I-231, '2D', A.I.Mikoyan/M.I.Gurevich


Almost identical to I-230/D/MiG-3U but with AM-39 engine and all-metal fuselage.

Performance improved, but the engine failed to enter mass production and aircraft remained experimental. It was the last aircraft with MiG-1/I-200 size airframe. Further improvement of performance required more powerful engines and increased size of the aircraft.


Predecessor I-230/D/MiG-3U
