15 мая 1942 года в СССР состоялся первый полет первого реактивного самолета БИ-1 с жидкостным ракетным двигателем. Его пилотировал лётчик-испытатель, капитан Бахчиванджи Григорий Яковлевич. Самолет имел необычайно малые размеры: размах крыла — 6,48 м, длина — 6,4 м и площадь крыла всего 7,0 кв.м. Вооружение: две пушки ШВАК с 90 снарядами и 38 кг бомб. Подача компонентов в двигатель Д-1-А-1100 (первый азотнокислый с номинальной тягой 1100 кг) осуществлялась из находящихся на борту баллонов сжатого воздуха под давлением 150 атм. Проектируемая продолжительность его полета при скорости 800 км/ч составляла 2 минуты, при со скорости 550-360 км/ч - около 4-5 минут.Проектируемая продолжительность его полета при скорости 800 км/ч составляла 2 минуты, при со скорости 550-360 км/ч - около 4-5 минут.

On May 15, 1942, the first jet aircraft powered by a liquid-propellant rocket engine, the BI-1, took its maiden flight in the USSR. It was piloted by test pilot Captain Grigory Yakovlevich Bakhchivandzhi. The aircraft was unusually compact: a wingspan of 6.48 m, a length of 6.4 m, and a wing area of ​​just 7.0 square meters. It was armed with two ShVAK cannons with 90 rounds and 38 kg of bombs. The D-1-A-1100 engine (the first nitrate engine with a nominal thrust of 1,100 kg) was supplied with components from onboard compressed air tanks at a pressure of 150 atm. The projected duration of its flight at a speed of 800 km/h was 2 minutes, at a speed of 550-360 km/h - about 4-5 minutes.The projected duration of its flight at a speed of 800 km/h was 2 minutes, at a speed of 550-360 km/h - about 4-5 minutes.

I think it needed a little refinement.

It's always a gigglefest when the kids are on a field trip, which is every time I've ever been to the Air Force Museum.

I hear some folks complain that this Beaufighter is on this side of the pond. But hey, glad it is. It's from Australia btw.
