George Mozharovskii and Ivan Venevidov designers aircraft armament. Their specialty was weapons on planes: all kinds of turrets, reloading, sights, suspension, and dropping bombs, etc. G.M. Mozharovskii done this with 1929, after V.V.I.A, had dozens of patents. I.V. Venevidov older age, came to adopt later, and before that was engaged in equipped aircraft. They worked together, and products with brand “M.V.” belong to them.
In late 1940, they proposed a draft, attack aircraft, single-set, twin-boom pusher schemes, with the single-engine M-88 (or close to it)/AM-38/. The cabin came forward, could be armored. At the base of the tail beams were gun barrels speakers front of the wing. Behind them were small compartments for the smallest fission bomb. Next came mounting the landing gear wheels, retractable by turning back to the same beam. Nose wheel was removed back under the cockpit. The radiator was located under the wing, was for the fan airflow to the engine under the hood.
Small arms anticipated very powerful: two or four guns and as many guns SHKAS in the nose in front cabin. In short, this preliminary project much has been provided, but many people do not take into account (for example, leaving the aircraft in the air), its scheme in three projections were only approximate, with no precise alignment is not final. It provided space and people, was built a model airplane, equipped with all devices. Incidentally, the machine guns in front cabin were movable and could rotate in the vertical plane by tens of degrees (This idea was realized V. Jordan back in 1916, a machine gun mounts on the aircraft Nieuport XI). Demonstration of this prototype representatives N.I.I. V.V.S. took place in late March and April 1, 1941
