This makes the Yak-54 the second Russian aerobatic aircraft, after the Sukhoi-29, to obtain the ICAO type certificate in recent years. Whereas the production of Sukhoi is suspended, due to internal problems, the Yak-54 is currently the only brand new Russian competition aircraft available on the market. |
