The Antonov OKA-38 Aist (also Antonov SchS was for Schtab-Swjasnoi) as the high-wing monoplane been deliberate liaison aircraft of Soviet production.

development

The aircraft had rigid slats , landing flaps that could be extended up to 40 °, and a generously glazed pilot's cockpit. The landing gear was not retractable. The fuselage was welded from steel tubes, while the wings and the tail unit were made from fabric-covered wooden profiles.

Two variants were planned, a reconnaissance / liaison aircraft variant and an Antonov N-2 ambulance aircraft version for two lying wounded and an accompanying person with a door of 2.3 m × 1.1 m on the left side.

The aircraft is an unlicensed replica of the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, one of which was purchased by the Soviet Union in 1940. The Argus engine was, however, replaced by an over-compressed French Renault MV-6 engine (nominal pressure height 2000 m). Like the original, the OKA-38 was characterized by good STOL properties, but did not fully match the qualities of the original. The construction was carried out in 1940 on behalf of Stalin , but due to the advance of the German invaders into the Soviet Union, it was not built in series from 1941, as the intended production facility had to be evacuated.
