A link with pictures of soviet aircraft apparently designed in Leningrad in the late 30s early 40s:

Most curious is a kind of precursor of the well known Antonov 2.

Hi,

The СХ-1 (SKh-1), sometimes also found as the СХ-А (SKh-A) was the prototype of the Antonov An-2, first flown in 1947.

Airplane SKh-1 (LIG-10) / СХ-1 (ЛИГ-10) design by A.Bedunkovich, passed state tests in 1937-1938.


Ten years later, August 31, 1947 flew up the prototype of the future of An-2 designs O.Antonov (was based on the project №4).
It is interesting that at first he was designated as the CX-1.
That is, as well as the plane Bedunkovich, hence the confusion.

Thanks for the détails and drawings ....

Oh, I see... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Made a horrible confusion between the Bedunkovich and Antonov designs... Both transport biplanes and both designated CX-1...

I'm feeling so stupid now... :'(

Were folding wings an option on AN-2 production?

I don't think so, but again, This SKh-1 and the An-2 prototype are not related. SKh-1 simply means сельскохозяйственный (Selskokhozyaystvennyy), or agricultural plane no. 1.
