Yakovlev.
During World War II
Yakovlev designed and produced a famed line of fighter aircraft.
It was merged into the Yak Aviation Company with Smolensk Aviation Plant Joint Stock Company
in March 1992, although the two companies continued to be operated separately. It later underwent privatization and became Yak Aircraft Corporation. The Russian government is planning to merge the holding company with Mikoyan
, Ilyushin
, Irkut, Sukhoi
and Tupolev
as a new company named United Aircraft Building Corporation.
The firm is the designer of the Pchela
drone reconnaissance aircraft and is perhaps best known for its highly successful line of World War II-era piston-engined fighter aircraft.
The name Yakovlev is used commonly in the West, but in Russia it is always abbreviated as Yak as a part of an aircraft name. The German transliteration, often used by the Russians, Poles, and others as well, is Jak.
