    There are some mistakes about RED engine. The RED A03 is V12 engine while the RED A05 is V6 and its max power is 350HP, not 300HP.

    New take-off magazine issue
    http://en.take-off.ru/index.php/component/content/article/45/431

    Just downloaded and quickly read. I am so confusing about the final chosen engine for Yak-152. In the magazine they said the final chosen engine will be RED A03 V12 500hp and optional RED A05 V6 350hp instead of M-14X engine that has been stopped producing. However many sources recently claimed that the sanction and the priority using domestic products made 150 Yak-152s that orderred for Russian AF changed their engine from German RED A03 to domestic M-14X.

    So which one is the latest and updated news?

    Continuation of flight tests of the first prototype Yak-152

    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 205615

    As reported on March 9, 2017 by the Department of Information and Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov inspected the implementation of the State Defense Order at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant [branch of PJSC Irkut Corporation].

    When the company visited Yuri Borisov told reporters that the Russian Defense Ministry plans in 2017 to conclude with the Irkutsk Aviation Plant a contract for the delivery of the first three Yak-152 training aircraft. Observing the demonstration flight of the prototype of this car, he noted that "the impressions from the aircraft are the most favorable."

    Serial production of the Yak-152 is scheduled to be launched in March 2017. It is expected that it will become an airplane of initial flight training for flight schools and first courses of aviation schools. After that, the cadets will be transferred to the combat training aircraft Yak-130.


    Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov in September 2015 announced that the Defense Ministry plans to purchase 150 aircraft of this type. In June 2015, Deputy Director of the Department of Aviation - Head of the Department of Flight Operations DOSAAF Andrei Lebedev said that DOSAAF intends to purchase 105 aircraft by 2020.

    So the Altius long range drone prototype is equipped with RED diesels
    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 ALTIUS-M_170417_01

    No sign of a rotary engined Yak-152 prototype -> its looking like they will be using RED for Yak-152 after all.

    Saw it said elsewhere that while located in Germany the RED company is owned by a Russian, has a heap of Russian staff, Russian funding & was at least talking about setting up manufacturing in Russia several yrs back.

    The first prototype Yak-152 was painted

    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 210933

    Recall that the Yak-152 was developed by JSC OKB im. A.S. Yakovlev, part of the PJSC Irkut Corporation, within the framework of the Bird-Air Force, launched in 2014. Construction of two samples for flight tests (serial numbers 0001 and 0002), one for static testing (serial number 0003), and one for resource tests (serial number 0004) is carried out at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, a branch of PJSC Irkut Corporation. The first flight prototype of the Yak-152 (serial number 0001) made its first flight to Irkutsk on September 29, 2016. The Yak-152 aircraft for the Russian Ministry of Defense are equipped with the RED A03T V12 diesel engine nominally to the German company RED Aircraft Vladimir Raikhlin, funded by the Russian holding company Finam.

    In 2017, five more Yak-152 aircraft will be built

    As the agency "INTERFAX-AVN" reported on July 25, 2017, five Yak-152 training aircraft will be built in 2017 by the Irkut corporation, next year plans for the production of about 10 cars of this type are planned. This was reported to Interfax-AVN on Tuesday in the aircraft building industry.

    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 4492282_original


    "By the end of this year, it is planned to build the first batch of three Yak-152 in Irkutsk for their subsequent delivery to the Air Force Aerospace Force (VCS) of Russia. In addition, two more aircraft must be built to intensify the flight tests. End of the year Irkutsk will release five cars, "- said the source.

    According to him, "in 2018 the Irkutsk aircraft plant (branch of PJSC" Corporation "Irkut") can produce more than ten Yak-152. "

    Speaking about export potential of TCB Yak-152, the interlocutor of the agency noted that, in particular, "Kazakhstan and Belarus favored the purchase of cars of this type for their flying schools."

    "The aircraft has not yet been adopted for military service, but after that the demand for the Yak-152 on the world market is expected to be high," he believes.

