The Tupolev I-14 (also designated ANT-31) was a Soviet fighter aircraft of the 1930s. It was a single-engined, single-seater monoplane with a retractable undercarriage and designed to carry a heavy armament, and as such was one of the most advanced fighters of its time. It was ordered into production, but this was cancelled after only a small number had been built, the competing Polikarpov I-16 being preferred. It was armed with a .30 cal ShKAS machine gun in the lower fuselage, and provision for two Kurchevsky 37mm APK-37 recoilless cannon under the wings each with 5 rounds.
