Yakovlev AIR-6

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Yakovlev AIR-6 was a single-engined high-wing light utility monoplane of the 1930s, designed by Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev as a scaled-down successor to the AIR-5. It used a readily available 100 hp Shvetsov M-11 radial engine and carried a pilot with one or two passengers in an enclosed cockpit. The prototype flew in 1932, and production began in 1934 after Yakovlev was allowed to set up his own design bureau. A total of 128 were built, some on floats and 20 as ambulance aircraft, and they served with the Soviet and Mongolian air forces.