    On the bmpd side, we recall that the Yak-152 was developed by OKB im. A.S. Yakovlev, part of the PJSC Irkut Corporation, within the framework of the Bird-Air Force, launched in 2014. Construction of two samples for flight testing (serial numbers 0001 and 0002), one for static testing (serial number 0003), and one for resource tests (serial number 0004) was carried out at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, a branch of PJSC Irkut Corporation. The first flight prototype of the Yak-152 aircraft (serial number 0001, onboard number "01" / "201") made its first flight to Irkutsk on September 29, 2016, the second flight sample (serial number 0002, on-board number "02") was demonstrated on MAKS-2017 airshow, and is expected to begin flight tests in the near future.

    The Yak-152 aircraft for the Ministry of Defense of Russia are equipped with the 12-cylinder V-shaped diesel engine RED A03T V12 (takeoff power of 500 hp) nominally to the German company RED Aircraft Vladimir Raikhlin, financed by the Russian holding company Finam.
    Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov in March 2017 reported that the Russian Defense Ministry plans in 2017 to conclude with the Irkutsk Aviation Plant a contract for the delivery of the first three serial Yak-152 aircraft.

    New Russian training aircraft - foreign view

    In the magazine "Air International" for October 2017 was published an article "Russia's new primary trainer", our blog leads her translation.

    The Yak-152 is a new training aircraft for the Russian Air Force. Two Yak-152s were shown at the MAKS-2017 airshow - a plane with a number "01", painted gray, took part in the flight program, and the aircraft numbered "02", in a red-white-yellow coloring was shown at a static display and did not go into the air until the end of the cabin. A few more aircraft are in production. In accordance with the contract of the Russian Air Force for conducting research and development on the subject "Bird-Air", the Irkutsk Aviation Plant will produce two Yak-152 prototype for flight tests and two for fatigue and static tests. In September 2015, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov announced that the VKS intend to purchase 150 Yak-152, developed in the Yakovlev Design Bureau for initial training of pilots. Production of aircraft will be carried out by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, and he and Yakovlev Design Bureau are members of Irkut Corporation.

    Chief Designer Yakovlev Dmitry Drach is satisfied with the plane, he said, "for the first time in 30 years we developed a plane for general aviation." The first Yak-152 with the onboard number "01" took off on September 29, 2016. At MAKS-2017 Drach announced that the Yak-152 will begin state tests in the fall of 2017.

    Yakovlev Design Bureau has developed the Yak-152 with a simple and sturdy glider, as well as a small number of elements, including the engine bonnet, the cock screw and the wingtip, made of composite materials. During the strength tests, the glider sustained a load of 13.5g, which equals the operational overload of 9g (with a coefficient of 1.5). The wing has a modern profile and creates a significant lift and prevents entry into the tailspin. Compared with the Yak-52 development of 1974, which is still used for training pilots, the Yak-152 has much more power. As a result, Drach reported that the climb rate of the aircraft reached 12-13 m / s, and the speed rose from 280 to 380 km / h.
    The chassis is created by Aviaagregat JSC and uses sturdy chassis and low-pressure tires. The cadet (in the front seat) and the instructor sit one after the other under a single lantern in the catapulted seats Star SKS-94M2-152.

    Next to the Yak-152 was the A03T V12 engine, which was produced by RED Aircraft GmbH (Adenau, Germany), founded by emigrant from Russia Vladimir Reichlin.

    In Russia, the engines are assembled and serviced by Russo-Balt, co-owned by Raykhlin. The diesel six-cylinder A03T has European, Russian and American certificates. Its takeoff power reaches 500 hp, it rotates the three-blade propeller MTV-9-E-S. According to Drach, the engine has already been finalized for flights with negative overloads.

    The screw Yak-152 and jet Yak-130 are part of the overall training system. To ensure a smooth transition from one aircraft to another, VKS Russia ordered Yak-152 cab equipment similar to the Yak-130.

    Yak-152 for the civil market will be equipped with simplified equipment of the pilot's cabin without a military navigation system, a system of recognition and communication.

