Yak-40 Design
Wing Design
The wing of the aircraft is straight, large elongation, consists of two consoles. Each console is equipped with three sections of retractable take-off and landing flaps and two sections of ailerons . Each console spar design. The longitudinal set of the wing console frame consists of two longitudinal walls, one spar and six pairs of stringers. Cross set consists of 34 ribs . The skin is made of duralumin sheets. Cuts were made in the wing for a niche where, in the retracted position, the suspension strut and the wheel of the main landing gear are placed. At the same time, the landing gear is equipped with soft cushioning and large-diameter wheels, which reduces the specific pressure on the runway surface and allows the aircraft to be used at unpaved airfields.
There are three flap sections on each wing console. All sections are similar in design. Each section consists of a frame and casing. The frame is formed by a spar, stringers, a set of ribs and transverse profiles. On each wing console, respectively, the root and end sections of the ailerons are located, having weight balancing and aerodynamic compensation. Structurally, each section of the ailerons consists of spars, a set of ribs and casing.
The design of the longitudinal walls is a channel beam, consisting of upper and lower zones and a wall reinforced by struts. Stringers are made of extruded aluminum profiles of T-section.
Aerodynamic design
Three -engine turbojet low-wing rear-engined engines with a direct wing and a single- tail T- tail .
A design feature of the aircraft is the aft ramp descending from the tail to allow people to board.
Engines
Three AI-25 turbojet engines (3 × 1,500 kgf) developed by the GP ZMKB Progress named after Academician A. G. Ivchenko : two engines are mounted on pylons in the rear of the fuselage, the third inside the rear of the fuselage with an S-shaped air intake. At the same time, the average (tail) engine on the Yak-40 was distinguished by a strong smoky exhaust, especially on take-off mode. In connection with this feature, the Yak-40 received the nickname "cigarette butt" in many squadrons.
The reversing device on the middle engine is part of the design of the aircraft. This solution allowed for the interchangeability of engines.
As an auxiliary power unit used AI-9 .
History
The decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the creation of an aircraft to replace the IL-12 and IL-14 was issued in 1960. The Yak-40 project was developed at the Yakovlev Design Bureau in 1964. He became the second-ever jet aircraft for local airlines, after the North American Saberliner 60 for 12 passengers of Continental Airlines . The prototype was built in 1965, flight tests began in 1966: on October 21, the first flight of the Yak-40 with three AI-25 turbofan engines took place. Test pilots A. L. Kolosov , Yu. V. Petrov piloted the car. Already in 1967 the aircraft was put into serial production at the aircraft factory in Saratov .
The first regular flights of the Yak-40 began from Bykovo Airport, which was reflected in the coat of arms of the urban settlement of Bykovo, Ramensky District, Moscow Region in 2009 [4] .
The aircraft of the first releases had 24 passenger seats. For some time the aircraft was produced with a take-off mass of 14.7 tons and 27 seats. The flight range was 710 km (with fuel reserves). Later, they began to produce an improved version with a take-off mass of 16.1 tons and 32 seats. On this modification, it was possible to increase the flight range. Scheme with a direct wing and aft installation of three engines, the middle of which is equipped with a reversing device. Horizontal flight with one of three engines is possible.
In mid-1972, the Yak-40 aircraft flew over 150 million kilometers and transported about 7 million passengers [5] .
Serial production of the aircraft was discontinued in 1981 due to the transition of the manufacturer to the production of a new Yak-42 aircraft . Another reason was the campaign of savings that began in the country. A jet plane carrying only two to three dozen people over short distances became economically disadvantageous. The last instance of the Yak-40 serial number 9840459 was built for the Transcarpathian Engineering Plant in January 1982 [6] . The first mass retirement of liners took place in the late 1980s. In the 1990s, the difficulties with acquiring new equipment and the relatively low prices for aviation fuel made the Yak-40 a popular aircraft, many of which were used as corporate and VIP transport during these years. In 1992, the Smolensk Aviation Plant organized the completion of the Yak-40 aircraft in the Yak-40D version with an increased volume of fuel tanks (6 tons), and in 1996 - the completion of the Yak-40 aircraft in the administrative version (installation of radio equipment for flights on international lines, business class interior equipment, exterior painting with polyurethane enamels). As the fleet grew older, fuel prices rose, more economical and modern competitors appeared on the market, and regional air transportation rapidly collapsed, Yak-40 type aircraft began to appear less and less in the sky, and their mass retirement and withdrawal began in the early 2000s. out of operation.
SibNIA modernization
In 2012, initiative works on remotorization of the Yak-40 began at SibNIA . On one of the machines, first one and later two engines were replaced with a Garrett TFE731 . After a successful run-in, the third engine in the fuselage was dismantled and an auxiliary power unit with appropriate aerodynamic overlays was installed in place of the dismantled air intake and nozzle. In November 2016, an upgraded twin-engine aircraft, known as the Yak-40MS, made its first flight [7] [8] .
