| Evolved from the La-9 to meet a requirement for a
fighter with sufficient range to fulfil the escort role, the
La-11 was destined to be the last piston-engine fighter
from the Lavochkin bureau. It had a wing fundamentally
similar to that of the La-9 and retained the
ASh-82FN engine, but provision was made to attach
auxiliary fuel tanks at the wingtips, the ventral oil
cooler was incorporated in the engine cowling and
armament was reduced to three 23mm NS-23 cannon.
The first prototype was flown in June 1947 under the
design bureau designation La-134, and production
(1947-51) at Gor'kiy was to total 1,182 aircraft.
The La-11
was supplied in some numbers to both the Chinese and
the North Korean air forces, and saw operational use
during the Korean conflict. It was finally phased out of
first line VVS service in the early 'fifties.