    Another applicant

    Advertised by its manufacturer as a candidate for the role of training aircraft for the Russian Air Force, with the inscription "Air Force of Russia" on the keel, the SR-10 jet aircraft took part in the MAKS-2017 flight program. The CP-10 was developed by the private Russian SAT CC since 2007. The first flight took place on December 25, 2015, and it is being tested from the Kubinka airfield.

    Its difference is the moderate (10 °) reverse sweep of the wing. The glider is made of composite materials. The prototype CP-10 is equipped with an AI-25TL engine with a thrust of 16.87 kN, borrowed from the training and combat aircraft L-39S. Serial aircraft will be equipped with engines of similar traction, for example, AL-55, SM-100 or RD-2500.

    In 2014, the project SR-10 was transferred to the Ministry of Defense of Russia as a participant in the tender for a new training aircraft for the initial and main stages of training. Despite the failure, the SAT KB still offers a Russian military aircraft as a transitional aircraft in the niche between the Yak-152 and the Yak-130. However, the order of Russia's military aircraft on the CP-10 seems unlikely, since there is no need to introduce a new type of aircraft between the Yak-152 and the Yak-130. And private owners who like the unusual and attractive outer fork of the CP-10, can give him a chance to receive orders.

    Source: Russian Air Force Buys 230 Prop-Driven Trainer Airplanes

    The Russian Defense Ministry is going to procure 230 propeller-driven training airplanes for military pilot cadets, an informed insider from aircraft industry told Mil.Press Today.

    "The military agency is about to buy 230 propeller planes for primary training of pilots. It is not specified what exactly planes are in question though. Defense minister Sergey Shoigu has signed the corresponding document", explained the source in the interview to Mil.Press Today.

    According to the interviewee, this issue will be clarified after completion of state trials of Yak-152, and the only competitor for the contract will be Austrian plane Diamond DART-550.

    Honored pilot of Russia, General Alexander Akhlyustin believes Yak-152 has more chances to win the tender. "It is just the kind of plane (Yak-152 – editor’s remark) that pilots need for basic training. Without extra frills, the main thing is that cadets develop tactile perception of airplane control, can rapidly make decisions as of speed, altitude and flight course", he said.

    In May 2018, press service of Ural Works of Civil Aviation (UWCA) told Mil.Press Today that the company would not deliver Diamond DA42Т airplanes to the Russian Airspace Force.
    For reference

    The primary trainer airplane Yak-152 performed the maiden flight on September 29, 2016. In spring 2018 it was reported about localization of the aircraft engine. Production of the German powerplant RED-A03T was delegated to a company named Russo-Balt. Earlier, Mil.Press Today reported that Yak-152 was tested in critical flight conditions.

    After training course on Yak-152, pilots will continue practice on Yak-130. Thanks to similar avionics, cockpit ergonomics and indication, the perspective airplane integrates into the two-stage pilot training system, following with the more sophisticated operational trainer Yak-130.

    Turboprop airplanes Diamond DART-550 are designed by Austrian Diamond Aircraft Industries for basic training in flight schools. The key difference of DART-550 from the previously built two flight prototypes DART-450 is the turboprop engine General Electric GE H75-100. Max takeoff weight of DART-550 is 2,400 kg, max speed near ground is 460 kph, max endurance is 8 hours.

    Built another prototype Yak-152

    As reported on May 27, 2019, the Mil.Press Military web site, the Irkutsk Aviation Plant (part of the Irkut Corporation PJSC) manufactured the fifth prototype of the Yak-152 training aircraft, the Design Bureau Yakovlev told to Mil.Press. According to him, the sixth plane is under construction now.

    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 245265
    The first two flight prototypes of the Yak-152 training aircraft are aircraft with serial numbers 1520001 (tail number "01 white" / "201", gray, right) and 1520002 (tail number "02 white", red, left) . Zhukovsky, January 2019 (c) Sergey Dorokhov / russianplanes.net (link)


    The first two of them already rose into the air. They completed a total of 145 flights, the source added.

