Antonov Istrebitel

In 1944, Antonov was impressed by Heinkel He 162 jet fighter from Germany. So he tried to made his own design of a superior fighter with a single RD-10 turbojet.  The  armarments was to be 2x NK-23 cannons in nose. The cockpit seemed to be like P-39 Aircobra because it have an openable door.  Later, Soviet requires of a jet fighter, so the project were given the number An-2 or SKh.  But later,  the new jet fighter with better configuration,the Yakolev Yak 10 was flown and tested with the same engine and weapons but more performance so the project of Antonov were no more than the wind tunnel model and cancelled.
