The Polikarpov I-6 was a Soviet biplane fighter prototype of the late 1920s. It was designed with traditional wooden construction in comparison with the wood and steel tube construction Polikarpov I-5. Its development took longer than planned and the lead designer, Nikolai Polikarpov, was arrested for industrial sabotage, which only further delayed the project. Only two prototypes were built, as the I-5 was selected for production. Design and developmentDevelopment of the I-6 (Istrebitel{{'}}—fighter) began in September 1928 with a deadline for delivery for the first prototype of 1 August 1929 after the first prototypes of the Polikarpov I-3 were completed. Although the new fighter shared many of the characteristics of the earlier design, including the staggered sesquiplane, single-bay, layout of the wings, it was a new design which used a nine-cylinder, single-row, air-cooled Bristol Jupiter radial engine rather the water-cooled inline engine of its predecessor. It was designed by the OSS ({{lang-ru|Otdel Sookhoputnykh Samolyotov}}—Landplane Department), later redesignated as OPO-1 ({{lang-ru|Opytnyy Otdel}}—Experimental Department) of Aviatrest ("Aviation Trust") under the supervision of Nikolai Polikarpov, head designer of the department. It was originally intended to be compared to the I-3, but this was changed to an evaluation of construction methods with the wooden construction I-6 compared to the mixed construction Polikarpov I-5. Both aircraft used the Jupiter VI engine for which a license had recently been negotiated.[1] The I-6 had an oval-section semi-monocoque fuselage covered with 'shpon', molded birch plywood, with a small headrest faired into the fuselage, although the engine was enclosed in a metal cowling that left the cylinder heads exposed for better cooling. The two-spar wings were covered in plywood and fabric and had a Clark Y profile. Internal bracing wires were fitted to reinforce the wings. The control surfaces were framed in duralumin, but covered in fabric. The duralumin N-type struts that separated the wings, and attached the upper wing to the fuselage, had a teardrop profile. They were reinforced with steel bracing wires. The conventional undercarriage was fixed with rubber shock absorbers. The wooden propeller was given a spinner.[2] The lighter weight of the air-cooled Jupiter engine, which required neither a heavy radiator nor coolant, meant that the I-6 had an empty weight only 62% of that of the I-3.[1] Polikarpov was arrested and imprisoned by the OGPU in September 1929 for the crime of industrial sabotage when neither the I-6 nor the I-5 projects met their stipulated deadlines,[3] and this delayed the first flight of the I-6 until 30 March 1930. The second prototype was completed shortly thereafter and both aircraft appeared in that year's May Day fly-past over Moscow. Both aircraft likely used imported engines before they were replaced by the Soviet-built copy of the Jupiter, the Shvetsov M-22. One I-6 crashed on 13 June 1930 after the test pilot bailed out, without justification, in the opinion of the Soviet aviation historian Vadim B. Shavrov.[1] The I-5 and the I-6 were virtually identical in performance, although the I-6 took 15 seconds to complete a full circle versus the 9.5 seconds of the I-5. Both aircraft were armed with two 7.62 mm (0.3 in) PV-1 machine guns, but the production model of the I-5 was expected to be armed with four, although this proved to impose too great a penalty to the I-5's performance. The exact reasons for the selection of the I-5 over the I-6, which was debated for a full year, are not known, but likely relate to both of these factors. Curiously, Polikarpov was not informed of the selection of the I-5 until his release in 1933[1] after his initial sentence of death had been commuted to ten years of imprisonment in a labor camp.[4] Specifications{{aircraft specifications|plane or copter?=plane |jet or prop?=prop |ref=Shavrov, Istoriia konstruktskii samoletov v SSSR do 1938 g. |crew=1 |capacity= |length main=6.8 m |length alt=22 ft 4 in |span main=10 m |span alt=32 ft 10 in |height main= |height alt= |area main=20.5 m² |area alt=220.7 ft² |airfoil= |empty weight main=868 kg |empty weight alt=1,914 lb |loaded weight main=1,280 kg |loaded weight alt=2,822 lb |max takeoff weight main= |max takeoff weight alt= |more general= |engine (prop)=Shvetsov M-22 |type of prop=radial engine |number of props=1 |power main=313 kW |power alt=420 hp |max speed main=280 km/h |max speed alt=151 kn, 174 mph |range main=700 km |range alt=378 nmi, 435 mi |ceiling main=7,500 m |ceiling alt=24,606 ft |loading main=62 kg/m² |loading alt=13 lb/ft² |power/mass main=245 W/kg |power/mass alt=0.15 hp/lb |more performance=
