Yak-40 | A village trijet
The Yak-40 is a three-engine jet passenger aircraft of local airlines, developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau in the 1960s. An aircraft that has incorporated a huge number of advanced and, at the same time, controversial solutions, which made it one of the most unusual Soviet civil aircraft. However, despite the controversy of the concept applied, the Yak-40 became one of the most widespread passenger aircraft in the USSR, while claiming some niches even on the open international market. The Yak-40 became the first Soviet civilian aircraft to be certified in the countries of Western Europe. Thank you for watching! Subscribe to the channel, comment, like!
