The Tupolev-Myasishchec Type 31 was believed to be an interim bomber design built only in pre-production quantities and used to test the turboprop power plants later employed by the type 40 Bear. The type 31 Barge originally employed diesel engines believed to be 4300 hp M-224, but these were later replaced by four turbines of about 4500 shp, plus 1200 lb residual thrust.
