according to the Press office of pjsc
0:03
yakovlev in July the company is prepared
0:06
to restart the development of vertical
0:08
takeoff and Landing aircraft or Vall
0:11
upon request from the Russian Ministry
0:13
of Defense while approvals may come or
0:15
not let's examine the history of the
0:18
Soviet vertical takeoff fighter aircraft
0:21
developments we will also speculate
0:23
about the technology to be used in the
0:25
new Russian Vall fighter since the
0:27
latter half of the 20th century the most
0:30
noted Aviation Nations have been
0:32
creating aircraft that are capable of
0:34
lifting off and landing on restricted
0:36
areas of air strips or aircraft carrier
0:39
decks while maintaining the speed of a
0:42
plane as airplanes developed they
0:44
required runways that were longer More
0:47
Level and more durable however these
0:50
runways were susceptible to damage from
0:52
enemy strikes the United States
0:54
undertook research on turbo prop and Jet
0:56
Vall aircraft for the Navy following
0:58
World War II the conveyor XF y1 a one-
1:02
seat tailless aircraft with two counter
1:04
rotating propellers was introduced to
1:08
1954 standing on its tail on wheels at
1:11
the wing tips and tail fins it took off
1:13
and landed vertically despite the
1:16
completion of numerous test flights it
1:18
was never put into mass production the
1:20
Ryan x13 veret jet aircraft which was
1:23
developed for the US Air Force was
1:26
equipped with no landing gear instead it
1:29
relied on a hook and a specially
1:31
designed platform for vertical descent
1:33
which was both dangerous and difficult
1:36
the experimental aircraft turbolet was
1:38
developed by Soviet designers in the
1:41
1950s to resolve the challenges
1:43
associated with vertical takeoff and
1:45
Landing test flights were initiated in
1:48
1956 by test pilot Yuri garv a
1:51
vertically mounted jet engine and a mass
1:53
of 2.3 tons provided sufficient fuel for
1:57
a 10-minute flight low aerodynamic
1:59
control efficacy was achieved through
2:01
the use of gas jet controls to
2:03
facilitate takeoff and landing in 1958
2:07
turbolet captivated spectators at an
2:09
aviation exhibition in tusino by
2:12
hovering and rotating in midair the data
2:14
from the turbolet trials was used in
2:17
Soviet Vall aircraft and even in the
2:19
space program to develop re-entry
2:21
vehicles for airless environments the
2:25
p1127 a British aircraft that served as
2:27
a precursor to the Harrier family made
2:30
its inaugural flight in
2:32
1960 in 1964 the Soviet Yak 36 was
2:36
introduced featuring automated control
2:38
an emergency ejection system and two
2:41
engines with pivoting nozzles for
2:42
vertical takeoff this aircraft garnered
2:45
substantial interest at the domovo
2:49
1976 the yak 38 the Soviet Union's first
2:52
serially produced Vall aircraft was
2:55
developed as a result of the experience
2:57
acquired it commenced operations in 19
2:59
77 2 years prior to the British Sea
3:02
Harrier featuring two lift engines and a
3:05
main Engine with pivoting nozzles for
3:07
vertical propulsion the yak 38 was
3:10
equipped with an advanced emergency
3:12
ejection system that automatically
3:14
forced ejection through the canopy
3:17
glass in service this system
3:19
demonstrated exceptional dependability
3:22
the faan's conflict between Argentina
3:24
and the UK in 1982 saw the use of the
3:27
British Harrier and sea Harrier in
3:29
reconnaissance and the use of both
3:31
guided and unguided Munitions despite
3:34
this four out of 14 aircraft were lost
3:37
the yak 38 was also subjected to combat
3:40
trials in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989
3:44
where it was able to carry a maximum
3:46
payload by using shortened takeoffs the
3:49
first Soviet aircraft to land on a naval
3:51
platform was a yak 38 which made its
3:54
debut in 1972 on the aircraft carrier
3:57
mosa the yak 141 the world first
4:00
supersonic VTO was initiated in 1974 20
4:04
years before its us counterpart it
4:06
successfully managed engines of various
4:08
varieties resulting in a unified control
4:11
system for vertical and short takeoff
4:13
modes the yak 141 was unable to achieve
4:17
mass production in the 1990s as a result
4:20
of funding issues despite having set 12
4:24
1987 there has been speculation
4:26
regarding the possibility of design
4:28
plagiarism due to the similarities
4:30
between the yak 141s nozzle and that of
4:33
the American f35b v2l version
4:37
nevertheless pjsc yakovlev refutes these
4:40
allegations asserting that Lockheed
4:42
Martin expressed interest in
4:45
1992 however no contract was signed and
4:48
no technical documentation was exchanged
4:51
the yak 41's fan driven system is
4:53
structurally distinct from that of the
4:56
f35b as it features dual lift engines in
4:59
2017 Yuri borisoff who was then the
5:02
deputy Minister of Defense suggested
5:05
that Russia was contemplating the
5:06
development of a new Vall design for a
5:09
future aircraft carrier this initiative
5:11
would involve the development of a new
5:13
aircraft rather than the modification of
5:15
an existing design in order to continue
5:19
Legacy since 2019 the Siberian Aviation
5:23
Research Institute has been conducting
5:25
research on short takeoff aircraft using
5:28
distributed electric motors to increase
5:31
lift this work has the potential to
5:33
facilitate the development of a civilian
5:36
certified model pjsc yakovlev recalls
5:39
that its pioneering work on VTOL
5:40
aircraft which dates back to the late
5:43
1950s exemplifies a high level of
5:45
achievement occasionally surpassing
5:47
Global standards they are prepared to
5:50
recommence Vall development if the
5:52
ministry of Defense directs them given
5:55
the progress made in aviation technology
5:58
now do you think Russia should make a
5:59
VTO aircraft let us know in the comments
