The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (Russian: МикоÑн и Гуревич МиГ-9,USAF/DOD designation Type 1, NATO reporting name: Fargo[1]) was the first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the years immediately afterWorld War II. It used reverse-engineered German BMW 003 engines. Categorized as a first generation jet fighter, it was moderately successful, but suffered from persistent problems with engine flameouts when firing its guns at high altitudes due to gun gas ingestion. A number of different armament configurations were tested, but nothing solved the problem. Several different engines were evaluated, but none were flown as the prototype of the MiG-15promised superior performance. |
