Experimental fighter Yak-140
The Yak-140 is an experimental fighter developed by the Yakovlev design bureau. Created in the mid-1950s, the Yak-140 fighter remained a mystery to both Western and domestic aviation historians until recently. And this is not surprising, because the machine not only did not take part in air shows, which were held regularly at that time, but never even took off, although it was built and taxied at the LII airport in Zhukovsky. Further interest in the Yak-140 is due to the fact that this light first-line fighter could compete well with the well-known MiG-21.
