Sukhoi Su-10 or Samolet E ( _ru. Aircraft E) was a prototype Soviet turbojet-powered bomber built shortly after World War II.

Development

In 1947, OKB Sukhoi devised a jet-powered day bomber. Due to a lack of sufficiently powerful engines, the aircraft had an unusual arrangement with two jet engines in pods stacked above and below each wing (the original design had called for six Junkers Jumo 004 engines, four in the wings and two in the fuselage under the cockpit). The aircraft had conventional unswept wings and tailplane, although the tail fin was swept at 45°. Ailerons and elevators were hydraulically boosted. For defense, Su-10 was fitted with two cannon-equipped turrets.Shavrov 1994]

The sole prototype was completed in late 1947 and the project was abandoned in 1948 with no flights made.
