Polikarpov I-15 (TsKB-3) single-engine fighter, produced in 1934 A single-seat biplane fighter of composite structure with a "gulled" upper wing, an open cockpit, and non-retractable landing gear. The TsKB-3 fighter was designed in the Central Design Bureau, under the direction of N. N. Polikarpov. It was a further development of the I-5 and I-6 fighters. The main task that the designers faced while creating the TsKB-3 was improving its aerodynamics without significant changes to the aircraft's size. The first prototype got off the ground for the first time in October 1934, piloted by V. P. Chkalov. The plane had an American Wright Cyclone SGR-1820-F-3 nine-cylinder, radial air-cooled engine with a takeoff power of 715 hp. Preparations for the I-15's full-scale production were made before its flight tests were even completed. The first production I-15 fighter was built at Aircraft Factory No. 39 in the middle of the summer of 1934. The production fighter's armament consisted of two 7.62 mm synchronous PV-1 machine guns ("PV" meaning "air machine gun", a version of the Maxim gun that was designed to be mounted on aircraft) with 750 rounds each. Belt-fed rounds were housed in the central section of the fuselage right behind the fuel tank. Link collectors were placed there, too. Empty cartridges were ejected outside and allowed to fall to the ground. Aiming while firing was performed with the help of an OP-1 optical sight (a version of the British Aldis) placed on the rib of the pilot's windshield. A backup KP-5 iron ring sight was fastened to the optical sight's tube. Four Der-32 bomb racks could be fitted under the lower wing for small-sized bombs with a total weight of up to 40 kg (4 P-7s, or 4 AO-8s, or 4 AO-10s), but two 50 kg bombs could be taken when overloading. A total of 94 I-15 fighters were produced in 1934 by two Moscow Aircraft Factories, No. 1 and No. 39. These aircraft were mainly equipped with American Wright Cyclone SGR-1820-F-3 engines. The first batch of such engines, 50 in all, was delivered before April 1934. Subsequent batches underwent modifications and improvements at the Soviet party's request; in particular, changes were introduced into the synchronization mechanism mounted on the engine.
