Yokosuka K5Y1 (Willow) |
The most important of the Yokosuka-designed trainers, was the Yokosuka K5Y1, first flown during December 1933. Adopted in January 1934 as the Navy Type 93 Intermediate Trainer, it was built to a total of 5,770 by the end of the Pacific war, being allocated the Allied codename 'Willow'. Built in three versions, with float and wheel landing gear, the 11.00m span K5Y1 with a 254kW Hitachi Amakaze radial engine had a maximum speed of 212km/h. |

The Yakovlev Yak-18 (Russian: Як-18, also transcribed as Jak-18, NATO reporting name Max) was a Soviet tandem two-seat military primary trainer aircraft. Originally powered by one 119 kW (160 hp) Shvetsov M-11FR-1 radial piston engine, it entered service in 1946. It is also produced in China as the Nanchang CJ-5. |

The P1Y was designed by the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal to Navy specifications calling for speed matching the Zero, range matching the G4M, a 907 kg (2,000 lb) bombload, and the ability to dive-bomb as well as carry torpedoes. As a result, the construction suffered from excess complexity, difficulty of manufacture, and poor serviceability. Problems with the Nakajima Homare engine led to its replacement by the Mitsubishi Kasei. |

YAKLOVLEV-18PS |
The Yak18PS development with the tail wheel, it was a triumph at the 1970 World Championship in UK. Produced in small series of six at the Arseniev plant, there is only one aircraft remaining to date. In contrast with the forthcoming. Yak-50, the "PS" history was not connected with any structural design flaws, thanks in particular to a lighter fabric-covered wing. |

Yakovlev Yak-19 |
The Yakovlev Yak-19
was a prototype Soviet fighter aircraft built in 1947. It was the first
Yakovlev jet fighter, and the first
OKB aircraft designed from the onset to
have an all-metal stressed skin, and a hydraulic system. The Yak-19 was the
second Soviet aircraft to use an afterburning turbojet, the
Klimov RD-10F, and the last Yakovlev
Aircraft to use a version of the German
Jumo 004-derived RD-10 jet engine. Only two
examples were built. |

turbojet-powered interceptor aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft used
by the Soviet Union. |

Yakovlev Yak-51 |
The Yakovlev Yak-52 (Як-52) is a Soviet primary trainer aircraft which first flew in 1976. It is still being produced in Romania by Aerostat, which gained manufacturing rights under agreement within the now defunct COMECON socialist trade organisation. The Yak-52 was designed originally as an aerobatic trainer for students in the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation, which trained both civilian sport pilots and military pilots. |

The Yakovlev Yak-40 (NATO reporting name: Codling) is a small, three-engined airliner that is often called the first regional jet transport aircraft. It was introduced in September 1968 with Aeroflot. |

Yakovlev Yak-38 (Forger) |
The first drawings showed a supersonic
aircraft strongly influenced by Hawker P.1154 in study in the United
Kingdom but with two R27-300 engines. Supersonic performances would have
implied many difficulties of development, and it was decided to
initially develop a relatively simple aircraft limited to Mach 0.95.
Although the Yak-38 and Yak-38M were developed from the land-based
Yakovlev Yak-36, the aircraft had almost nothing |

RUSSIA (TRAINER) |
Yakovlev Yak-52-1 | The Yak-52, like most Soviet military aircraft, was designed to operate in rugged environments with minimal maintenance. One of its key features, and a radical departure from most western aircraft, is its extensive pneumatic system. Engine starting, landing gear, flaps, braking and steering are all pneumatically actuated. Spherical storage bottles for air, replenished by an engine driven compressor, are situated behind the rear cockpit and contents displayed on the instrument panels. The operating pressure is between 10 and 50 bars (145 and 725 psi) and an emergency circuit is reserved for lowering the undercarriage if the normal supply is exhausted or the compressor fails. Additionally both main and reserve bottles can be charged from a port on the ground with compressed air, usually from a Scuba type air bottle. The steering/braking arrangement, especially, takes some adjustment for flyers accustomed to hydraulics, because the plane uses differential braking controlled by rudder pedals and a hand operated lever on the control stick. The tricycle landing gear is retractable, but it remains partially-exposed in the retracted position, affording both a useful level of drag in down manoeuvres and a measure of protection should the plane be forced to land "wheels up." | 14 | ||

Yakovlev Yak-25 (Flashlight) |
The Yak-25 originated from a need for long-range interceptors to protect the USSR's northern and eastern territory. The specification for a two-seat, twin-engine jet fighter and a related reconnaissance aircraft was issued by Stalin on 6 August 1951. The aircraft was to use the new Mikulin AM-5 turbojet. The first prototype, the Yak-120, flew on 19 June 1952. |

A two seat low-wing monoplane built for record speed. Both cockpits covered by long and low transparent canopy. Engine covered by Townend ring. Aircraft had mixed design: steel tubes and fabric for fuselage, mostly wood and fabric in thin (8%) wing, duralumin and fabric for ailerons and tail surfaces. Fixed landing gear was enclosed into 'pants' fairings. Despite speed was a primary goal, wing was supported by struts and anti-lift steel tapes. Design started in February 1932, assembly - in April same year. |

The UT-1 was used as a transitional type between the UT-2 and fighters like the I-16. It was not easy to fly, requiring precise piloting, thus forming an ideal intermediate between basic trainers and the maneuverable but tricky to fly I-16. In 1939 the plane was modified by moving the engine 26 cm (10 in) forward, which improved its handling. During production, the 112 kW (150 hp) M-11E engine was also used. Soviet pilots broke several records on the UT-1 before the war, some on its floatplane variant. In total, 1,241 aircraft were built between December 1936 and 1940 |

Yakovlev Yak-3 |
The origins of the Yak-3 went back to
1941 when the I-30 prototype was offered along with the I-26 as an
alternative design to the Yak-1. The I-30, powered by a Klimov M-105P
engine, was of all-metal construction, using a wing with dihedral on the
outer panels. Like the early Yak-1, it had a 20 mm ShVAK cannon firing
through the propeller spinner and twin 7.62 mm ShKAS machine guns in the
nose, but was also fitted with a ShVAK cannon in each wing. The first of
two prototypes was fitted with a slatted wing to improve handling and
short-field performance while the second prototype had a wooden wing
without slats, in order to simplify production. The second prototype
crashed during flight tests and was written off. Although there were
plans to put the Yak-3 into production, the scarcity of aviation
aluminum and the pressure of the Nazi invasion led to work on the first
Yak-3 being abandoned in late fall 1941. |

Yakovlev Yak-4 |
The Yak-4 was an improved version of the Yak-2 with more powerful Klimov M-105 engines and a number of other changes that were made to try and rectify the problems of the Yak-2. Two additional fuel tanks were added in the outer wings to bring the total capacity up to 180 litres (40 imp gal; 48 US gal) and the gunner's canopy was bulged to give him more room to use his 7.62 mm (0.300 in) ShKAS machine gun. The upper fuselage was redesigned to improve the gunner's field of fire and the oil coolers were relocated from the sides of the engine nacelles to the 'chin' position to improve their performance. |
