| Kalinin K-5 |
| Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
1929 - The K-5 was the fifth of Kalinin's commercial types that
all had the same wing. It was the most popular of his 13 designs and
fit perfectly in the growing demand for larger transports in the Ukraine.
Most types used the M-22 radial engine. Some aircraft had carpets
and curtains to please and comfort the eight passengers it was able
to carry. By 1934 260 examples were built in Kharkov. In its long
career the K-5 flew on short and medium routes. Recurring problems
with the radial eventually led to the installation of the M-17F inline
engine and the forthcoming trouble with the center of gravity was
taken for granted until the type's last flight in 1941. |
