Vakhmistrov I-Ze
Role Parasite fighter
National origin USSR
Designer Vladimir Sergeyevich Vakhmistrov[1]

Development


To take the best advantage of parasite bomber/fighter combinations like the Vakhmistrov Zveno project,[2] Vakhmistrov designed a special fighter to be carried by Kalinin VS-2 bombers. This aircraft was to have been a small low-wing monoplane powered by an 850 hp (630 kW) Gnome-Rhone GRKs engine. With a weight of only 1910 kg, it was expected that a top speed of 518 km/h (321 mph) would be attainable. Weight was to be kept to a minimum by the use of a centerline skid undercarriage and small dimensions:- a wingspan of 7.75m (25 ft 5in) and a wing area of only 10 m2 (110 sq ft).[1] Construction of the prototype was started but discontinued in 1936 when support faded for the Zvyeno ("link") concept, as the supporters were eliminated in the Stalinist purges.[1]
