The Tupolev ANT-37, also called the DB-2, was a Soviet twin-engined long-range bomber of stressed-skin duralumin construction with a high-aspect-ratio wing and retractable tailwheel landing gear. Pavel Sukhoi guided the design team, which based it on the unbuilt single-engined ANT-36 (DB-1). The prototype, powered by 800 hp Gnome-Rhone 14K radial engines, first flew on 16 June 1935 and crashed the next month when its tail broke up; a redesigned DB-2D followed. The type was not ordered into production because the Ilyushin DB-3 was chosen, but three ANT-37bis (DB-2B) aircraft were built for research and record flights, including the Rodina flight of September 1938 by an all-woman crew that set a women's distance record of 5,908 km.
