Su-3, product 360High Altitude Fighter-InterceptorSukhoi![]()
In the fall of 1941, the design bureau was evacuated to the east. During the evacuation, work on the still unfinished Su-3 was continued. With a slightly lower empty weight - 2480 kg - the Su-3 also showed good results during tests; when the vehicle was operating, the speed at an altitude of 10,000 m reached 638 km/h. The lack of knowledge of the turbocharger did not allow the aircraft to be put into production. In 1942, the aircraft was tested at the Flight Research Institute, which were not fully completed, and the aircraft was transferred to the Air Force Research Institute. For comparison, the table shows data for aircraft of the beginning of the Second World War with the M-105P engine. |
