[edit] Design and development

While pedecessors Yak-15 and Yak-17 had been based on piston engine fighters like the Yak-3, the Yak-19 was a complete new development. Its engine was the RD-10F turbojet, the world's first jet engine with afterburner, developed at TsAGI. First prototype Yak-19-I started early 1947 with test pilot Sergej Anochin. Second prototype had a changed dihedral of the horizontal stabiliser and added tip tanks. The wings of the Yak-19 were used for developing wings for the Yak-23.

[edit] Operational history

The plane was first seen by the public on 3 August 1947 Soviet Aviation Day, at Tushino airfield. Testing ended in 1947. No production was started as other types with better performance were available by then.
