	Yakovlev Yak-3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian language: Як-3) was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft regarded as one of the best fighters of the war.
		The two biggest drawbacks of the aircraft were its short range and the tendency of the glued-on plywood covering the top of the wings to tear away under high-G loads.
		The aircraft became the prototype for the Yak-11.

	Yakovlev Yak-41 'Freestyle'
		Yakovlev's first experiment with jet-lift was the primitive Yak-36 (NATO: Freehand), which made its first vertical take-off on 24 March 1966.
		Vertical take-off on this aircraft was achieved by locating a swivelling jet exhaust nozzle for each of it's two engines directly under the aircraft's centre of gravity.
		In September 1992 aircraft '75' white was repainted as '141' white and displayed at the Farnborough Air Show, in an attempt to attract foreign funding, but this ploy was unsuccessful and development ceased in 1993.

	Soviet military aircraft Yakovlev BB-22 (Yak-2)
		The Yakovlev OKB had worked exclusively on light aircraft until 1938, and the idea of producing a fast twin-engined multirole monoplane was proposed by Leon Shekter.
		In the cocluding remarks of the test programme report it was stated that the aircraft was not combat capable and reliable, and that even flights with a 400 kg bomb load could be dangerous to the crew.
		Test flights of the aircraft in overload condition showed that take-off with short term supercharging, carrying a 400 kg internal bomb load and two externally mounted 100 kg bombs, was improved, as were combat capabilities.

	Yakovlev
		Designed to be as simple to manufacture as possible, while still retaining the robust strength that had always characterized Russian aircraft, the Yak was surprisingly nimble and fast for its generation of design.
		Another Yakovlev design was intended as a two seat aircraft (originally designated as the I-27).
		The Yak fighters were gradually improved with the structure being redesigned with increased use of metal in the fuselage and wing structure.

		An accident with one of his aircraft resulted in his dismissal, but Yakovlev lobbied Communist Party officials to let him start his own organization, and in 1934 he was granted use of an old abandoned bed factory to establish his own design bureau ("OKB" in the Russian acronym).
		This aircraft attained speeds greater than 800 KPH (500 MPH), but the aircraft was lost with the pilot on its third flight, on August 1945.
		Retooling production for an aircraft that was designed to be easy to build was probably straightforward as such things go, and the work was assisted by engineers and production workers who had worked on the machine in the 1940s, lured out of retirement by a chance to make some money and relive old times.

	The Soviet Navy ‘Forger’: Yak-36M, Yak-38, Yak-38U and Yak-38M
		Designed in conjunction with Yakovlev, the SK-EM (Sistema Katapultirovaniya Ekstremalnaya, extreme ejection initiation system), which had earlier been evaluated in the Yak-36, was engaged when the aircraft left the deck and was engineered to automatically eject the pilot on his ‘zero-zero’ seat on the failure of any one of the three engines.
		The aircraft was extensively photographed during this shakedown cruise (during which Kiev sailed from the Black Sea, through the Mediterranean, heading north via the Iceland-Faeroes gap, to join the Northern Fleet at Murmansk) and the aircraft was allocated the reporting name ‘Forger-A’ by the ASCC.
		The aircraft were relegated to the reserve from July 1991, with the last aircraft reportedly being struck-off charge in early 1993, although regular AV-MF ‘Forger’ operations had ceased prior to this date.

		Five years ago Yakovlev regularly received 94 percent of its revenues from the construction of two military planes - the Yak-141, which can take off and land vertically, and the Yak-44, a radar patrol aircraft.
		Yakovlev is also known for its small- and medium-sized civilian planes for unchartered flights.
