The Yakovlev AIR-1, first called the VVA-3, was a two-seat light biplane of wood and fabric construction from the 1920s, and it was the first aircraft that Aleksandr Sergeyevich Yakovlev designed and built. He built it in the Academy Club of the Zhukovsky Military Aviation Academy in his own time, powered by a 60 hp ADC Cirrus piston engine, and later renamed it in honour of the Soviet premier Alexei Rykov. It first flew on 12 May 1927 and was later flown non-stop from Sevastopol to Moscow. An improved version, the AIR-2, followed in 1928 and six were built.
