A small wholesome fact about the person, Yakovlev. He was a best friend to Sydney Camm, the man behind the Harrier program. Sydney met Yakovlev at Farnborough Air Show and he even allowed Yakovlev to enter the Harrier's cockpit. Yakovlev determined & promised to him to make a plane that could equal Camm's Harrier. But sadly 1 day before the Yak-38 & Yak-141 unveiled, his friend, Sydney, passed away. Yak-141 & Yak-38 is actually a love letter to Camm & Hawker Siddeley's Harrier.

At the same time, this aircraft had a huge potential not only on Aircraft Carriers, but also on land, because it does not need a long GDP.

Well there is a misunderstanding here. Yak 41 and Yak 141 are two different planes with 2 different engines. Initially only Yak 41 has been built. Unfortunately it was full success with vertical landing and flying. The problem was that the engine was to week to carry any load except the plane it self. And it was slow - it wasn't supersonic. Then Yak 141 has been born with it's supersonic engine. It also has completely different fuselage.

@@kgb1632 By "given" you mean sold. The thrust vectoring system is actually quite different. The F-35 design is really more like the Convair 200 and the US already had patents dealing with 3 bearing swivel nozzles long before they worked with Yakolev. They also built the Harrier under licence. The fact that Yakolev used three engines (two of which were dead weight in flight) and the F-35 uses one engine and a lift fan, should tell you that they are not that similar and that the F-35 is far from being a copy.

Not quite Real inspiration would be Convair Model 200, the design of VTOL navy jet from 1970s completed with design of 3-section nozzle (so the nozzle design isn't new when Yak-141 came around). US navy want VTOL jet for quite a long time. Yes, LM and Yak had made a deal to furthur F-35 development but by the time the deal came through X-35B VTOL already ready for testing, as we knew the design of new aircraft takes years to desgin so LM did their design long before Yak deal. So other than data to help refined final design of F-35, the fundamental is difference. Nozzle design came from Conviar Model 200, the superior new lift-fan design replaced other lift jet and so on.

Bullshit... Under Stalin the Navy was introducing new ships and modernizing old ones. By 1937 the linear cruisers "Gangut", "Petropavlovsk" and "Sevastopol" were radically modernized. New light cruisers "Kirov", "Voroshilov", "Molotov" and "Maxim Gorky" were built, and also "Krasniy Kavkaz", "Chervona Ukraina" and "Profintern" were modernized. In 1939 the Navy included the fundamentally new high-speed multipurpose leaders of the destroyers "Moscow", "Leningrad", "Tashkent", "Kharkov", "Minsk", "Tbilisi" and "Baku".

Cooperation with Lockheed Following the announcement by the CIS in September 1991 that it could no longer fund development of the Yak-41M, Yakovlev entered into discussions with several foreign partners who could help fund the program. Lockheed Corporation, which was in the process of developing the X-35 for the US Joint Strike Fighter program, stepped forward, and with their assistance aircraft 48-2 was displayed at the Farnborough Airshow in September 1992. Yakovlev announced that they had reached an agreement with Lockheed for funds of $385 to $400 million for three new prototypes and an additional static test aircraft to test improvements in design and avionics. Planned modifications for the proposed Yak-41M included an increase in STOL weight to 21,500 kg (47,400 lb). One of the prototypes would have been a dual-control trainer. Though no longer flyable, both 48-2 and 48-3 were exhibited at the 1993 Moscow airshow. The partnership began in late 1991, though it was not publicly revealed by Yakovlev until 6 September 1992, and was not revealed by Lockheed until June 1994.[9]

[@AA-xo9uw]

Paraphrasing wackypedia puts your credibility in the commode. The date of the filing for the Lockheed/Bevilaqua/Shumpert JSF patent was May 1990 and Yak never did deliver the four additional aircraft that they accepted the money for, did they?

