few words about a hero section:)
In 1947 Mikoyan and Gurevich bureau has designed a modern fighter airframe designated as I-310 ("I" from istriebitiel - fighter), but lacked in the Soviet Union motor suitable for this modern machine. The problem was solved when the British government has released its new Soviet turbojet engine, Rolls-Royce Nene Mk. I which in a short time, copied and labeled Klimov RD-45. This solved the problem and the third prototype of the new engine took to the air 30 December 1947. A new type of machine under the designation MiG-15 entered service in early 1949.
In the same year was also an improved version of an airplane with an engine WK-1 with a larger sequence, designated as the MiG-15bis, and in 1950 - Two-seat training version of the MiG-15 UTI. The production is also undertaken in Poland and Czechoslovakia. These machines are
