Development

After WWII was finished Chyeranovskii was running a de facto OKB working on jet fighter aircraft. Not only was Chteranovskii involved with jet propulsion he also studied variable geometry with the BICh-24 and BICh-25 which were designed with variable sweep wings pivoting outboard of the fuselage to help alleviate centre of pressure changes. Also envisaged was a stressed skin light alloy tailless jet fighter with powered flying controls and pressurised cockpit designated BICh-26. Chyeranovskii's failing health from 1948 prevented further progress on these projects.

Variants
