What is it my dear Robertino,can you explain more ?.
A little drawing from "AIR iNTERNATIONAL"
volume 51 n°2
The Mig 115 project
Biplane, the hight wing is behind the low one
1 turbo TVB 20 M 1350 hp
span hight wing : 15.00 m
low wing : 12.20 m
lenght : 14.66 m
speed maxi : 410 km/h
Any idea on the airfoils or aspect ratio of the wings? A front or top view would be interesting.
The reverse stagger is interesting - I wonder what the reasoning was?
Known also as the Izdeliye K, the KSK manned version of the KS-1 “Komet” anti-shipping cruise missile conceived to speed up the development of the missile. It’s not coincidence the sort of cute “Lil’ MiG-15” looks of this testbed keeping in mind the use of their MiG-15 shape and configuration by Mikoyan-Gurevich Bureau in the design of their missile. Four examples were produced. Powered by a RD-500 turbojet (a RR Derwent copy), the KSK was launched from a Tu-4KS. The tests flights, both manned and unmanned, took place in the 1951/52 period. Further testing was completed with real KS-1s.
The size of its cockpit gives us a good idea of how tiny this lovely little gem was.
Oh,It looks like a micro fighterThought we already had this but apparently not:

Does the 5.12 even exist? I've found a single image of it and it just links back here.From Kryl'ya Rodine 2015-04/05;
here is the MiG Aircraft 4.12 and 5.12 Projects.
