Lavochkin La-190
![]()
The La-190 was conceived to meet the October 1948 demand of Yosif Stalin for the "fastest fighter in the world''. Other contenders were the I-350, progenitor of the MiG-19, and the Yak-1000, which, in the event, was to be abandoned before flight testing. The requirement called for use of the new Lyulka AL-5 turbojet which had an initial rating of 4600kg. ![]()
