Yakovlev Yak-130

The Yakovlev Yak-130 is a Russian trainer aircraft that first flew 26 April 1996 by A. Sinitsyn. Yakovlev and Aermacchi were pursuing joint development of the Yak-130. After the partners were unable to agree on various facets of the aircraft, the two pursued different development paths based upon the same initial design. Aermacchi's version is the M-346. It was previously known as the Yak-AT.
