MAKS Airshow ✈️ YAK-130, Small Yet Powerful!!

Cool short flight demo by a Yakovlev YAK-130 (Яковлев, Як-130) russian trainer jet piloted by Oleg Mutovin at MAKS Airshow in Zhukovskiy, Moscow. The Yakovlev Yak-130 (NATO reporting name: Mitten) is a subsonic bi-seater advanced jet trainer originally developed by the russian company Yakovlev and italian firm Aermacchi. It has also been marketed as a potential light attack aircraft. Development of the plane began in 1991 and the maiden flight was conducted on 25 April 1996. In 2002, it won a Russian government tender for training aircraft and in 2009 the aircraft entered service with the Russian Air Force. As an advanced training aircraft, the Yak-130 is able to replicate the characteristics of several 4 generation fighters as well as the fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57, making the airplane an actual FLYING simulator, which is kind of amazing, if you ask me. It can also perform light-attack and reconnaissance duties, carrying a combat load of up to 3,000 kg, including various guided and un-guided weapons, auxiliary fuel tanks and electronic pods. Yak-130 has nine hard points: two wingtip, six under-wing and one under-fuselage. Just as mentioned, the Yak-130 is able to replicate characteristics of Russian 4th and 5th generation fighters. This is possible through the use of open architecture digital avionics compliant with a 1553 Databus, a full digital glass cockpit, four-channel digital Fly-By-Wire System (FBWS) and Instructor controlled and variable FBWS handling characteristics and embedded simulation. The type also has a Head-up display (HUD) and a Helmet-Mounted-Sighting-System (HMSS), with a double GPS/GLONASS receiver updating an Inertial Reference System (IRS) for highly accurate navigation and precision targeting. The developer estimates that the plane can cover up to 80% of the entire pilot flight training program. The aircraft’s twin engines are mounted under extended wing roots, which reach as far forward as the windscreen. Two Ivchenko Progress AI-222-25 with Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) produce a combined total of 49 kilonewtons of thrust. An upgraded, “-28“ engine is also on offer, increasing the thrust up to 53 kN. At a normal Take-Off Weight of 7,250 kg, a Thrust-to-Weight ratio of is achieved with the “-25“, or with the “-28“ engines. This compares with for the BAE Systems Hawk 128 and for the Aero Vodochody L-159B. Maximum internal fuel capacity is 1,700 kg. With two external combat fuel tanks the figure increases to 2,600 kg. Maximum true airspeed is Mach , service ceiling is 12,500 metres and load factors are from −3 to 9G. Typical Take-Off speed and distance in a “clean“ configuration are 209 km/h and 550 m, whilst landing figures are 191 km/h and 750 m respectively. Cross wind limit is 56 km/h. The Yakovlev Yak-130 is also equipped with the FBWS controlled engine intake blanking doors, in order to prevent the aircraft’s engines from sustaining FOD when operating from unpaved runways and grass strips.
