The Yakovlev AIR-13 was a twin-engined racing aircraft that Yakovlev designed in 1935 in the Soviet Union, intended to take part in air races planned for 1936. Contemporary sketches show that it closely resembled the de Havilland DH.88 Comet, which had won the 1934 MacRobertson Trophy Air Race. The design never progressed beyond the drawing board, so no airframe was built. It is recorded here as one of the many unbuilt projects of the Yakovlev design bureau, which shows how the early Yakovlev team studied foreign racing designs.
