aircraft as cost effective as possible. Aircraft complies with requirements to entry level primary training, as well as basic,
advanced and special courses. As a result graduates are ready to fly aircraft like Su-27.

unique among trainers. Traditional for Yakovlev aircraft easy is enhanced by auxiliary power unit and automated on-board
diagnostics/monitoring system. And of course, Yak-130 may be used from unpaved airfields.
Up to 28% of the airframe is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics.
The engines are modification of the Progress (Zaporozhie, Ukraina) DV-2, modified by Klimov Engine Design Bureau.
Experience of Italian counterpart in production, sale and worldwide support of trainer aircraft should help to gain turf on
