The Shavrov Sh-7 was a Soviet civil transport amphibious aircraft designed by Vadim Shavrov. [1] Although it was ordered into production for Aeroflot, the start of the Great Patriotic War resulted in only a single prototype being built. [1]
The Sh-7 was an amphibious flying boat with a cantilever monoplane wing mounted high on the fuselage. [1] It had a crew of two and a cabin for four passengers. Its single MG-31F engine was strut-mounted above the wing, driving a two-bladed propeller. [2] The prototype first flew on 16 June 1940 and by the end of the year it was decided to put the type into production. [1] The start of the Great Patriotic War in June 1941 halted production and the prototype was then used to carry freight and passengers between Saratov and Astrakhan for a few months. [2]
