## About This Content
The I-16 was a Soviet, monoplane fighter developed during the 1930s inter-war
years. It was innovative for its time with a low-wing cantilever design and
retractable landing gear. It was the USSR’s primary fighter at the start of
World War 2 where it primarily battled the Bf 109 Emil. In addition to the
Second World War, the I-16 was also used in the Spanish Civil War and the
second Sino-Japanese War.
The I-16 type 24 was powered by an M-63 radial engine that gave it a top speed
of 462 kph. The aircraft was armed with four 7.62 ShKAS machine guns. In
total, 7,000 single seat versions of this famous fighter were built.
The I-16 is a fun and interesting aircraft and further grows our stable of
warbirds. This aircraft is particularly interesting when flown in virtual
reality.