Subsequently, the twin-engine machine became the basis for developing the elements of a promising aircraft for regional and local air transportation by order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade . In the framework of the corresponding R&D, the aircraft received the name of the technology demonstrator STR-40DT . In 2018, it completely replaced the wing with a composite one. In December 2018, the aircraft began a test flight program [9] . It was assumed that R&D would end with the creation of a prototype of a new fully composite aircraft in the dimensions and layout of the Yak-40 [10] .

In the future, other engines were tested [13] , as well as propellers [13] . | one OK-EEA, later OK-020 [13] |
In 2012, at the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation named after Chaplygina (SibNIA), a study was begun to replace the Yak-40 engines [14] with more modern and economical ones during overhaul. The project did not involve the participation of OKB. Yakovlev, who declared disinterest in working on an airplane [15] . In 2016, at the Yeltsovka aerodrome ( Novosibirsk ), the Yak-40MS laboratory plane took off, equipped with two engines instead of three AI-25 [15] .
The next project was the Yak-40 with a new wing of a larger scope and smaller area made of composite materials and with wingtips (winglets) , with a range increased from 3 to 5 thousand km, at a significantly higher speed [16] . The stated goal of the project is to test the technologies used in the Prospective light multi-purpose aircraft for high-speed aircraft. The start of flight tests was scheduled for the end of 2017 [16] . Later, the deadlines were postponed to 2019, the aircraft received the design name STR-40DT (turbojet 40 technology demonstrator). The sample was equipped with two leased TFE731-5BR engines with a thrust of 2100 kgf, which will allow it to reach speeds of more than 700 km / h [17] .
December 4, 2018 STR-40DT first took off from the factory airfield of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after V.P. Chkalova - Yeltsovka . The machine was driven by a crew led by commander Igor Moseykin, head of the SibNIA Aviation Certification Center [14] .
In April 2017, the scientific director of SibNIA Aleksey Seryuznov announced that the institute’s specialists plan to manufacture a composite aircraft fuselage, which will create a fully composite prototype Yak-40 [18] .
Yak-40 abroad
Since 1967, the Yak-40 was regularly exhibited at foreign air shows [19] and was able to interest foreign buyers with its characteristics. The seller was the Soviet foreign trade association Aviaexport , which received orders for the Yak-40 from airlines from Germany (an order for 14 aircraft), Italy, France and Sweden. But due to the protracted certification process (in many respects due to the fact that the USSR did not allow foreign specialists to inspect aircraft production), many plans were not destined to come true [20] .
The certificate of airworthiness of Italy and the Federal Republic of Germany was obtained in 1972 and thus the Yak-40 became the first domestic aircraft [19] [20] , which was given the opportunity to be operated by companies in capitalist countries.
In addition to Western Europe , Aviaexport proposed to Boeing to jointly sell and service the Yak-40 in North America , but there was a part of the US government structures against this project and there was no further intention [20] .
Italy
In Italy, Aeroflot had a share (30%) in the regional airline Aertirrena from Florence , under the flag of which the USSR decided to conduct a demonstration tour in Asia and Australia . On September 29, 1970, the Yak-40 (reg. I-JAKA) was assigned to the airline’s fleet [21] , and on June 19, 1971 went on a tour along the route Florence → Ankara → Tehran → Lahore → New Delhi → Calcutta → Rangoon → Bangkok → Singapore → Denpasar → Kupang → Darwin → Mount Isa → Melbourne → Sydney → Canberra → Roma → Charleville → Darwin → Kupang → Jakarta → Kuala Lumpur → Bangkok → Songkhla → Rangoon → Calcutta → Delhi → Lahore → Karachi → Isfakhan Diya → Istanbul → Florence [22] .
After the demo tour, the Yak-40 who participated in it returned to the USSR in 1972, where he received the registration number of the USSR-87657 [21] (it was during this period that he got into the frame of an advertising film about the Yak-40), but since certification of the aircraft in Italy was completed, instead of it two new cars arrived in Italy in the same year (reg. I-JAKE (also appearing in the film) and I-JAKI) [20] , which Aertirrena leased to Olympic Airways [ 23] .
Due to financial difficulties in 1975, Aertirrena ceased operation, and its Yak-40 were transferred to the newly formed airline Avio Ligure , which was created specifically for the operation of the Yak-40 [24] . On May 28, 1977, one of the Yaks (reg. I-JAKE) rolled out from the runway into the sea when landing at the Genoa airport [23] .
