Soviet istrebitel-polutoraplan-15. In the early 30-ies of the last century in accordance with the existing at that period, the concept involving joint use maneuverable fighter biplanes and high-speed fighter-monoplanes, the Soviet Union developed several new aircraft, various aerodynamic schemes. Known aircraft designer N. Polikarpov, who achieved considerable success in the creation of a fighter-biplane (in particular, step I-5), was commissioned by the beginning of 1933 to create a fighter-biplane I-13 mixed design. However, in the process of working on this machine revealed that the traditional concept of the fighter has no prospects. Work And 13 closed, and the design team of No. 3, together with the head of it.Polikarpov connected to the development of all-metal fighter-monoplane I-14 design Sukhoi.
