Wilco Aviation is proud to present the first of several exclusive listings for Yakovlev 50 and 52 aircraft in the UK. These aircraft are currently owned, operated, and displayed by the world-renowned Yakovlev display team, The Yakovlevs. The Yakovlev Yak-50 (Russian: Яковлев Як-50) is an aerobatic aircraft featuring a single-seat, all-metal, low-wing monoplane design with retractable main wheels and an exposed tail wheel. Its control surfaces are fabric-covered to reduce weight. Notably, the aircraft is not equipped with flaps. This particular Yak-50 is powered by a supercharged Vedeneyev M14P engine, producing 360 hp and driving the MTV 9 -250 propeller through a reduction gearbox. The landing gear, brakes, and engine starter are operated by compressed air, replenished by an engine-driven compressor. The main and emergency air bottles are located within the forward fuselage between the firewall and fuel tanks. Aircraft G-BTZB has undergone extensive modifications to enhance its performance and usability. These upgrades include replacing the traditional ignition system with an automotive modification for reliable starts, removing heavy wiring and inverter systems in favor of modern lightweight generator systems, strengthening the tail wheel, modifying the lower cylinder oil drain, and adding wing spades, among others. The Yakovlevs’ paint scheme is an adaptation of the livery used by aircraft in the 1941 Battle of Stalingrad to identify allies and has been used by The Yakovlevs in an honour to the men and women who were involved. The Yak-50 is known for its excellent handling characteristics, thanks to its high power-to-weight ratio and durable, agile airframe. This model was twice named World Aerobatic Champion and has served as a military trainer in several countries. All applicable Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and Service Bulletins (SBs) have been addressed. Full logs and records are available for inspection. Worldwide shipping and packaging can be arranged by experienced Yakovlev team aircraft engineers at an additional predetermined cost.
