The Yakovlev Yak-16, NATO reporting name Cork, was a Soviet light transport that first flew in 1947. The Civil Air Fleet asked in 1946 for a ten-passenger aircraft for low-volume routes too small for the Lisunov Li-2, and the Yakovlev bureau built a low-wing twin-engined monoplane with a metal-skinned fuselage and two 700 horsepower Shvetsov ASh-21 radial engines. Prototypes were built as a passenger version and a military cargo version, but neither was put into production because the Antonov An-2 was judged more versatile.
