Junkers (Baade) EF 137

[boxkite]

A highly recommended book regarding the postwar developments of Baade's group in the USSR and the GDR is "Kennzeichen <<Junkers>> - Ingenieure zwischen Faust-Anspruch und Gretchen-Frage" by Holger Lorenz, published in 2005 (ISBN 3931770575). Btw, it was the first time the EF 137 fighter design was shown in an official publication.

EF 137 was a real project. Drawings were found in Brunolf Baade's sketchbook (original drawing is dated 3rd Oct 1946).

It was developed by Baade OKB which consisted of captured designers from a Junkers plant and eventually (after many changes) became Sukhoi, right? The EF-137 is the final descendant of world war two German design philosophy (in other words there was never funding to test it - so it still probably contains some flawed assumptions from the 40's).

The Baade team did "become" Sukhoi OKB, since that OKB was already in operation. Bruno Baade went to the DDR and constructed an unsuccessfull airliner prototype using outdated aerodynamics.

There was more than just one OKB-1 (Keith Dexter listed all the different OKB-1s on the Internet a few years ago, but URL doesn't work no longer). Brunolf (not Bruno) Baade's OKB-1 (located in Podberezye) existed from 1946 to 1956, but Sukhoi's design bureau of the same designation was founded in 1953, located in Moscow-Khodynka, and redesignated into OKB-51 on 15 Jan 1954, long before Baade's OKB-1 was closed.

Several bits merged into this new topic. Feel free to add!

The 3-view and some info about the EF-137 from Buttler/Gordon "Soviet Secret Projects - Fighters since 1945" (page 34-35).

P.S. Wouldn't it be more proper to place it into "Postwar Projects"?

Junkers EF137

Is there info on this project.
he Junkers EF137 was a Jet fighter study, which probably was already started in Germany during WWII and which was continued after the Soviet occupation of Dessau. In October 1946 the Performance calculations for the EF137 were finished. It is unknown if the EF137 was continued in Podesbereje at the OKB-1.
