I-190 N.N.Polikarpov
 |
The last flown derivative of the I-153 biplane fighter. Powered with new compact M-88 engine aircraft included many improvements suggested during combat in Spain and Mongolia. As well as the predecessor, it was intended for highly maneuverable dogfight in cooperation with high-speed fighters (I-16). It was a biplane fighter brought to its perfection. But it was already obsolete and unable to compete with monoplane fighters.
Spinner had 150mm central ventilation intake, with ventilation blades integrated into rear surface of spinner.
First flight took place December 30, 1939 (pilot A.I.Zhukov). M-88, M-88R, M-88A engines were tried with different propellers. After crash on February 30, 1941 project was cancelled.
The second I-190 (equipped with pressurized cockpit and turbocharger for high altitude operations) was not finished.
