The Mikoyan-Gurewitsch Je-266 ( Russian Микоян-Гуревич Е-266 ) is the record version of the MiG-25 from the Soviet manufacturer MiG . Je-266 was a camouflage name for the three prototypes Je-155R-1, Je-155R-3 and Je-155P-1. The machine, registered in the 1970s as the Je-266M, was the test vehicle Je-155M with more powerful R-15BF2-300 engines.
development
The start of design for the Je-266 is dated March 10, 1960. In February 1962, the construction of the aircraft was approved by the Council of Ministers of the USSR . The first prototype Je-155R-1 (tactical number 1155 ) was completed at the end of 1963. The scooter trials began in February 1964 and on March 6, 1964, the first flight was carried out by Alexander Fedotow . The second prototype Je-155P-1 with a modified leading edge sweep flew for the first time on September 9, 1964. The third prototype Je-155R-3, which was presented to the public in July 1967, was also created. From 1965 to 1973, the type set eleven world records, including a speed record on a 1000-kilometer circuit. In another record attempt, the pilot Igor Lesnikov was killed on October 30, 1967 when his plane crashed due to a broken wing. In the mid-1970s, the further development Je-266M , equipped with improved engines, appeared , with which Alexander Fedotow was able to set an absolute world altitude record of 37,650 meters on August 31, 1977. Another record aircraft is the Je-133 version of the two-seater MiG-25U , with which Svetlana Zavitskaya was able to break four altitude and speed records recognized by the FAI , such as the speed record for women with 2683.44 km / h from 22 June 1975. A total of 22 world records were flown with the Je-266 / Je-133.
The single-seat heavy all-weather interceptor and long-range fighter MiG-25 was developed from the prototype for a large-scale air defense.
