Development

Late in 1935 V.K. Tairov helped form the OKO (experimental design section) in Kiev. In 1937 the OKO-1 was completed as a six-seat passenger transport, with all wood construction, this single engined monoplane demonstrated good performance with state-of-the-art systems. Electrically driven flaps, pneumatic wheel brakes, trimmers on all the tail surfaces, heated cabin, lighting and instruments for night or blind flying, full sound-proofing and full GVF(civil air fleet) equipment were all incorporated. The performance of the aircraft in flight tests was regarded as excellent but, for unknown reasons, production was not undertaken.

gollark: Edge is basically just Chromium now anywya.
gollark: They like backward compatibility so obviously there'll just be some sort of extreme WINE thing.
gollark: See, MS likely doesn't want to maintain their own kernel and stuff. The implications are obviously obvious: MS is looking to port Windows to run on the Linux kernel, and thingying Edge is a test.
gollark: Or a test for the confusing future of Windows for Linux™.
gollark: EEE™.
