Utilising the combination of aircraft weight and the power of its engines, the I-29 can easily reach its speed limit of ~720 km/h, after which the wooden wings simply cannot stand up to external forces and will rip off. Along with being an excellent climber, this aircraft is a fantastic diver. Due to its power from the dual V-12 engines, the I-29 accelerates amazingly in horizontal flight, reaching a nominal 567 km/h and also climbs quite well in the vertical, especially with a WEP boost. Both engines run clockwise, resulting in the aircraft having a tendency to pull to the right.įor this heavy fighter to remain as light as possible, it is recommended to head into battle with the minimum amount of fuel for a typical battle. In the event of a prolonged negative overload, the engines will experience fuel starvation which will affect flight performance. WEP ceases to operate at an altitude of ~3,500 m. Even with constant WEP applied, their temperature stabilises at 110–111☌. In good conditions, these engines will not overheat. For a wooden plane weighing just under 4 tons, it's an almost unstoppable force. The heavy fighter aircraft boasts two 12-cylinder V-shaped Klimov M-105PA engines, water cooled and each outputting 1,100 horsepower. If you think that a "big plane" means a "slow plane", the I-29 is a great contender to prove otherwise.
