UTI-5, NV-2bis-MG-31 by
V.V.Nikitin
Substantially
strengthened NV-2, modified for the
MG-31 engine. UTI-5 was built under
UVVS and flown in
1939 by
pilots of NII VVS,
and Osoaviakhim. It was armed with single
ShKAS machinegun with 250 rounds.
Aircraft was similar in layout to the I-16, but general design quality was
far superior. Conclusion of more than 40 pilots who tried UTI-5 was positive. It was suitable as an advanced fighter-trainer.
VVS ordered batch of 20 aircraft. Production started, but cancelled half-way.
