The
Torpedo was a two-seat fighter with a wooden monocoque fuselage. It was
the first such aircraft built in Russia. The aircraft had very clean
lines, it's engine was completely covered with a cowling and the
propeller was fitted with a large spinner. The design proved to be
unsuccessful because the split wing resulted in increased drag and a
loss of lift. One plane was built at the Anatra factory in February
1917, and was flown on March 6-20 in Odessa. The aircraft flew well,
but it was underpowered. This aircraft was used later as a trainer.
