OKB-1 Jet Bomber

The Soviet OKB-1 organization employed German aviation specialists after the Second World War and developed several experimental jet-aircraft projects. Its 140 bomber drew on German wartime work, while the later 150 pursued a more ambitious high-speed design. These programs belonged to Soviet efforts to absorb foreign technical expertise while building a new generation of jet aircraft. Designers investigated swept-wing layouts, propulsion arrangements, structural problems, and flight characteristics that differed markedly from wartime piston-engined bombers. Experimental construction and testing did not lead to an operational OKB-1 bomber fleet. The projects instead formed part of a wider research environment in which technical experience passed into later aircraft development, while other Soviet design organizations supplied the frontline bomber force.