    According to information published in the annual report for 2018, the first prototype (№1520001) performed 68 test flights.

    "We carried out including flights according to the preliminary program (factory tests), the program for evaluating the performance of the power plant when performing pilotage figures with near-zero and negative overloads and the flight test program to determine the patterns of loading of the main aircraft power structures," said Yak -152 - Yakovlev Design Bureau.

    Aircraft No. 1520003 last year completed static tests at the Central Aero-Hydrodynamic Institute named after Professor N.Ye. Zhukovsky and August 10, 2018 received a conclusion on the static strength of the structure.

    Experts of the Yakovlev Design Bureau also corrected the design documentation (KD) for the completion of the first and second Yak-152 for flight tests, conducted design support in the manufacture of the aircraft No. 1520005 for flight tests, and also corrected the CD for the experienced board No. 1520007 for carrying out life tests.

    In 2017, the first prototype of the Yak-152 performed 51 test flights, according to the annual report for that period.

    As the chief designer of the OKB Yakovlev Dmitry Drach told the publication, the Yak-152 will be shown on the Army 2019 forum.

    Help Mil.Press Military

    The primary training aircraft of the Yak-152 pilots first flew on September 29, 2016. In the spring of 2018 it became aware of the localization of the engine of the machine. Production of the German power plant RED-A03T took the company "Russo-Balt". Earlier, Mil.Press Military reported that the Yak-152 was tested in critical flight modes.

    The pilots who have undergone initial training on the Yak-152 will be able to continue training on the Yak-130. Due to the similarity of the onboard radio-electronic equipment, cockpit ergonomics and indications, the prospective aircraft is built into the two-stage system of training of flight personnel with continued training on a more serious combat training "hundred thirty".

    Production of the Yak-152 is organized at the Irkutsk aircraft factory - a branch of the corporation "Irkut".


    From the side of bmpd, we recall that the Yak-152 training aircraft was developed by OAO OKB Yakovlev”, which is a part of PJSC“ Irkut Corporation ”, in the framework of the ROC“ Ptichka-VVS ”begun in 2014. Construction of two samples for flight tests (serial numbers 1520001 and 1520002), one for static tests (serial number 1520003), and one for life tests (serial number 1520004) was carried out at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, a branch of PJSC Irkut Corporation. The first flight prototype of the Yak-152 (serial number 1520001, on-board number "01" / "201") made its first flight in Irkutsk on September 29, 2016, the second flight model (serial number 1520002, on-board number "02") was demonstrated at air show MAKS-2017, and began flight tests in 2018. Now both of the first flight prototypes are in Zhukovsky.

    It was stated that for the intensification of flight tests two more prototype Yak-152 aircraft should be built. It can be assumed that, in fact, in the message of Mil.Press Military, it is about the first of these two aircraft (serial number 1520005), which is the third Yak-152 flight, and thus, the figure “five” of the Yak-152 also includes two the above non-flying prototype (serial numbers 1520003 and 1520004).

    The Yak-152 aircraft are equipped with a 12-cylinder aviation V-shaped diesel engine RED A03T V12 (take-off power 500 hp) nominally German company RED Aircraft Vladimir Raykhlin, funded by the Russian holding company Finam. In Russia, engines are assembled and serviced by Russo-Balt, the co-owner of which is Reichlin.

    The then Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, Yuri Borisov, in March 2017 announced that the Russian Ministry of Defense planned to conclude a contract with the Irkutsk Aviation Plant for the supply of the first three production aircraft Yak-152.

    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 Empty RED A03 engine for the Yak-152

    Post  Rodion_Romanovic Thu May 05, 2022 4:37 am

    Now finally we arrive at the condition for which the diesel engine of the yak-152 trainer, the RED A03, developed in Germany from Russian money by a Russian engineer will probably not be available anymore.

