AIR-5, A.S.Yakovlev

AIR-5 (36k b/w) from "History of aircraft construction in the USSR", Vol.1 p.477

High-wing passenger monoplane. Fuselage frame - wielded of steel tubes, front section covered with duralumin, central and tail sections - with fabric. In this aircraft A.S.Yakovlev took all possible of the high wing scheme with struts and fixed landing gear.

AIR-5 passed State Acceptance Trials in April 1932 at NII GVF.

Light aircraft took all possible from its scheme and powerplant. Performance was excellent, but it was not built in series because there were no suitable domestic 200hp engine at the time.
