The Moskaljow SAM-13 ( Russian Москалёв САМ-13 ) is an ultra-light test fighter designed by the Soviet designer Alexander Moskaljow .
development
At the end of the 1930s, OKB Moskaljow began developing an ultra-light test interceptor under the designation SAM-13, a two-engine low-wing aircraft made entirely of wood with a double tail unit and retractable nose wheel landing gear. The two engines were arranged in tandem with a push and pull propeller each, the cabin with the closed cockpit was between the engines. The armament was arranged in the central wing. Due to the consistent use of wood and the economical use of metal, the construction was significantly lighter than comparable models of its time, but had insufficient engine power overall. The first flight took place in the summer of 1940 with N. Fikson, whereby the flight had to take place with the landing gear fixed due to problems with the retraction mechanism. During further testing with Mark Gallai , flutter phenomena became apparent, and extensive improvements were necessary to eliminate them. This and the beginning of the war also prevented series production.
