The prototype flight took place in January 1950. The MIG-17 was an extension of the MIG-15 design. The changes focused on a new engine (Klimov WK-1F), better aerodynamics and the use of radar on one of the development versions. Several basic versions of this aircraft were created. The first mass-produced version is the MiG-17F. Another one, equipped with a radar, was the MiG-17PF, and the MiG-17PFU version had the option of guiding the missiles using the on-board radar. The plane was also produced under the license of min. in Poland and China.
