Soviet Jet VTOL: Yak-36, Yak-38, & Yak-41

* Beginning in the 1950s, the West began to work on various concepts for jet-powered vertical takeoff or landing (VTOL) combat aircraft. Of course, during those days of the Cold War, whatever the West did, the Soviets had to do as well (and the reverse), so the USSR developed a series of jet VTOL machines. This document provides a history and description of Soviet jet VTOL combat aircraft efforts

Four Yak-36s were built, with only two actually used for flight tests. Initial tethered flights were in 1963, with an initial untethered flight using a conventional takeoff on 27 July 1964, and the first full VTOL flight on 24 March 1966. Yuri Garnayev performed the initial flights, though he was hospitalized after an accident in a helicopter, and most of the flights, including the first full VTOL flight, were performed by Valentin Mukhin.
