The 1948 Yakovlev Yak-30 was an experimental Soviet interceptor derived from the straight-winged Yak-25. It kept that aircraft's fuselage, tail surfaces and undercarriage but had wings swept back 35 degrees at quarter chord, to meet a requirement for a fighter capable of Mach 0.9 that could operate from unpaved airstrips. The fuselage had a circular cross-section, the three NR-23 cannon were kept and the wingtip tanks were redesigned to sit flush under the wing. A 1,590 kgf RD-500 turbojet powered it, and the first of two prototypes was test-flown by Anokhin on 4 September 1948.
