Lavochkin La-9
The Lavochkin La-9 (Also known as La-130, NATO reporting name Fritz) was a Soviet fighter aircraft.
The La-9 was a development of the La-126. It looked similar to the La-7, but it had an entirely new all-metal construction. The big problem of the La-9 series was the continuing unavailability of new, more powerful engines, and it never reached its full potential. Only 16 produced, because improved La-11 was ready. One 1850hp/1350kW Shvetsov ASh-82FN engine. Development of 1946.
- Version with pulse jets: La-138.
- Later production modification: La-11.
Designation Series: La-5 – La-7 – La-9 – La-11 – La-15
