The Mikoyan-Gurewitsch MiG-AT ( Russian Микоян-Гуревич МиГ-АТ ) was the prototype of a Russian training aircraft .
history
At the end of the 1980s, tenders began for a modern advanced trainer for the Soviet air force , which was supposed to replace the existing L-29 and L-39 trainers. In the first selection round, the Jak-130 and the Mikojan-Gurevich MiG-AT were confirmed, and prototypes were approved for both types. As early as 1992, this aircraft was developed in close cooperation with French companies in order to avoid possible engine problems and at the same time to open up possible export markets. A Turboméca SNECMA engine - built under license - and a sextant avionics system are used in the MiG-AT. The composite wings are made in South Korea . The aim was to get a trainer who could do the same maneuvers as the MiG-29 and Su-27 . For this reason, the load limits were designed for +8 g and −3 g , respectively . Two prototypes have been built: one with French avionics (ATF) and one with Russian electronics (ATR). The basic version for export should also receive French engines. The official first flight was on March 21, 1996. In 2002 the Jak-130 won against the MiG-AT due to a more modern design.
Construction work for a single-seat ground combat version of the MiG-ATB was also started in 1996. Although there were no orders, the manufacturer wanted to offer the fully developed MiG-AT to foreign customers.
In 2008 the Saturn AL-55 was tested as a possible engine in the MiG-AT.
