UTI-2, UTI-3, I-16 Type 14 by N.N.Polikarpov

Trainer version (see UTI) of the I-16 Type 4. It was a necessity, because direct transition of young pilots from excusive U-2 biplane to 'hot' I-16 caused high accident rate.
Type 14 was equipped with dual controls. Folding "Blind flight" hood on the rear cockpit for instrument training was optional. No armament carried to save weight. Some were built with fixed landing gear and designated UTI-3. Powered by M-22 engine.
Production was very limited, because more powerful M-25 engine became available, and more advanced UTI-4 was soon to became available.
The standard training 'sequence' for fighter pilots was :
|
|
 |
|
UT-2 primary 2-seat monoplane trainer (A.S.Yakovlev) |
UT-1 advanced 1-seat monoplane trainer (A.S.Yakovlev) |
UTI-2 conversion trainer N.N.Polikarpov |
