The I-250, internal designation Samolet N and also called the MiG-13, was a Soviet fighter built in a crash programme of 1944 to answer German turbojet aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Me 262. Because the jet engine was still experimental in the Soviet Union, the Mikoyan-Gurevich bureau chose a mixed-power layout: a Klimov VK-107 V12 piston engine that also drove the compressor of a VRDK motorjet booster, which gave a top speed of 820 km/h in trials. The first prototype killed its test pilot in July 1945 when a tailplane failed, ten pre-production aircraft were delivered, and production problems with the VRDK delayed the work until the programme was cancelled in 1948 as obsolete.
