It is the BICh jet project by the Russian:- B I Cheranovskii. Design Bureau

The three-view drawing of this project was discovered only recently. There is no evidence that construction was even started.

The drawing is dated 1944, at a time before any German turbojets had been captured but after publication of the existence of British and US engines of this type. The only turbojet then running in the Soviet Union was the Lyul'ka VRD-2, a slim axial-compressor engine rated at 700kg (1,543 Ib) thrust. This was probably the engine Cheranovskii had in
mind.
