Tu-1, ANT-63, '63P' by A.N.Tupolev
 |
The second SDB, redesigned as an interceptor (Perekhvatchik) and long range escort fighter, equipped with PNB-1 'Gneis' radar. New AM-43V engines were fitted with AV-9K-22A four-blade propellers.
Gun armament was increased, Tu-1 also could carry 1000kg bombload.
Tests carried out during March 22 - November 3, 1947.
No series production followed, because Tu-1 could not compete with jet fighters. Plus AM-43V engines were dropped from development and production plans...
