History

La-5FN was the second and the most successful modification of the La-5 variant, designed by the Lavochkin bureau. It entered production in 1943, with 4817 La-5FNs built in total.

La-5FN used the La-5F’s Type-39 body as a base, with added improvements. La-5FN’s main improvement over the La-5 and La-5F, was the ASh-82FN Engine. The ‘F’ in the ‘FN’ designation stood for ‘Forsirovaniy’ which translates to ‘Forced or Boosted’ and ‘N’ stood for ‘Neposredstvenniy’ meaning ‘Neposredstvenniy vprisk' which translates to ‘Direct injection’. This was an engine in which a carburator (still being used in the engines of the previous La-5 models) was replaced for a direct fuel injection system, which improved the engine’s performance and power. The symbol ‘?H’ which is the cyrillic letters ‘FN’ , inclosed in a rhombus, was painted in white onto the engine cowling and the tip of the tail of the airplanes to help identify them as La-5FN.
