The Ilyushin Il-30 was a Soviet turbojet-powered tactical bomber designed as a higher-performance, swept wing version of the Ilyushin Il-28, in the late 1940s. Its thin wing and engine nacelles necessitated the use of tandem landing gear, the first Soviet aircraft to do so. It was apparently canceled before the prototype made its first flight, although sources disagree with this.
The Hiro H1H was a 1920s Japanese bomber or reconnaissance biplane flying boat developed from the Felixstowe F.5 by the Hiro Naval Arsenal for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The aircraft were built by Hiro, the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal and Aichi.
The BICh-26 was a tailless jet fighter designed in the Soviet Union from 1947.
The Tupolev Tu-82 was a 1940s Soviet experimental swept-wing bomber. It was the first Soviet jet bomber with swept wings.
The Ilyushin Il-18 was a Soviet four-engined airliner designed and built by Ilyushin immediately after World War II. Although the aircraft itself was successful, its Shvetsov ASh-73TK engines were too unreliable for civilian use and were further needed to equip the Tupolev Tu-4 bomber, so it was cancelled in 1948.
The Beriev MBR-7 was a Soviet short-range reconnaissance/bomber flying boat developed by the Beriev design bureau at Taganrog. Designed as a successor to the MBR-2 but it did not go into production due to lack of engines.
The Beriev MDR-5 (sometimes Beriev MS-5) was a Soviet long-range reconnaissance/bomber flying boat prototype developed by the Beriev design bureau at Taganrog. It did not enter production as the rival Chyetverikov MDR-6 was preferred.
The Bratukhin B-11 was a prototype Soviet twin-rotor transport helicopter and the last design of the Bratukhin aircraft design bureau to be built.
The Bratukhin B-5 was a prototype Soviet twin-rotor transport helicopter designed by the Bratukhin aircraft design bureau.
The Tupolev ANT-37 was a Soviet twin-engined long-range bomber designed and built by the Tupolev design bureau, the design team operating under the guidance of Pavel Sukhoi. The aircraft did not enter production, but three examples of the type were used for research and record breaking flights.
The Yatsenko I-28 was a 1930s Soviet single-seat fighter designed by Vladmir Yatsenko and first flown in 1939. The I-28 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of mixed construction powered by a 900 hp (671 kW) Tumansky M-87 radial piston engine. It had an enclosed single-seat cockpit with a rearwards sliding canopy. The wing had an inverted-gull shape to reduce the length of the retractable main landing legs. The prototype was destroyed shortly after the first flight but an order was placed for 30 production aircraft. Also ordered was a prototype of an attack version, the I-28Sh. Although the first five production aircraft were completed the programme was cancelled in early 1940.
The Yakovlev AIR-1 (VVA-3) was a 1920s Soviet two-seat light biplane, the first aircraft designed and built by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev.
The Focke-Wulf GL 18 was a 1920s German light transport monoplane, designed and built by Focke-Wulf.
The Yakovlev Yak-10 was a Soviet light liaison aircraft designed and built by the Yakovlev design bureau in the 1940s.
The Shavrov Sh-7 was a Soviet civil transport amphibious aircraft designed by Vadim Shavrov. Although it was ordered into production for Aeroflot, the start of the Great Patriotic War resulted in only a single prototype being built.
The Yakovlev AIR-3 was a 1920s Soviet two-seat general aviation monoplane designed and built by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev.
The Darmstadt D-29 was a German experimental monoplane designed and built by Akaflieg Darmstadt. The D-29 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane designed and built during 1936 with a conventional landing gear with a tailskid. It was powered by a Siemens-Halske Sh 14a radial piston engine and had enclosed tandem cockpits, as well as a number of other features, including hydraulically actuated trailing-edge flaps, a braced T-tail and leading-edge slots.
The Chyeranovskii BICh-16 is an experimental Soviet man-powered ornithopter designed and built by Boris Ivanovich Cheranovsky. The BiCH-16 was a wooden construction tailless design with a braced skid landing gear and the wings moved by pedals. It was first flown by R.A. Pischuchev as a glider after launch by cable but it was unstable and re-built a number of times before being abandoned in 1938.
The Yakovlev AIR-5 was a prototype Soviet single-engined cabin monoplane designed by the Yakovlev design bureau. The AIR-5 was a high-wing strut-braced monoplane with a 200 hp (149 kW) Wright J-4 Whirlwind engine. It had a tubular steel fuselage, wooden wings and an enclosed cabin for a pilot and three passengers.
The Polikarpov Ivanov was a 1930s prototype Soviet ground attack monoplane designed by Polikarpov for a soviet government procurement competition codenamed Ivanov.
