My position reflected here -
http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3279.msg26407.html#msg26407
Besides From book: T.Buttler & Ye.Gordon “Soviet Secret Projects fighters since 1945” p.50 . MIDLAND

“ Impression of another unknown Cheranovskiy jet fighter design.
This appears to be rather larger than the BICH-26 and has twin engines and outer wing fins.”

We already know that it handling was difficult, because the test pilot stated "this aircraft was a BICh to fly"...
(ran for cover!)

I think the first aircraft,may be it was the Bich-24,because the Bich-24 was
a tailless delta jet fighter proposal of 1948,and the second was Bich-26,
which was a delta-wing jet fighter capable of supersonic performance.

The Bich-24 and Bich-26 projects had almost the same looks.
The plane in the upper dawing received no designation.

In this site,a member called it as BICh-23;

I don't know if he is right or not ?.

Bich-23 (or Che-23) was a two-seat glider be thought a prototype supersonic aircraft. You mentioned likely member came out of it.
TLC model - designed for research of the wind tunnel T-1 program supersonic Bich-26. (from the book Yu.Makarov - Aircraft MAI)

Thank you for your explanations my dear Borovik.

My version-this is scale model Bich-26

I think what has been described as one version of the Cheranovskij Bich-26 can be found here: http://alternathistory.com/bich-26-sverkhzvukovoi-istrebitel-cheranovskii-sssr-1948-g

EDIT: The model can also be found discussed by its creator in this (rather brilliant) thread here: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,17243.0/all.html

Hi Wingknut,

it was not BICh-26,it was a project from 1944.

I have never seen it described as such. It is just some unidentified Cheranovskiy project, possibly BiCH-24 or -25.

In case you haven't seen it, there's a whole topic on every known Cheranovskiy design here:

It is quite a futuristic looking design, in my opinion, and reminds me of some modern designs.

For the member Klem,

that was not fake design as you think,it was BICh-24.

I suggest that,the drawing was for BICh-25,and may the last part of wing
was variable geometry portion.
