Yakovlev Yak-46

Airliners and Commercial Jet Aircraft

The Yakovlev Yak-46 was a proposed airliner based on the Yak-42, with two contra-rotating pusher propellers on propfans at the rear and Samara turbofans in the 11,000 kg thrust range. At the 1987 Paris Air Show the Soviet Union displayed scale models of a 150-seat aircraft with two rear propfans, and Yakovlev later revealed the design as the Yak-46, planned to enter service in 1997. It was to share fly-by-wire controls, electronic instruments and a supercritical wing with the Yak-42M, a stretched Yak-42 planned for 1994. It was proposed in the 1990s, but production never started.
