The OKB-1 '140', was a jet bomber produced in the USSR from 1947.
The Tupolev TB-1 was a Soviet bomber aircraft, an angular monoplane that served as the backbone of the Soviet bomber force for many years, and was the first large all-metal aircraft built in the Soviet Union.
The Yermolayev Yer-2 was a long-range Soviet medium bomber used during World War II. It was developed from the Bartini Stal-7 prototype airliner before the war. It was used to bomb Berlin from airbases in Estonia after Operation Barbarossa began in 1941. Production was terminated in August 1941 to allow the factory to concentrate on building higher-priority Ilyushin Il-2 ground-attack aircraft, but was restarted at the end of 1943 with new, fuel-efficient, Charomskiy ACh-30B aircraft Diesel engines.
The Yakovlev Yak-4 was a Soviet light bomber used during World War II. It was developed from the Ya-22/Yak-2.
The Polikarpov R-5 was a Soviet reconnaissance bomber aircraft of the 1930s. It was the standard light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft of the Soviet Air Force for much of the 1930s, while also being used heavily as a civilian light transport, some 7,000 being built in total.
The Tupolev ANT-16 was an experimental heavy bomber aircraft designed and tested in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s.
Tupolev TB-6 was a proposal by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the 1930s for a super-heavy bomber. Had it been built, it would have been the biggest-ever Soviet bomber and the largest aircraft by wingspan of its time, nine feet short of the 320 foot span of the Hughes H-4 Hercules, although the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch is now the biggest plane by wingspan.
The BICh-3 was a tailless research aircraft designed and built in the USSR in 1926.
The BICh-7 was a tailless sport/touring aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1929.
The BICh-14 was a twin-engined tailless sport / touring aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1934.
The BICh-11 was a twin-engined tailless research aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1931.
The BICh-20 Pionyer was a tailless research aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1937.
The BICh-21 was a tail-less racing aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1938.
The BICh-26 was a tailless jet fighter designed in the Soviet Union from 1947.
The Bolkhovitinov DB-A was a heavy bomber aircraft designed and built in the USSR from 1934.
The Tupolev ANT-10 was a prototype single-engined light bomber/reconnaissance aircraft of the 1930s. Only a single example was built, the Polikarpov R-5 being preferred.
The Ilyushin DB-4 or TsKB-56 was a Soviet twin-engined bomber aircraft of the early 1940s. It was a development of the Ilyushin DB-3 and was intended as a replacement for the earlier aircraft, but only two prototypes were built; engine problems and the need to concentrate production on existing types following the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 meant that no more examples were built.
The Tupolev ANT-41 was a prototype Soviet twin-engined torpedo-bomber of the 1930s. A single prototype was built, which was destroyed in a crash. No production followed, with the Ilyushin DB-3 serving as a torpedo bomber instead.
The Moskalyev SAM-7 Sigma was a one-off, Soviet, experimental tailless fighter aircraft.
The Moskalyev SAM-9 Strela (Arrow) was a one-off, Soviet, 1930s experimental tailless aircraft designed to test the characteristics of a leaf-shaped low-aspect-ratio delta wing.
