PZL TS-16 Grot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TS-16 Grot (Arrowhead) was a supersonic striker designed by Poland. The project was started in 1958 and cancelled in 1964 for unknown reasons before production could start, although a prototype designated TS-16RD was built. The plane used Soviet RD-9B engines from the MIG-19 although an indigenous engine called the SO-2 was also in development. The production version was to have two engines, although the TS-16RD prototype built had only one.
