| Infos techniques | The "Komar" ("Gnat") is of pod-and-boom type and is a high-wing monoplane of wooden construction, the end of the boom forming the rudder king-post. Four wires attached to the outer edge of the wing centre-section ensure the rigidity of the boom and the horizontal position of the tailplane. There are also two wires bracing the nose to the wing strut anachment point. Seating is in tandem under a long canopy with no step-·up. The rear pilot's seat is under the wing and, though he has good visiblltty, his access to the cockpit is far from easy. He enters through a small door under the wing and above the undercarriage forging, and his access is hindered by the bracing and by the narrowness of the opening. This could be remedied by sweeping the wing forward and moving the wing attachment back to behind the bulkhead aft of the rear seat. an alteration which would probably improve the aerodynamic qualities too.
The wings at present have a rectangular centre section, tapered outer sections and rounded tips. Flaps are fitted under the wing centre section and the ailerons occupy the whole trailing edge of the outer sections except for the tips. Taper is much more marked on the trailing edge than on the leading edge. Spoilers are fitted at about 30% chord on the centre section at the junction with the outer sections. The tail unit is angular, rather like that of the Sheremetev XXX Let, but with more taper on tailplane and with large elevator cut-out. The landing gear consists of a skid with rubber shock absorption with a wheel aft of it. |
| Histoire résumée | Un concours de design de planeur biplace d'entraînement organisé en URSS en 1956, en vue de remplacer le célèbre Antonov A-2, qui après 20 ans de bons et loyaux services, ne répond plus maintenant aux standards actuels. Le concours était organisé par la DOSAAF qui avait envoyé des invitations à participer à de nombreux designers et organismes. Toutes les inscriptions ont été faites sous des pseudonymes afin que les noms des concepteurs ne soient révélés qu'après la publication des résultats. Le règlement stipulait que le projet devait conduire à une construction facile, pour une machine légère et robuste, mais ayant de bonnes qualités de vol.
Le Komar fut l'un des projets ayant participé à ce concours.
