Polikarpov I-185
The Polikarpov I-185 was a Soviet fighter aircraft designed in 1940. It was flown with three engines but all of them were either insufficiently developed for service use or their full production was reserved for other fighters already in production. The I-185 program was cancelled on 27 January 1943. Engines used with the I-185 included the Shevstov M-71, which was more prominent and the Shevstov M-82, which was also used on Lavochkin La-5 fighters. Only a few M-82 variants were produced.
