The Sukhoi Su-10, also known as Izdeliye Ye, was a Soviet turbojet-powered bomber built shortly after the Second World War. The bureau was tasked on 26 February 1946 with building a bomber powered by four Lyulka TR-1A or six RD-10 turbojets, and many configurations were studied before the design was frozen. It was a multi-engine jet bomber with a crew of four, an all-metal semi-monocoque airframe, shoulder-mounted trapezoidal wings and engine nacelles arranged in vertically staggered pairs, with U-5 rocket boosters to help take-off. A Council of Ministers directive of 11 March 1947 settled on four TR-1A engines. The first prototype was ready for flight tests when the bureau was shut down and all work stopped, so it never flew, and the airframe went to the Moscow Aviation Institute as an instructional aid.
