The Yakovlev Yak-50 is a single-seat all-metal low-wing aerobatic monoplane with retractable main wheels and an exposed tailwheel. Its control surfaces are fabric-covered to save weight and it has no flaps. A supercharged Vedeneyev M14P, M14PF or M14R engine of 360 to 450 hp drives the propeller through a reduction gearbox, and compressed air operates the undercarriage, brakes and starter. Its high power-to-weight ratio and tough airframe made it twice World Aerobatic Champion, but Soviet team aircraft were scrapped after about 50 flight hours and several suffered main spar failures before the wings were strengthened. About 90 remain airworthy in private hands.
