AIR-10 (Ya-10) by A.S.Yakovlev


S
port aircraft, close derivative of the AIR-9, without Taunend ring and with open cockpits. First flight took place on July 11, 1935. Conclusion of the NII VVS was favorable, aircraft was recommended as a monoplane trainer to make a transition from the U-2 biplane to growing park of fast monoplane fighters (mostly the I-16).
Among suggestions of the military expertise were:
  • increasing maximum load from 8g to 10g;
  • lowering landing speed to 55km/h;
  • adding flaps and trimmers;
  • improving the pilots protection in case of nose-over;
    Aircraft went into production as '20' with yet another major change - its mixed metal/wood construction was replaced by all-wood for easier production launch.
    AIR-10 (same airplane) participated in contest of light aircraft in 1935 and 1936 winning the First Price and proving high performance and endurance during 5000km race Moscow - Gorky - Kazan - Sarapul - Perm - Sverdlovsk - Chelabinsk - Magnitogorsk - Kujbyshev - Saratov - Lugansk - Donetsk - Dnepropetrovsk - Kiev - Briansk - Moscow.
  • In 1937 it was installed on floats from AIR-6 and tested.
