BICh-26
Role Jet Fighter
National origin USSR
Manufacturer Cheranovsky
Designer Boris Ivanovich Cheranovsky

The BICh-26 was a tail-less jet fighter designed in the Soviet Union from Template:Avyear.

Development

After the close of World War II, Boris Cheranovsky was running a de facto design bureau working on jet fighter aircraft. Not only was Cheranovsky involved with jet propulsion, he also studied variable geometry with the BICh-24 and BICh-25, which were designed with variable sweep wings pivoting outboard of the fuselage to help alleviate centre of pressure changes. Also envisaged was a stressed skin light alloy tailless jet fighter with powered flying controls and pressurised cockpit, designated BICh-26. Cheranovsky's failing health from 1948 prevented further progress on these projects.


Variants
