=== Cold War === [[File:Sukhoi Alley (8911167919).jpg|thumb|A line of Sukhoi combat aircraft at [[Central Air Force Museum Monino]]]] After the war, Sukhoi and his team were among the first Soviet aircraft designers who led the work on [[jet aircraft]], creating several experimental [[Fighter aircraft|jet fighters]]. Sukhoi started developing two mixed-power fighters, the [[Sukhoi Su-5]] and a modification of the [[Sukhoi Su-6]] named Su-7 before 1945. At the start of 1945, the design bureau started working on jet fighters such as the [[Sukhoi Su-9 (1946)|Sukhoi Su-9]], [[Sukhoi Su-11 (1948)|Sukhoi Su-11]], [[Sukhoi Su-15 (1949)|Sukhoi Su-15]], and the [[Sukhoi Su-17 (1949)|Sukhoi Su-17]], the [[Sukhoi Su-10]] jet-propulsed [[bomber]], and the [[Reconnaissance aircraft|reconnaissance]] and artillery spotter [[twinjet]], the [[Sukhoi Su-12]]. Sukhoi and his team also used the [[Tupolev Tu-2]] bomber to develop and produce the trainer bomber UTB-2, worked on passenger and troop-carrying aircraft, the [[jet fighter]] Sukhoi Su-14, and several other aircraft. From 1945 to 1950, Sukhoi and his team also developed the Soviet Union's first booster aircraft control system, [[drogue parachute]], catapult [[ejection seat]] with telescopic trolley, and a jettisonable nose with a [[cabin pressurization|pressurized cockpit]]. From 1949, Sukhoi fell out of Stalin's favor and in a government resolution, the Sukhoi Design Bureau was scrapped, and Sukhoi was forced to return to work under [[Andrei Tupolev]], this time as Deputy Chief Designer. In 1953, the year of [[Stalin's death]], he was permitted to reestablish his own Sukhoi Design Bureau, which was set up with new production facilities.<ref name=":0" />
