Manufacturer Chyeranovskii | ||
The BICh-5 was a tail-less bomber aircraft designed in the USSR from 1928.
Development
After the relative success of Chyeranovskii's first tail-less gliders and powered aircraft, the BICh-1 and BICh-2 and BICh-3, he continued the tail-less theme with the BICh-5 bomber. The BICh-5 was to have been a twin-engined tail-less aircraft with a retractable undercarriage, two BMW VI engines and multi segment convex elevons suspended below the trailing edge of the wing. Wind tunnel testing was carried out with a model during 1928 but further work was abandoned in 1929.
