Towards MiG 15 bis
In November 1950, us fighter pilots encountered a Soviet built MiG-15 swept wing fighter for the first time. Instantly the title MiG became infamous under western culture since the us F-86 Sabrejet and MiG-15's (NATO code known as Faggot) fought inside skies over Korea.
After WWII, Soviet Aviation desired to match Western created aircraft, therefore m any captured German, Italian and Japanese designs had been quickly tested and evaluated. The German Focke Wulf TA-183 swept wing fighter design by Kurt Tank, although never flown, had tremendous promise. Which consists of 35 level swept wing, high T end, a design price of Mach 0.9, and a service roof over 10,000 meters, it'll be a formidable fighter. The Soviets made some design changes and designated it the S-01 (S for swept wing). It had been built by the MiG design bureau and very first flown in December 1947, using a traditional British Nene Mark 1 turbojet engine. The design went into production as the MiG-15 in belated 1948. The MiG-15 bis have been an improved variation utilizing the more powerful 5,950lb static thrust VK-1 engine, for greater range and a greater roof.
It went into mass manufacturing in 1950 armed with two NR-23 23mm cannons and something N37 37mm cannon, attached to an interior platform lowered yourself crank for servicing and rearming. Numerous MiG-15 bis fighters remain traveling today and can be seen doing at atmosphere programs global.
