aéronefs ennemis plus ou moins efficace. (fr)

Increasingly capable tail gunner positions were developed during the interwar period and the Second World War, resulting in the emergence of the powered turret and fire control systems incorporating radar guidance. In particularly advanced tail gunner arrangements, the tail armament may be operated by remote control from another part of the aircraft, such as the American Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, a strategic bomber first introduced during 1955.

  • 尾部銃手(びぶじゅうしゅ、tail gunner)、または後部銃手(こうぶじゅうしゅ、rear gunner)は、機体後方または「機尾」方向からの敵戦闘機の攻撃に対して、旋回機関銃や旋回機関砲をもって防御を行う銃手の役目を担う軍用機の乗員。 尾部銃手は、一般的に後方視界を妨げない機体背面や機尾に設置された可動式銃砲を操作する。「尾部銃手」(tail gunner)という用語は、通常は銃架を操作ないし銃塔内部にいる乗員のことを指すが、機種によっては尾部武装が機体の別の部位から遠隔操作されるものもある。 (ja)

  • Um atirador de cauda é um membro da tripulação de uma aeronave, responsável pela manuseamento de uma metralhadora, posicionada na parte traseira da fuselagem. O seu objectivo é proteger a retaguarda da aeronave de um possível ataque de uma aeronave inimiga. Esta posição pode ser ocupada por um membro da tripulação que opera directamente com a arma ou pode ser uma arma controlada remotamente por um tripulante que fisicamente se encontre noutro local da fuselagem. Esta posição defensiva foi usada ao longo da história principalmente em bombardeiros. (pt)
  • En akterskytt är en besättningsman som ombord på ett militärflyg, vanligtvis ett tungt bombflygplan, bemannar eldvapen, oftast en eller flera kulsprutor eller automatkanoner, placerade i flygplanets bakre ände i syfte att avvärja angrepp bakifrån. Några exempel på flygplansmodeller med akterskytt: Avro Lancaster, Handley Page Halifax, Vickers Wellington, Dornier Do 24, Mitsubishi G4M, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Martin B-26 Marauder, Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, Ilyushin Il-28, Ilyushin Il-76, Tupolev Tu-95.
