	Yak-141, Yakovlev 'Freestyle'
		Yakovlev have recently announced their intention to restart development of the Yak-41, apparently as a result of renewed interest from the Russian Ministry of Defence (a similar revival of the twin-turboprop Yak-44 AEW aircraft is also being considered).
		Yakovlev Yak-41/141 Freestyle Design of the Yak-41 began in 1975; the first prototype flew on 9 March 1987, followed by a second in April 1989.
		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 was mothballed.

	Aeroflot Shops for Domestic Airlines
		Kuban, which operates a fleet of 11 Yakovlev Yak-42 regional jets, flew 430,000 passengers last year, according to the Krasnodar administration.
		"Kuban is a very stable company," she said, adding that last year the company reported a net profit of $1 million on revenues of $44.5 million.
		State-controlled airlines Kuban and Samara will be privatized this year and Aeroflot is looking to buy them both, Okulov said on the sidelines of a conference on harmonizing European and Russian transportation strategies.

	Antonov
		This interesting design (the radar disc was mounted atop a forward-swept, V-shaped set of tail fins) was cancelled in favour of Yakovlev's Yak-44, a twin turboprop apparently very similar to the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye.
		It has the high wing and tail loading ramp that are typical for tactical freight aircraft; a novelty is the use of contra-rotating propfans.
		It is suitable for carrying passengers, cargo and mail, for scientific expeditions, geological survey, forest fire patrol, air ambulance or rescue operations, and parachute training.
