MiG-21 Lancer
MiG-21 was designed as
a clear-weather interceptor and the prototype flew for the first
time in 1957. The aircraft entered mass production in 1958 powered
by a Tumanski R-11 turbojet, but reached its definitive form in
the following year with the MiG-21F, with an engine uprated to
56.39 kN. This paved the way for the MiG-21PF of 1960, with the
uprated R-11F engine and an enlarged inlet to allow the incorporation
of R-1L radar in the centrebody, the MiG-21PFS, with blown flaps
and a ventral pod carrying a 23mm GSh-23L two-barrel cannon, and
the MiG-21PFM, incorporating all the sequential improvements of
earlier models. The second generation MiG-21MF featured additional
fuel, RP-21
The aircraft is equipped with a KM-1M ejection seat, that provides
escape capability for the pilot at 0 m altitude and a minimum
sped of 130 km/h.
