 I-190 - a biplane design NN Polikarpov, deep modification of commercially produced biplane-153.

It existed in the USSR in the late 1930s. the concept of air combat presupposes the existence of high-speed monoplane (main plane), which were to complement maneuverable biplanes, two-seat fighter and heavy twin-engine fighter. In accordance with these considerations Polikarpov, at the beginning of January 1938 the Air Force received the task to create a maneuverable biplane. Because of the congestion KB other developments begin designing the I-190 was only in the autumn of 1938 more seriously engaged the aircraft began in February 1939 after the third mock-up committee. The first copy of the I-190 was manufactured in the State Aviation Plant â„– 1 (GAS number 1) in October 1939

The first I-190 equipped with advanced gearless motor M 88BRL and experienced a three-blade propeller AV-2. And the engine and propeller were yet in the singular. As for the engine M-88, then the I-190 it established even before the I-180 (the first two experimental-180 flew and crashed with engines M-87). The story of these engines are very protracted, it is obvious, and that was the reason why none of the above aircraft are not enrolled in the Air Force.

Max, what has been achieved on the I-190 until February 1941, is the speed of 488 km / h on the five-kilometer altitude. February 13, 1941 in the course of the planned detour has failed engine M-88R.
