Was this ever a real Yak-130 project ???

Or is that only some fan art ?

 

[hesham]

Dear Overscan,

please don't forget the Yak-131,Yak-133 and Yak-135 single
and two seat trainers and light attack version.

My dear Deino,the answer is in this quote of reply # 7,yes there is a single seat
version.

 

[Avimimus]

Ah, but perhaps he meant single-engined version?

 

[Deino]

Yes ... especially since it seems to have an afterburner (RD-33/-93) or so !?

 

[hesham]

Who heard about this;


Yak-135 is a four-seat VIP transport version of Yak-130,project only ?.

The S-55 "Proboscis"

From L+K 25/1993.

Here's a fascinating early MiG-AT design, which has great resemblance in planform to the "33" light fighter design.

From L+K 1996/8,

it was called MiG 821-33.

Hi Flateric!
Thank you for sharing S-55' model images. I'm fascinated with first and second - with multiple shadows on the floor, that adds some neat impression.
Is this a factory model?

 

[flateric]

yes

All four UTS contenders as depicted in a 1997 issue of AviaMaster:

• Preliminary project of Yakovlev Design Bureau (Yak-130)
  
• Preliminary project of Mikoyan Design Bureau (MiG-AT)
  
• Preliminary project of Myasishchev Design Bureau (UTK-200)
  
• Preliminary project of Sukhoi Design Bureau (S-54)

Amazing how similar the Myasishchev and Yak designs are.

And IMO it's a shame that the Sukhoi wasn't chosen.

Yak UTS cutaway, 1992.

Plus three-page Flight article, 20 May 1992:

A four-seat variant with side-by-side seats for a pilot and an instructor with a reserve crew behind them could be used for the low-cost training of pilots for long-range strategic aviation. The standardisation level for this variant would be about 60%.

Yakovlev sees good export potential. "India, Thailand and Australia are considering their next trainers. European nations as well might be interested in our proposals," says Dolzhenkov.
