Features
Much like the F-86F, the leap forward the MiG-15bis represents needs to be measured against the WWII prop planes that preceded it, not with anything that followed afterwards (including the F-86F). Many of these advanced features are similar to what would soon be found in the Sabre, and for similar reasons:
- Speed brakes(!) to get (or stay) out of the high compressibility state when the flight controls no longer work properly.
- Stageless flaps for even more speed and lift control.
- A tricycle landing gear (but still differential braking rather than proper nose-wheel steering or toe brakes).
- A 37mm cannon to burst B-29:s (and a pair of 23mm cannons for smaller targets).
- A very… curious split radio system that uses (anything but) easily remembered “wave numbers” rather than imperialist pigdog frequencies.
- ARK-5 NDB navigation.
- A whimsical attitude to instrument placement.