That is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. They, other than being superficially a similar size are not really alike. Firstly, the F-35 is stealthy and is run by a supercomputer. The Yak is about as stealthy as a brick and not much smarter. Even the lift fan or how they hover are different. Not many who know would call these planes similar, let alone call a Russia Yak a Russian F-35. Not at all similar.

[@wadopotato33]

@@georgedvorak9481 They aren't the same. The lift fan design was patented in 1960's and the F-35 shares more with the Convair 200 and other planes than it does with a Yakolev. Even the lift fans and how they work are very different. What you are saying is often said, but that doesn't make it any truer. It is a dumb idea.

I saw an interview with the designers of the YAK company. They said that they had sold to the Americans, among other things, the development of an aircraft with one engine for flight and for vertical ascent into the air. And the Americans used this option.

Small mistake in the first seconds. Unlike the F-35, it couldn't go afterburner in VTOL mode.

[@Kruglik_Igor]

What the hell is afterburner in VTOL mode?! The Yak-41 takes off vertically with a full combat load. Or maybe from a shortened run-up. And its afterburner, in this mode, works like the f-35, which cannot take off vertically, but only from a run-up.

That is false. They aren't the same. The US F-35 has one engine. The Yak had three. The US held patents on 3 bearing swivel designs going back to the 1960's. The real forefather of the F-35 is the Convair 200, not the Yakolev. Sorry, you are wrong.

@@wadopotato33I don’t know what part of “base” do you not understand. No one had made the idea of a after burning VTOL capable possible. The United States bought a prototype of one of the remaining Yak-41 left. 2 decades later revealing the F-35.

Arghh. "Yukolev"? Have you tried to read this name properly at all?

[@martinbayliss3868]

The all vectored thrust Pegasus concept still trikes me as the best solution. The Yak 141 and f35 both have the same problem - complexity and dead weight of the lift engines/fan. The Harrier has had 60 years of operational experience with the supposed issue of hot gas reingestion not limiting the aircraft in any way operationally. Lockheed with their huge marketing department have tried to make it a fact but nearly 30 years after first flight of the x35 the basic problem with the f35b remains and it has not achieved anything like the operational success and flexibility of the Harrier and probably never will. The Yak-141 separate lift engine/fan is the wrong solution for a high performance combat jet. The Boeing x36 used the vectored thrust concept but blew it because they insisted on the weird nose intake and monolithic wing design. British Aerospace who were working with Boeing had a concept supersonic VSTOL concept in the early 1990s that used two conventional side intakes and a more conventional wing/stabiliser layout together with the triposter vectored trust engine the x36 had - and it was a great looking aircraft and in my view would have beaten the x35 hands down if the British had been listened to. It is almost as if Boeing never really wanted to win the x35/x36 competition in hindsight. One day perhaps someone will do the obvious and have another go at a supersonic vectored thrust (i.e. Pegasus like engine) combat jet and this time continue on from where the Harrier successfully left off. A case of the wrong people having the right idea. The British actually developed the Pegasus from a French concept apparently - so if the British can swallow their pride why can't the Yanks. If the Pegasus had been a US lead project the stealth VSTOL fighter of today would beyond doubt be vectored thrust not separate lift fan based.

[@AA-xo9uw]

"The all vectored thrust Pegasus concept still trikes me as the best solution."(sic) A common belief of those who have never personally had to deal with the effects of the hot gas ingesting compressor stalls that the Pegasus is notorious for. By the way, the Yak didn't utilize a lift fan but you have a duly noted aversion to facts.

The rotating duct nozzle had already been demonstrated in a Rolls Royce MTU engine for the German VJ 101D. There is even one in a museum display. Rolls-Royce/MAN Turbo RB.153. You can find images but it has to be for the "E" version VJ 101E. It was also on the twin engine VJ 101E. I believe an American Convair 200 design also used it. It was not a Russian invention. Lockheed-Martin used Yakolov as a consultancy to take advantage of their experience thereby making sure there were no surprises.
