The Yakovlev Experimental Design Bureau began work on such a machine in the late 1950s. 60 years ago, the Yak-36 first took to the skies, the demonstration of which at the aviation festival in Domodedovo in 1967 became a world sensation. The Yak-36 is the first prototype of a domestic vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The aircraft became a kind of “technology demonstrator.“ Test - on video.
