72171 YAK-210

The Yakovlev Yak-210 was a Soviet prototype training and training aircraft from the Cold War period. The machine first flew in 1953, but never entered mass production. The length of the aircraft was approximately 12.9 meters with a wingspan of approximately 17.5 meters. The drive was provided by two Szwiecow Asz-21 engines with a capacity of 700 HP each. The maximum speed was about 400 km / h. After modifications, the machine could also carry a load of training bombs weighing up to 300 kilograms. The Yakovlev Yak-210 was developed for the needs of the Soviet aviation, which at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s sought to obtain a training machine dedicated to training bomber crews. The Yakovlev Design Bureau, responding to this demand, developed two very similar planes marked as: Yak-200 and just Yak-210. Both of them had a very similar design, the second of which was intended primarily for the training of navigators of bomb machines. For this reason, it received much richer radio equipment, as well as a changed front fuselage shape. It was also able to carry a load of training bombs weighing less than the Yak-200. However, the entire Yak-200 and Yak-210 program was canceled in 1956 and neither of these machines entered mass production.
