The Flight Test and Development Complex (LIIiDK) has carried out a test flight of the Yak-40 aircraft with tail number 87659. The aircraft is officially being put into service to provide flights with students of the LII test pilot school named after M.M. Gromov.
Manufactured in December 1972, the aircraft was registered in the State Register of Civil Aircraft of the USSR in 1973. In the same year, the Yak-40 87659 represented domestic aviation at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget. During its operation in the interests of the A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau, it performed cargo-passenger flights to various enterprises, and Alexander Sergeevich Yakovlev himself was repeatedly among its passengers.
From 1993 to 2010, the aircraft was used by airlines, after which it was transferred to the Irkutsk Aviation Production Association and transferred to experimental aviation.
Як-40 is the world's first three-engine turbojet passenger aircraft for local airlines, developed in the 1960s at the A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau. This aircraft has long become a symbol of domestic aviation, and its return to service is a significant event for the industry.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the second MS-21 aircraft will begin testing in Zhukovsky in a month.
