History
The MiG-15, a formidable adversary to the U.S. F-86 during the Korean War, shocked Western powers with its remarkable capabilities. In response to an urgent requirement for a high-altitude day interceptor, the Soviet Union designed the aircraft in 1946. By late 1947, it took its first flight. Notably, the MiG-15 marked the Soviet Union's initial utilization of the recently acquired Rolls Royce Nene and Derwent jet engines from Britain, which they promptly reverse-engineered and improved upon. This innovation led to the development of the RD-500, Klimov RD-45, and modified VK-1 engines, propelling Soviet jet technology to new heights.
Distinguished by its pioneering features, the MiG-15 incorporated the first-ever swept-wing design in production, a pressurized cockpit, and an ejection seat within a Soviet aircraft. Although Mikoyan and Gurevich were aware of German advancements in turbojet and swept-wing technologies, the MiG-15's design was entirely Russian with the exception of the engine. This particular version, the MiG-15bis, underwent a modification known as the Chinese Ji-2, which was also adopted by the Soviet Union.
