Yakovlev Yak-1000

Supersonic and Experimental Aircraft

The Yakovlev Yak-1000 was a Soviet supersonic technology demonstrator meant to test the aerodynamic layout and field performance of the cropped delta wing described in captured German documents, together with the new Lyulka AL-5 turbojet. A June 1950 directive asked for a Mach 1.7 supersonic fighter, but when the AL-5 was delayed the project became a demonstrator powered by the 15.9 kN Klimov RD-500, with an expected speed of 1,100 km/h. The tandem undercarriage proved unsatisfactory and serious stability problems appeared with the delta wing, and it never flew after an accident during taxiing tests.
