The KOR-1 (Be-2) was a two-seat biplane reconnaissance floatplane of mixed construction, initially built primarily of wood and later incorporating a metal framework. It was developed in 1936 by the Beriev Design Bureau. It was essentially the first Soviet-produced floatplane specifically designed for catapult launch from warships. Its maiden flight took place on September 4, 1936. Despite a number of technical shortcomings, 13 aircraft were built, all of which entered service with the Soviet Navy.