In 1980, Avio Ligure closed [24] . From 1981 to 1987, the remaining Yak-40 was operated by Cadabo (ceased operation in 1987); from 1987 to 1991 - the airline Alinord (closed in 1991). В итоге самолёт попал в либерийскую авиакомпанию Air Liberia Trp и в 1996 году он был уничтожен на аэродроме выстрелом из гранатомёта во время гражданской войны [21] .
ФРГ
В начале 1970-х годов германская авиакомпания General Air направила предложение «Авиаэкспорту» о покупке в кредит 5 самолётов Як-40. Советский Союз, заинтересованный в продаже самолётов, согласился, но выдвинул условия сделки: предоплата 30 % и погашение кредита в течение 4-х лет с гарантией от какого-либо из ведущих банков Германии. После ряда переговоров окончательное соглашение выглядело так: предоплата 15 % от стоимости самолётов и кредит на 6 лет, в качестве гаранта выступал частный банк одного из учредителей авиакомпании. Кроме того СССР обязывался организовать склад запчастей и провести обучение пилотов и обслуживающего персонала. 2 октября 1972 года первый Як-40 начал полёты из аэропорта Гамбурга [2] .
Нефтяной кризис 1973 года сильно ударил по бюджету авиакомпании. Из-за неэкономичности двигателей АИ-25 доля расходов на топливо в авиакомпании выросла с 12 до 36 процентов. Плюс к этому один из самолётов (рег. D-BOBD) 19 февраля 1975 года потерпел аварию при посадке в аэропорту Саарбрюккена [25] , после чего борт был списан. В итоге тяжёлое финансовое положение авиакомпании привело к её банкротству [2] .
В 1975 году оставшиеся четыре самолёта были возвращены в СССР и продолжили полёты в Аэрофлоте.
Як-40 в Латинской Америке
Помимо Европы и Азии «Авиаэкспорт» активно продвигал самолёт и на южноамериканский рынок, где нетребовательный к развитой аэродромной инфраструктуре Як-40 мог получить неплохой спрос. Причём советская сторона позиционировала Як-40 как прямую замену поршневому Douglas DC-3 [20] .
Первая договорённость о поставке 5 самолётов Як-40 была достигнута с колумбийской авиакомпанией Aerocóndor de Colombia . При этом СССР намеревался не ограничиваться продажей, но и решил организовать в портовом городе Барранкилья сборочное производство [26] .
«Авиаэкспорт» изначально предоставил очень льготные условия для покупки самолётов. При цене около 1,2 миллиона американских долларов предоставлялся кредит на следующих условиях: 2 % годовых сроком на 15 лет [20] .
Як-40 (рег. CCCP-87791) [27] , произведённый в 1969 году на Саратовском авиационном заводе [28] , был разобран и морем доставлен в Барранкилью. В начале 1972 самолёт был собран советскими специалистами и подготовлен к демонстрационным полётам, программа которых предусматривала и испытания самолёта в высокогорной местности. В Колумбии было совершено 29 полётов в 10 городах. Также демонстрационные полёты выполнялись в Эквадоре (11 полётов в 5 городах), Перу (13 полётов), Венесуэле , Боливии , Бразилии , Чили , Аргентине и Уругвае . После чего машина вновь прибыла в колумбийский город Барранкилью, откуда и начинался маршрут тура [19] .
Далее последовал следующий этап полётов — полёты в странах Центральной и Северной Америки, во время которого Як-40 посетил Коста-Рику , Панаму , Мексику , США и Канаду . Из Канады в Аляску и перелетев через Берингов пролив приземлился на территории СССР — в Анадыре и далее в Москву. Всего за 6 месяцев пребывания в Америке Як-40 под управлением КВС Арсения Леонидовича Колосова налетал более 100 тысяч километров и посетил 14 стран [5] .
Самолёт хоть и оставил приятное впечатление, но так и не нашёл покупателей. Контракт с авиакомпанией Aerocóndor de Colombia был расторгнут по причине того, что колумбийские власти не сертифицировали самолёт. Также был отменён проект по сборке Як-40 в Барракилье. Только три страны региона выдали сертификат типа: Куба , Боливия и Гватемала [26] .
Демо-тур в Африке
Последний продолжительный демонстрационный тур был совершён по африканским странам. Для полёта был подготовлен Як-40 (рег. СССР-87597).
Первой точкой на маршруте была столица Эфиопии Аддис-Абеба . Всего было посещено 17 стран Африки. Демо-тур проходил в следующем порядке (указано часть точек маршрута): Аддис-Абеба → Найроби → Дар-Эс-Салам → Лусака → Лагос → Санта-Исабель → Дакар → Нуакшот → Рабат → Тунис . В каждой точке маршрута выполнялись показательные полёты. Самолёт осматривали представители властных и деловых кругов посещаемых стран [29] .
