The Bolchovitinov S-1 / S-2 is a Soviet prototype low-wing multi-role aircraft from the interwar period. The prototype's flight took place in 1933. The machine was powered by a single M-103 or M-103P engine. The S-1 and S-2 prototypes were designed and built by the Soviet aircraft constructor Viktor F. Bolkhovitinov as, first of all, fast bombing and reconnaissance machines, but they could also act as assault machines or heavy fighters. The flight of the first prototype (S-1) took place in January 1940 and was to be used to check the general flight characteristics of the new machine. The plane had a skis-mounted undercarriage. The second prototype (S-2) was powered by duplicate M-103P engines, driving two counter-rotating propellers, it also had slightly different dimensions than the first prototype and a wheeled undercarriage, retractable in flight. However, the S-2 did not live up to expectations. It reached the top speed of 570 km / h, instead of the assumed 640 km / h. It was also difficult to fly and the pilot had very poor visibility from the cockpit. These disadvantages prevented the machine from entering serial production.
