2. Yak-3 - Soviet single-engine fighter aircraft. Yak-3 created in 1943, the team headed by Yakovlev, developing already proved themselves in combat Yak-1M. From its predecessor, the Yak-3 is less wing (with an area of ​​14, 85 square meters instead of the 17, 15) with the same dimensions of the fuselage and a number of aerodynamic and structural improvements. Oil cooler, which was located under the engine before the VC-105PF2, was moved to the wing, and its intake was abolished and replaced with inlets to wear wings. Empty weight Yak-3 was only 2105 kg take-off - 2650 kg.
It was one of the lightest fighter in the world of the first half of the forties. High speed (over 650 km / h with the engine VC-105PF2 and 720-740 km / h with engine VC-107 and VC-108), an excellent rate of climb (when dialing 5 thous. M - 4, 1 minute, good ceiling (11 800 m) and maneuverability, ease of piloting done Yak-3 favorite airplane fighter pilots. The design of the Yak-3 was embodied experience of the team, has created a number of non-combat vehicles and directions pilots that they fought to achieve the industry, which gave designers materials allowed to design a car with a wing loading close to 200 kg / m2. In conclusion, the Air Force Institute noted that the Yak-3 with an engine VK-107A & quot; ... on the basic performance data in a range of heights from the ground to the practical ceiling is the best-known domestic and foreign fighter & quot ;. factory built 4848 Yak-3.

The plane had metal wings, fuselage mixed design and fully retractable landing gear with a tail wheel; the instructor and student has a total glazed cabin.
Motor - AL-21, 570 liters. s., semitsilindrovaya star air cooling. The propeller - VISH 111-D-15 two-blade, metal, with automatic constant speed R-7E.
Motor control, instruments for his work, and the air navigation facilities are located on the dashboard and side panels of the front cabin, which is a student in shower.

Fuselage - metal semi-monocoque. Wing and all-metal and are joined along the plane of symmetry of the aircraft. Laminar profile provides a low resistance even at high speeds. The tail section of a metal wheel with height, upholstered or with a metal shell. Boarding the plane is fixed with blind rivets, which is another factor that contributes to low resistance of the aircraft.
