Aircraft designer M.I.GUDKOV (one of the triumvirate "LaGG")
Gu-1 (Gu-37) 1940
On scheme close to American Bell Airacobra
Aerodynamic clear, nearly perfect… but... constructive overloading nearly in all.
engine :AM-37
weights :loaded 4610kg
empty 3742 kg
lenght:10,68 m
span:10,0 m
armament :1x37 Taubin’s gun
6x12,7
LaGG-3 with RD-1 (Gu-1) 1942 October
Project provided accomodation of the engine on “redan” to scheme
Change were subjected to center section wings, carriage. In connection with than was increased range/span.
engine :RD-1 (Lyul’ka axial turbojet)
lenght:9,00 m
span:10,50 m
max speed :700 km/h
Gu-VRD 1943 April
engine :TKVRD (design by Lyul’ka)
max speed :870 km/h (accounting)
weights : 2250kg
range:700km
armament :1x20 ShVAK
1x12,7 BS
Both these project with original location of the engine for three years have overtaken Yak-15 with Jumo.004 and were wholly regardless of like german projects.
