	Russian Aviation Page: Features: Yak-9 at Champlin Fighter Museum
		I identified myself to the staff of the museum as a MiG and Yak owner, and I was rewarded with a behind the ropes, open the cockpit and climb-in tour of the collection.
		Interestingly, the aircraft's wing spar is intact and Yak is in flyable conditions.
		When aircraft was brought to Mesa and reassembled, Sergei Kotov suggested to test fly the Yak (most of the planes in Champlin's collection are flyable), but Doug Champlin declined this offer due to the great risk involved in flying of one of the kind airplane.

	Yak Piston Fighters
		Yakovlev put his design bureau to work around the clock on the new fighter, which was designated "I-26" (where "I" stood for "Istrebitel / Destroyer", meaning "fighter").
		Yakovlev himself wasn't enthusiastic about the idea of converting the Yak-7 into a fighter, but he ran it upstairs to his political bosses.
		There are major disagreements between sources on the Yak fighter, and though it is relatively straightforward to identify a Yak-1, Yak-3, Yak-7, or Yak-9, assignment of a particular subvariant type and specification should be taken with a bit of skepticism.

	YAK-11
		I met Yak UK’s Mark Jefferies at his Little Gransden base on a rather blustery day in early October, and was immediately taken with the brooding, almost brutish, look of the big Russian fighter trainer.
		I swung the Yak skyward in a graceful, sweeping curve and was almost immediately impressed both by the harmony of control and also the surprisingly light control forces.
		The Yakovlev Yak-11, NATO codename ‘Moose’, was developed from the Yak-3 fighter as a two-seat intermediate and advanced trainer.

	The Yakovlev Yak-25 & Yak-28
		Although the Yakovlev OKB would eventually focus on airliners and transports, the organization did make a major contribution to Red air power, in the form of a series of supersonic twinjet combat aircraft, the "Yak-25" through "Yak-28", that were built in good numbers and served in a wide range of roles.
		In the meantime, the Yak OKB was also working on an externally similar reconnaissance variant, the "Yak-122", with a single prototype flown in 1955; and a supersonic interceptor variant, originally designated "Yak-121" but then given the designation of "Yak-27".
		Although OKB General Designer Alexander S. Yakovlev had not been very confident in the Yak-129, having been soured by the difficulties with the Yak-26 and Yak-27 development programs, performance was impressive and he became much more enthusiastic.

	The Soviet Navy ‘Forger’: Yak-36M, Yak-38, Yak-38U and Yak-38M
		Aleksandr S. Yakovlev had originally proposed a small batch of additional Yak-36s, intending that these would be used for continued development of the VTOL concept, which would have included pilot training and extended shipboard trials.
		Under Yakovlev’s order, the Vertikalnyi Modifitsirovannyi (VM) programme had actually commenced in January 1968, a year before the official forces’ requirement was formulated, and construction of the first VM prototype began in January 1969.
		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.

		One prototype was lost in a crash (attributed to pilot error) on the carrier in November 1991, after which development was suspended (due to lack of funds rather than any problems with the aircraft); the surviving aircraft has been mothballed.
		The 100-tonne plane (of which 90 tonnes was fuel) would not reach orbit, but would attain a maximum altitude of 185 kilometres in a series of boosts and glides which would carry it all the way around the world.
		The Yakovlev "Freestyle" V/STOL fighter is Yak-41, not Yak-141 (the latter was a single prototype modified for record attempts).

	Yak-9P (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Developed as part of the Yak series of V-12 powered fighters, the Yak-9 was a direct descendant of the Yak-1.
		Yakovlev fighters reached their pinnacle with the Yak-9U of 1944.
		While the Yak was a decent piston engine fighter, it was shot down easily by the American pilots.

	Yakovlev Yak-9U - The Air Combat Wiki
		Rather than being a further development of the Yak-3, the Yak 9U was the culmination of improvements made to the two-seat trainer version of the original Yak-1.
		Of course this meant that it shared many of the same flaws and they were too numerous to allow novice pilots to fly the plane.
		Armament consisted of the standard engine-mounted ShVAK cannon and a single 7.62mm ShKAS machine gun in the cowl and the plane had basically the same performance as the Yak-1s of the period.

	USSR - Early Jet Age (NE Aircraft Museum)
		Yak Yakovlev Yak-15, flown by Mikhail I. Ivanov.
		Developed by Yevgeny Adler of the Yakovlev design collective, the Yak-15 was effectively a Jumo 004B engine married to the airframe of a piston engine Yak-3U fighter, although a comparison will show that the front fuselage was obviously re-designed to accomodate the new engine.
		In general, the early Yaks were pleasant to fly and were ideal interim fighters for the first generation of Soviet pilots to make the transition from piston- to jet-powered flight.

		Armament was initially the same as the Yak-1, but was later improved by adding a second 12.7mm machine gun to the cowl.
		The Yak still exhibited some handling quirks at low speeds, but overall the Yak-3 was an easy plane to fly with outstanding performance that outpaced the Bf-109G-2 at all altitudes up to 18,000 feet and the FW-190A-4 at all altitudes up to 27,000 feet.

		yakovlev based his desing on three starting points, The Klimov M-106 Vee engine rated at 1,350 hp (1.007 kW), concentration of light armament in the forward fuselage, and a simple structure to ensure easy maintenance in the field.
		Yakovlev received permission to design a frontal fighter, a fighter that would be able to gain and maintain air superiority over the front and battle field, and could withstand the rigours of primitive forward airstrips and field maintenance.
		Since Yakovlev already had great experience designing trainers, it was expected that this would minimise risks, maximise quality, and increase production ease because of the similarity to the I-26.

		The Yakovlev Yak-44 AEW aircraft, very similar to the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, has been selected for production, but is probably not yet in service.
		Assuming the _Kuznetsov_ remains in service, a strike aircraft is likely to be added to its air wing; this will almost certainly be another Su-27 derivative, since the Russian air forces currently have a policy of minimising the number of different types in service by using Su-27 derivatives wherever possible.

	Yakovlev Yak-3 - Single-seat fighter
		As early as 1941 Yakovlev was considering means whereby he could wring the highest possible performance out of the basic Yak-1 design.
		As there was no immediate prospect of more power, and armament and equipment were already minimal, the only solution seemed to be to cut down the airframe, reduce weight and reduce drag.
		The production Yak-3 was further refined by a thick coat of hard-wearing wax polish, and after meeting the new fighter during the mighty Kursk battle in the summer of 1943 the Luftwaffe recognised it had met its match.

		In August, however, Aleksandr Yakovlev convinced Stalin that he could produce a better twin-engine interceptor, and the initial order for 50 La-17s was canceled.
		Although Lavochkin OKB was working on its V-300 and G-300 guided missiles by that time, some employees in the design bureau convinced Lavochkin to continue modernizing the La-200, with a new wing to increase range and new Sokol radar.

	Building the Yak-17 in 1/72
		The Yakovlev design bureau thought that the best way to transition pilots from the old piston engined fighters to the new jet engined ones would be to build a jet fighter by replacing the piston engine with a jet engine.
		Yakovlev made a couple of modifications to the Yak-15 so that it could take a newer, more powerful jet engine, and while in the modification stage, he also changed the configuration to a tricycle landing gear arrangement, giving this new design the designation Yak-17.
		Compared to many contemporary piston-engined fighters of the time, this was a very short range, and given that most of the wooden construction of the original Yak-3U had been replaced with metal in the Yak-17, the acceleration and climbing performance of this jet fighter was not very good, either.
