The Jakowlew Jak-130 ( Russian Яковлев Як-130 , NATO code name "Mitten" ) is a Russian twin-engine training and light fighter aircraft .
History and construction
For the successor to the then aging Czech Aero L-39 trainer (production period 1968–1999) in the Soviet air force , a specification was issued to various Soviet design offices in 1991. The new machine should be able to train the most important flight maneuvers of the operational types Mikojan MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27 , which requires extreme maneuverability. At the same time, the machine should be inexpensive.
At Jakowlew , a rather unusual construction was created in which the wing root was pulled forward to the bow . The air inlets on both sides were also pulled forward very far and were located under the wing root below the front cockpit . At the ends of the trapezoidal wings there should be winglets with a V-position. Two Ivchenko AI-25 engines, which were also installed in the L-39, were provided as propulsion .
This draft was subsequently worked on. The wing root was pulled forward less far, only just up to the front cockpit, and the air intakes did not begin until immediately after the rear cockpit. Like the Mikojan-Gurewitsch MiG-29 , the Jak-130 has a flap system on the air inlets, in which the actual air inlets are closed during the start-up phase and the air is supplied via flaps on the top of the air inlets. The wings are designed as delta-like swept wings with sawtooth leading edge with high lift aids. The elevators, which are designed as pendulum rudders, are also provided with a sawtooth leading edge. Under each wing there are three pylons on which various weapons can be carried. The drive should consist of two RD-36-35s , each with an output of 2200 kgf , which are controlled by a fully digital FADEC (engine management). Iwtschenko Progress AI-222 -25 (manufactured by "Saljut" in Moscow) with 24.5 kN thrust each were then finally installed in the machines . The flight control takes place via a quadruple redundant fly-by-wire (FBW) system with variably programmable longitudinal stability (0-10%). The cockpit pair, set up in tandem, has zero-zero ejection seats of the Zvezda K-93 type and three multifunctional screens each. The front cockpit is also equipped with a heads -up display . By equipping it with an auxiliary gas turbine and an oxygen generator, it can be operated independently of ground equipment.
The designs Yakovlev Jak-130, Mikoyan MiG-AT , Myasishchev M-200 and Sukhoi Su-54 took part in the competition. From July 1992, only the Jak-130 and the MiG-AT were shortlisted. The Jak-130 was selected in May 1994 for its better performance.
In 1993, the Italian company Aermacchi became a partner in the program now known as the Yak / AEM-130. In 1994 the first demonstrator Jak-130D was finished, which had its rollout in May 1995. The Jak-130 was shown for the first time in the west at the Aérosalon 1995 in Le Bourget . On April 25, 1996, the first prototype (registration RA-43130), piloted by Andreij Sinitsin, took off on its maiden flight in Zhukovsky .
However, Russian-Italian cooperation did not last long. Both companies ended their partnership in 2000 due to differences about future developments. Yakovlev continues to operate the Yak-130 program alone. Aermacchi developed the M-346 , which looks confusingly similar to the Jak-130, but is intended for the western market. Aermacchi paid Yakovlev 77 million euros for the aid.
Various delays, including a lack of money, resulted in the general director Oleg Demtschemko announcing in June 2001 that from 2003 he would manufacture two pre-series aircraft and two static test cells at his own expense. On March 16, 2002, the Russian Air Force officially ordered the machine so that the project could be continued. The first pre-series machine was shown in June 2003 at the Paris Air Show and the first flight took place on April 30, 2004. The crash of the third prototype of the Jak-130 in July 2006 (only four months after its first flight) due to a software error in the fly-by -Wire system delayed approval by the Russian Air Force until November 2007. The first series model had its maiden flight on May 19, 2009. Since then, the planes have been delivered to the Russian Air Force. One copy crashed on May 29, 2010.
The first combat-ready variant of the Jak-130 completed its maiden flight on August 21, 2009. It is a two-seat Jak-130 that can carry up to 3000 kg of external loads on a total of nine suspensions. This variant was developed by the Irkut Corporation for the export market. Algeria was the first customer in March 2006 with an order for 16 machines, which should be delivered in early 2010. In fact, the first three weren't delivered until November 2011, after the Arab Spring .
In March 2010, the Russian Air Force took over the first of the 62 planes planned for 2015.
Further development
OKB Jakowlew plans to further develop the basic trainer version Jak-130 into the following derivatives:
- Navy training aircraft
- Jak-131 : light attack aircraft
- Jak-133 : light fighter aircraft
- Jak-133IB : light fighter-bomber
- Jak-133R : reconnaissance aircraft
- Jak-133PP : electronic warfare aircraft
- unmanned attack drone
- Aircraft carrier version of the Jak-130 with reinforced landing gear and catch hook, proposed as a more cost-effective replacement for the Su-25UTG
- Jak-135 as a VIP aircraft with 4 seats, an aircraft carrier-compatible version as a passenger and small cargo aircraft for supply flights on aircraft carriers would be conceivable.
OKB Jakowlew supported the development of the Chinese Hongdu L-15 . This is largely based on the Jak-130, the main difference being Chinese engines with afterburner.
