The low-mounted, straight wing had a single- spar and a slight dihedral of 4в‚0'. The aircraft carried a total of 1,350 kilograms (2,980В lb) of fuel in two bladder tanks, one each ahead and behind the pilot. He was provided with an ejection seat, copied from that used in the Heinkel He 162. The pilot was protected by armor plates to his front, an armored seat back and a bulletproof windscreen for the bubble canopy.

The Su-9 had an oval cross-section, all-metal stressed skin monocoque fuselage that housed a single cockpit. The ultimate design was very probably influenced by a captured Messerschmitt Me 262, but the Su-9 was not a copy of the German aircraft. In 1944, the Sukhoi design bureau ( OKB) began designing a twin-engined fighter powered by two Lyulka TR-1 turbojets, known internally as the Samolyet or Izdeliye (item or product) K. The Su-9 was likely influenced by the Messerschmitt Me 262 The Su-13 ( Samolyot KT) was a proposal to re-engine the aircraft with Soviet copies of the Rolls-Royce Derwent turbojet as well as to modify it for night fighting, but neither proposal was accepted. A modified version with different engines and a revised wing became the Su-11 ( Samolyot KL), but this did not enter production either. The Su-9 was slower than competing Soviet aircraft and it was cancelled as a result. The design was heavily influenced by captured German jet fighters and it was subsequently redesigned to use a Soviet copy of a German turbojet. The design began in 1944 and was intended to use Soviet-designed turbojet engines.

The Sukhoi Su-9 or РЎР°РјРѕР»С‘С‚ K ( Russian: Aircraft K USAF/DoD designation: Type 8) was an early jet fighter built in the Soviet Union shortly after World War II. For the later supersonic interceptor, see Sukhoi Su-11 Su-9
