ok heres a little known post war jet from a not very well known manufacturer,hopefully its not too hard! cheers tony
Thats Yak-23, it used Klimov RD-500 engine which was copy of Rolls-Royce Dervent V turbojet engine, it was believed that Rolls engines were stolen by spies, but few years ago it came to light that they were actually sold to Russians under post war technology exchange scheme.
Yak 23 is development from Yak-15 and Yak-17 jet fighters.
Yak-15 was one of few successfully piston driven production aircraft concerted into yet powered plane, it used German Junkers Jumo & BMW engines that Russians acquired after the war. Russian Jet engines were in early development stages then.
If you are into flight sims IL Sturmovik 1946 lets you fly fictional campaign in Yak-15, and at later stage of campaign you get to fly mig-9.
