was not satisfied with the engine due to its rated power of 1,300 horsepower, which was 200 horsepower less than the specified requirement. The AM-35 also used a single-speed supercharger instead of the two-speed supercharger specified. In order to obtain higher performance a new version the AM-35A

The AM-35 was a high-altitude engine for fighters and bombers that evolved from the earlier AM-34FRN. Compared to the AM-34FRN it had an improved cylinder block, strengthened crankcase, higher compression ratio and a single-speed geared centrifugal supercharger with variable incidence blades. The

role than the MiG-3 so production of the MiG-3 was terminated. The AM-35 offered no advantage in the ground-attack role so production was switched to the AM-38 which was optimized for low-altitude performance.
180:. Although formally phased out of production small numbers of replacement AM-35A engines were produced at Kuybyshev during 1942-43 from AM-38 parts. In total 4,659 AM-35 and AM-35A engines were produced. 190:
Although having good high-altitude performance the MiG-3 was demanding to fly and a lack of experienced pilots led to high attrition through combat and accidents.
