Yakovlev Yak-40
Jak-40
A small jet with straight wings, three engines at the rear and stairs that fold out under the tail: the Yak-40 was meant to replace propeller aircraft on short grass strips in the Soviet Union – and even flew out of Hamburg. Here is how to recognize the classic.
Yakovlev Yak-42
Jak-42
Three engines at the rear, a high T-tail and a wing with strikingly little sweep: the Yak-42 was the Soviet short- and medium-haul jet for around 120 passengers. Here is how to recognize this rare three-engine jet.
Light aircraft for training, private and sightseeing flights, such as the Cessna 172 or Piper – the backbone of airfields away from the major airports.
