	Yakovlev Yak-23 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Yakovlev Yak-23 (in Russian Як-23, NATO designation Flora) was a jet fighter developed in the USSR in the 1940s, used in early 1950s.
		The Yak-23 was developed as a simple lightweight jet fighter, on Yakovlev's own initiative.
		It was a development of earlier Yak-15 and Yak-17 fighters, retaining their non-conventional layout with a jet engine in the fuselage nose and exhaust under the cockpit, but the construction was all new.

	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.

	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 yak (Bos grunniens) is a long-haired humped domestic bovine found in Tibet and throughout the Himalayan region of south central Asia.
		Domesticated yak are kept primarily for their milk (to make butter for lamps in Buddist monastries), meat and they are used as beasts of burden; transporting goods across mountain passes for local farmers and traders as well as in support of climbing and trekking expeditions.
		Yaks are used to plow fields in much of Asia.

		In 1945 Alexander Yakovlev, chief designer of the Yak-series planes, became an officer of the French Legion of Honor and received French Officer's Cross in addition to its Soviet awards.
		Yakovlev is considering equipping the export versions of the Yak-130 with the AL-55 engines instead oft he Al-222-25s.
		One of the major results of the Yakovlev's work in 2003 was the victory of the MS-21 aircraft project in a bid for short- and medium-haul aircraft for domestic and foreign airlines.

	KP/Kopro 1/72 Yak-23 "Flora"
		Just as the interwar years saw the development and eventual practical application of such groundbreaking concepts as the monoplane, all metal construction and the supercharged piston engine; the late 40s and early 50s were about refined aerodynamics such as the swept wing, and of course, development and practical application of the jet engine.
		The Yakovlev 23 (“Flora” by NATO reporting code) is one of those aircraft that unless you are a fan of early post war aircraft or Russian build aircraft, you may know little to nothing about.
		From the Yak-15 to 23 there were subtle refinements to fuselage and wing design, none of it was particularly radical, the wings and tail surfaces remained unswept and despite having a jet engine, in design it had more in common with WWII aircraft and quickly became obsolete.

	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.
		While development work on the Yak-38 was still proceeding, Yakovlev was authorised in 1975 to begin work on a more capable replacement, for use in the fleet air defence role from AV-MF aircraft carriers.
		Yakovlev's knowledge of jet lift technology was to prove invaluable.

		Yakovlev's activity in aircraft building began when he developed the two-seat aerobatic biplane AIR-1.
		The experimental helicopter Yak, being tested in 1947 was the first DB's creation in the area of helicopter-building, which gave rise to the production of two-rotor co-axial helicopters in the USSR.
		Since 1934, when the Yak airplanes were put into series production, they became numerous in production and in operation.

		The disassembled and re-crated Yak was loaded aboard the C-124 and the return journey began.
		In all, the Yak was flown eight times at Wright-Patterson between Nov. 4 and Nov. 25, 1953, when it was spirited back to the Balkans.
		However, the Yak was a fairly new Soviet fighter and was flown by several Warsaw Pact countries.

	Yak Fighters
		The main landing gear pivoted from the wings into the belly of the aircraft, giving the new Yak fighter a comfortable wide track on the ground, useful for operating on rough airfields.
		Flight trials went well and a small batch of M-106-powered Yak 1s was built immediately, though problems with the M-106 led some of them to be re-engined with M-105PF engines.
		In the early 1990s, the Yakovlev organization actually put the Yak-3 back into production as the "Yak-3U", building a small batch that was sold to private "warbird" collectors by a company in California.

		After working with Aermacchi for most of the 90s, Yakovlev is now on its own again, as the Italian company concentrates on its M-346 design, which retains the aerodynamic formula of the Yak-130, but is an all-new, fully westernised aircraft.
		An agreement between Aermacchi and Yakovlev to cooperate in the development of the trainer was signed in 1993.
		In June 2001, Yakovlev general director Oleg Demchenko announced that two production standard aircraft plus two static test airframes should be built at the Sokol plant in Nizhny Novgorod, flying in the fourth quarter of 2003.

	Warbird Alley: Yakovlev Yak-11
		No doubt that was either in 1942 or early 1943, because 1943 was the year that the Soviet Air Force answered the challenge with a vengeance, fielding aircraft from several designers that could go head-to-head with the best that the Luftwaffe had available.
		Among these, was the Yakovlev Yak-3, an aircraft that would become the most-produced Soviet fighter of the war.
		A light, responsive, single-seat interceptor, bomber escort and close-support aircraft that was especially deadly to Luftwaffe aircraft at altitudes below 11,000 feet, the Yak-3's success in combat led to the conversion of a Yak-3U to two-seat trainer prototype, the Yak-3UTI in 1945.
