The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a civil trainer airplane manufactured by Yakovlev in the Soviet Union and seeing use primarily as a training aircraft for Aeroflot pilots.

Summary

“	The Yak-18T is an all-metal, low-wing airplane produced by Russian aircraft manufacturer Yakovlev. The airplane was designed primarily to serve as a basic trainer for pilots of the Russian airline Aeroflot, and also for light passenger and cargo transport. The sturdily-built Yak-18T took its maiden flight and was introduced in 1967, and has become notable for its ability to perform high-stress aerobatics. The 18T is crewed by either one or two, and has seating for five total. It measures 27 feet, 6 inches from nose to tail and has a 36 foot, 7.5 inch wingspan. The airplane, which features a retractable tricycle landing gear and a traditional empennage, is powered by a single 360-horsepower Vedeneyev M14P 9-cylinder radial piston engine. It has a range of 460 miles, a service ceiling of 13,000 feet above sea level, and a top speed of 163 miles per hour. The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a no-frills performance workhorse that really shines when pilots want to test their aerobatic skills. With a takeoff run of just 650 feet and a landing distance of a little over 700, the Yak-18T can operate out of most any airfield, and once in the air, aviators can really make it shine with maneuvers that generate up to an impressive 6.4 or -3.2 Gs.	”