    Furthermore the company already found some other western customers and recently  the Swiss company Junkers Flugzeugwerke AG announced that it would resume production of the Ju-52 in a "Next Generation" version with modern RED A03 engines and modern avionics.

    https://flyer.co.uk/junkers-shows-new-a60-two-seater-and-reveals-ju-52-project/

    So it is improbable that the company will try to destroy its future to supply engines used by Russian military trainers and russian combat drones.

    This is sad as it is probably the most modern and most powerful aviation diesel engine currently built (up to 550hp).

    Was there any work done to have a domestic russian production of this engine and of all components from the supply chain?
    I was not able to find any info about it and I even read some article mentioning the necessity of a replacement engine (e.g derived from the gasoline engine of the aurus car)



    In the Russian Wikipedia page for this engine there is an extract from an old article (I believe from an online newspaper from more than 5 years ago), which says that the production could be moved in Russia in that case, but I was not able to find anything about it.

    Oleg Panteleev, editor-in-chief of the Aviaport aviation portal, believes that in the event of a direct ban on the sale of engines to Russian aircraft manufacturers, RED Aircraft will launch its production in our country, and in the worst case, Vladimir Raikhlin "will take the documents and move to Russia." “If the plans of the Ministry of Defense are fulfilled, Russia will become one of the largest buyers of the products of this company, since, in addition to the Ministry of Defense, there are more customers. In the event that the diesel engine proves to be viable as an aviation engine, I am sure that the issue of localizing its production will be resolved, ”Panteleev explained. According to him, this process will take no more than two years.

    Is there any truth to this or was it just wishful thinking?

    developed in Germany from Russian money by a Russian engineer will probably not be available anymore.

    Normal protocol is that if something is developed with the money coming from country x then the technology and whatever technology that is developed belongs to country x.
    The nationality of the engineer and the place it was developed mean nothing normally because the owner is generally the person who paid for it...

    I know, I already posted about it a few years ago in another thread. Russia did huge mistakes in Intellectual property management with this and with all the work done together with ukrainian firms in the past.
    What I mean now is what to do to correct this FUBAR

    If the computers are in germany they may block them and keep them for themselves.

    They need to transfert all the files from Germany to Russia.

    The engineer can't just come back to Russia and re-do all the work in matter of hours. And he is not alone, that a team of at least 20 engineers and probably more.

    This is nothing new. The sanctions on sales of German engine technology for use in military applications in Russia have been ongoing since the annexation of Crimea in 2014. This impacted the engines in the Buyan-M corvettes, Gremyashchiy corvettes, and the Yak-152 trainer engine among others. The engine in the Yak-152 in particular was supposed to be replaced with an engine based on the one in the Aurus luxury car from what I remember.

    Yes it is what I wrote as well, but apparently they continued using the RED-A03 engine.
    And anyway since it was a very good engine and developed with russian money it would be a waste not to localise it (or at least get something back from the company (even if with the current situation even a lawsuit would be useless))

    If it is their engine design how hard would it be to take the backup copies of the development material and all the plans and specs for the metals and parts used... in practise they should already have offsite backup for the information in Russia just in case the place where their plans are stored in Germany catches fire or gets flooded out.

    It sounds like an engine in that power rating class would be useful for training and civilian light aircraft as well as UAVs that are a bit bigger and less disposable than the cheap electric small ones.

    The guy said if there were any problems he would move back to Russia and make the engines there to get the contract for the job.... if he wants to break that agreement then the money they get from him and his company would help towards funding an alternative...

    The VK-800S is a turboprop model of the VK-800V gas turbine engine for helicopters and generates about 800hp.

    The V model for helicopters is about 140kg, which is about half the weight of the diesel and the dimensions are very similar though it would take a lot of work to adapt to the different engine type I suspect.

    It could be derated or have its power limited to maintain fuel economy...

    So there are Russian options but I agree, they paid for this engine and they planned to use this engine and they were promised if something happened they would get production in Russia... well something happened.

    If it all goes tits up I do hope the factory in Germany is powered by Russian gas...

