Конструкция Як-40 / крыла
Крыло самолета прямое, большого удлинения, состоит из двух консолей. Каждая консоль снабжена тремя секциями выдвижных взлетно-посадочных закрылков и двумя секциями элеронов. Каждая консоль лонжеронной конструкции. Продольный набор каркаса консоли крыла состоит из 2-х продольных стенок, 1-ого лонжерона и шести пар стрингеров. Поперечный набор состоит из 34 нервюр. Обшивка конструкции выполнена из дюралюминиевых листов. В крыле сделаны вырезы под нишу, где в убранном положении размещаются амортизационная стойка и колесо главной опоры шасси. На каждой консоли крыла расположены три секции закрылков. Все секции аналогичны по конструкции. Каждая секция состоит из каркаса и обшивки. Каркас образован лонжероном, стрингерами, набором нервюр и поперечных профилей. На каждой консоли крыла расположены соответственно корневая и концевая секции элеронов, имеющих весовую балансировку и аэродинамическую компенсацию. Конструктивно каждая секция элеронов состоит из лонжеронов, набора нервюр и обшивки.
Конструкция продольных стенок — швеллерная балка, состоящая из верхнего и нижнего поясов и стенки, подкрепленной стойками. Стрингеры изготовлены из прессованных алюминиевых профилей таврового сечения.


The Yakovlev Yak-40 (NATO reporting name: Codling) is a small, three-engined airliner that is often called the first regional jet transport aircraft. It was introduced in 1966.
MPK-Rossiya/0954647
Built to replace the Lisunov Li-2 (a DC-3 variant) and the Ilyushin Il-14, its main design feature was ease of operation outside major airport service areas. It was equipped with a built-in airstair and capable of STOL operations.
Since the demise of the old Aeroflot, many have been converted from passenger service layout to more luxurious corporate layouts and are in use as corporate and private aircraft.
Most of the Yak-40s in active service fly in the former Soviet Union. Some are flying in Europe, but are rare because of noise restrictions.
Its nickname is "flying whistle"', for the distinct engine sound it makes. Another one is "истребитель керосина" ("kerosene exterminator") for low fuel efficiency: Yak-40 operating airfields are well known for leaving black fins on the runway.

I almost forgot, the second is John Paul Young - Love Is In The Air.

The name of the singer is Виктория Дайнеко and the name of the song is called: просто сразу тебя уйду.

I flew on a Yak-40 from Tbilisi to Baku in 1986. During the flight, one of the crew came out of the cockpit and sat by the door; he proceeded to put his elbow on the door handle and go to sleep! A loud bell sounded in the cockpit and another crew member came running out and shouted at the sleeping crew member.

By the time we got to Baku the air pressure inside was so bad that I couldn't hear very well for about 24 hours. As I wrote in my diary at the time, "Aeroflot has ceased to be funny."

A stable, and friendly aircraft to fly. Within normal parameters of performance envelope it is very responsive to control inputs, and will not "bite" you unless you do something stupid. Excellent Soviet era aircraft.

May be. But it was built more then forty years ago. Economic was not so depending on fuel prises. And the pies needed in small plane on the ways of small extension. Yes, you are right, in countries of 3-d word it was very important, especially in inclement conditions.

Read the description. One of the nick names was "kerosene exterminator". So the fuel efficiency wasn't great. Also by that time turbo jet engines were giving way to turbofans that are more efficient and quiet. That's why it didn't really became a big hit on world wide markets. One of the advantages was its ability to operate from unimproved airfields. But by then it was only important to Russia and 3-rd world countries.

It was a good plane , but not fuel efficient.

[hoggdawn]

fantastic airplane. rugged, fuel efficient and comfortable (for its time). Too bad a bunch weren't imported to the West.

[fetchfilms]

back seat is probably the best with the wing and engine and saftey

[gerardojamc]

what´s the name of the song?
