Yakovlev Yak-30 (1960)
The Yakovlev Yak -30 (Russian Яковлев Як -30, NATO code name "Magnum" ) is a Soviet jet trainer to train jet pilots from the experimental design bureau ( OKB ) Yakovlev of 1960.
History
This design was created by tender for a standard jet trainer for the air forces of the Warsaw Pact as a rival to the Polish TS -11 Iskra and the Czechoslovak L-29 Delfin. The development began in the late 1950s, the first flight took place with the pilot V. Smirnov on May 20, 1960.
With the pattern some world records could be flown in test flights in Monino in September 1961 with the two parallel developments cut the Yak- 30 very well. However, since the maintenance of the machine was too expensive and complicated, the decision was ultimately made in favor of the L-29, which was then built in the coming years in large numbers.
A single-seat development appeared in 1961 under the designation Yak -32.
The term Yakovlev Yak - 30 also carries a front fighter of 1948, see Yakovlev Yak -30 ( 1948).