    Yak-52 with a promising APD-A piston engine made runs and approaches
    09.12.2022
    Yak-152 Trainer Aircraft  - Page 3 Image31

    In Novosibirsk, a flying laboratory based on the Yak-52 aircraft performed runs and approaches as part of the planned stage of testing the demonstrator of the APD-A aviation piston engine, the press service of the Central Institute of Aviation Engine Building named after P. I. Baranov (CIAM) reported.

    The APD-A demonstrator engine is a modification of the APD-500 aviation piston engine developed at CIAM (power of 500 hp), which was created on the basis of the automobile engine of the "Tuple" family of EMP FSUE "NAMI". The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is the customer for the development of a family of piston aircraft engines, and CIAM is the lead contractor. The work is carried out jointly with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "NAMI" and the Federal State Educational Institution "SibNIA named after S. A. Chaplygin".

    Tests of the engine as part of the flying laboratory were held in SibNIA. A flying laboratory based on a Yak-52 aircraft with an APD-A demonstrator engine performed ground races, followed by taxiing, runway runs and approach flights.

    "Tests of the engine as part of the flying laboratory were carried out regularly and confirmed its ability to provide the necessary flight characteristics," commented Andrey Kozlov, General Director of CIAM.

    According to him, launches were worked out, working in different modes: ground racing, cruising and others, in which the thermal state and engine acceleration were evaluated, which is especially important for aerobatics. The interaction of all systems as a whole was also checked.

    Earlier, the APD-A demonstrator engine successfully passed a set of bench tests. At the same time, it was tested not only in "traditional" ways, but also in an inverted position – one of the main tasks of the acrobatic aircraft engine is to ensure the performance of complex and aerobatic figures in conditions of high positive and negative overloads, in inverted flight, at extreme modes.

    The main task of the next stage will be to finalize the engine design based on the results of tests conducted with the development of ADF-A on the ground stand, as well as to continue flight tests of the engine as part of the flying laboratory.

    This video talks about the VK-650V engine and how it is going to be used in the Ansat and Ka-226 and also the Yak-152 and also in Altius drones and it looks like they are not going to go ahead with that German engine and go with a Russian engine instead.

    In fact the video mentioned it was the Americans that blocked Russian access to the engine.

    Makes sense to me.

    They can examine the diesel engine they were going to use and use the same design innovations perhaps for some other diesel engines for ships and such like that are not so urgent... assuming the clever design scales up well... which of course is never guaranteed.

    But it means that in 2024 assuming everything goes to plan the VK-650V can go into serial production and Ansats and Ka-226s and Yak-152s and Altius drones can also go into serial production... the Ansats and Yak-152s being probably the most important in terms of training aircraft that are needed... but it will be good to get all those projects moving forward.

    Hi Garry, yes I read about the VK-650S for the yak-152.

    It is an important news. A turboprop engine probably is less fuel efficient than a diesel, but it has other advantages, including size and weight.

    Furthermore it can allow the cadets to get used to a turbine engine before moving to a high performance trainer.

    Saving fuel shouldn't be their top concern really... smaller lighter engines would make this trainer quite a rocket...

    They seem to be wanting to use this 650hp engine on their light trainer (Yak-152 x1) and training helicopter (Ansat x 2), and also on the Ka-226 x2 and the Altius drone x 2 as well, so they are going to need a lot of them I suspect, but they also mentioned the VK-800 for the Ansat and Ka-226... perhaps for heavier load models of the former and higher altitude operations for the latter aircraft, as well as for the Baikal and improved versions of the Altius drone.

    The VK-1600V is for the Ka-62...

    I guess the VK-800 would be good for the LMS-901 Baikal because although 800hp is rather less than the original engine in the An-2 the Baikal is a smaller lighter single wing aircraft with lower drag and weights, and fitting two such engines to the L-410 replacement gives good power levels and compatibility too.

    Lots of new engines coming on line next year... and not too soon... they will be able to use Russian aircraft with Russian engines for training... perhaps a new twin engined Yak-152 for twin engined training could be developed or perhaps another twin could fill the role... I am sure they have plenty of designs...
