Yakovlev Yak-44
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yakovlev Yak-44 was a proposed twin turboprop Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft, resembling the United States Navy's E-2 Hawkeye, and intended for use with the Soviet Navy's Ulyanvosk class supercarriers. Along with the aircraft carrier it would have flown from, it was cancelled after the demise of the Soviet Union. A full-scale mockup model with foldable wings was built.
