Tupolev ANT-3

Tupolev acquired much experience in building his first two aircraft, which he put into the next one, the ANT-3. By this time, Soviet Air Force leaders were convinced that metal was a highly usable substance in the building of airplanes. So, Tupolev guided AGOS- TsAGI in creating the first Soviet all-metal aircraft. The ANT-3 was Tupolev’s first practical plane.
