Sukhoi Su-5

The Sukhoi Su -5 (Russian Сухой Су -5, and I- 107) was designed by the Soviet aircraft designer Pavel Sukhoi and served as experimental aircraft. It was built in only two copies.

With it, one from the Central Institute of Aircraft Engines ( ZIAM ) developed turbo compressor should be tested with a downstream combustion chamber, which had been installed in the exhaust stream of a conventional piston engine and airplane performance should significantly improve. Sukhoi and Mikoyan -Gurevich were tasked with the construction of such testing support. Then came the I- 250 (N ) and the Su- fifth The latter received a WK- 107A engine of Alexander Mikulin with four- bladed propeller, and the putative Cholschtschewnikow accelerator WRDK module. The goal was the German jet aircraft to ensure flight performance comparable to consist in a dogfight can.

Flight testing began in April 1945 with G. Komarov. The auxiliary drive increased with short duration and the motor power of the WK -107 1,250 2,060 kW ( 1,700 to 2,800 hp), in which the unit is extra set 3 kN of thrust available. The aircraft then reached a speed of 807 km / h in altitude of 10,000 meters. Since it became clear by this time that the future would be achievable much higher speeds with the increasingly sophisticated pure jet engines, is presented on 15 July 1945, the experiments with this pattern.
