Towards MiG 15 bis
In November 1950, united states fighter pilots encountered a Soviet built MiG-15 swept wing fighter the very first time. Immediately the name MiG became infamous under western tradition considering that the united states F-86 Sabrejet and MiG-15's (NATO code called Faggot) fought inside skies over Korea.
After WWII, Soviet Aviation desired to match Western produced aircraft, therefore m any captured German, Italian and Japanese designs have been quickly tested and evaluated. The German Focke Wulf TA-183 swept wing fighter design by Kurt Tank, although never flown, had tremendous vow. Which includes 35 level swept wing, high T end, a design cost of Mach 0.9, and a site roof over 10,000 meters, it will 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 extremely first flown in December 1947, utilizing a conventional Uk Nene Mark 1 turbojet motor. The design went into production whilst the MiG-15 in belated 1948. The MiG-15 bis have been an improved variation utilising the better 5,950lb static thrust VK-1 engine, for greater range and a greater roof.
It went into mass production in 1950 armed with two NR-23 23mm cannons and one N37 37mm cannon, attached to an interior platform lowered yourself crank for servicing and rearming. Many MiG-15 bis fighters stay traveling today and will be viewed doing at environment programs worldwide.
