The Yakovlev Yak-33 was a vertical takeoff and landing supersonic multi-purpose aircraft family studied in the early 1960s, with variants of one basic design meant for different roles, like the Yak-25, Yak-27 and Yak-28 family. Several layouts were studied, including canard and tailless deltas, but combining supersonic speed with VTOL ability badly compromised the primary missions. The estimated data show a two-crew aircraft 27 metres long, with two vectored-thrust RD-36-41 afterburning turbojets plus six or eight lift jets, a gross weight of 32,000 kg and a design speed of Mach 3.
