The Yakovlev Yak -50 (Russian Яковлев Як -50 ) was an all-weather interceptor fighter aircraft. It was a logical continuation of a series of experimental jet aircraft from the Yakovlev OKB and was the competition pattern on Lavochkin La -200, I- 320 Mikoyan and Sukhoi Su- 15th

Unlike its immediate predecessor Yak- 30 had extended the hull by more than two meters and installed in place of the nose wheel landing gear for the first time in the history of the design offices a tandem trailer. Standard application found this chassis arrangement later in the Jak - 25th The aircraft was also equipped with a Funkmeßvisier, which got its place in the bow above the air intake passage of the engine.

In January 1950, he exhibited at 1170 km / h new speed record. In total outstanding flight performance but the Yak- 50 pointed to some shortcomings, such as lack of stability in the transonic speed range and a complex behavior during takeoff and landing, which was mainly due to the currently selected mass saving chassis variant for which the pattern is obviously too small and too easily had.
