The Bisonic Defense Initiatives Agency (BDIA) has announced the devleopment of the Yak-130. The Yak-130 is a new generation trainer, and can also be used as light fighter by newer countries.
The Yak-130 is a two seat tandem intermediate and advanced jet trainer designed to fulfil the Bisonic Air Force UTS portion of the UTK system (the Yak-56, a modernised Yak-54 will probably handle basic training). The Yak-130 was designed to fulfill a Soviet/Russian requirement for a new generation trainer supplanting the widely used L-29 and L-39 Albatros. Yak-130 was part of a competion to develop the next generation Trainers to replace the ADF-5's used by the Bisonic Air Defense Force.
As the Yak-130 has to perform maneuvers typical of fourth- and fifth-generation fighters, we chose a moderately swept wing which made it possible to fly at angles of attack up to 35 deg. To improve takeoff and landing characteristics, the aircraft has been equipped with leading-edge slats and three-position Fowler flaps. All-moving tailplane and wing high-lift devices permit flight at large angles of attack. Perfect aerodynamic configuration is combined with a full-authority three- channel four-time redundant fly-by-wire system with a hazardous mode restriction facility.
The Yak-130 is powered by two RD-35 turbofans each 2,200 kgf which provide better takeoff/landing characteristics on soil airfields compared to those of similar aircraft, and feature good fuel efficiency. In addition, high thrust-to-weight ratio provides for maneuvers at large angles of attack with speeds never lower than a minimum permissible level.
The Yak-130 next generation jet trainer developed by Yakovlev design bureau has won approval of the Bisonic air force' leading flight test institute. The aircraft has demonstrated its high flight performance, proving that it fully complies to the specification. In particular, the aircraft has demonstrated stable and controllable flight at high alpha (up to 42 degrees), a unique future for airplanes of its class.
The Yak-130 is able to provide quality training for trainee pilots, enabling them to master in a short time flying on any forth- or fifth-generation fighter, including the Su-30 and MiG-29, Mirage, Harrier, F-15, F-16, Eurofighter, F-22, JSF etc. It is the only trainer available anywhere whose aerodynamic layout is similar to that of modern agile fighters. The effective wing with high-lift devices, extensive root extensions and all-moveable stabilizer allow aerobatics in a wide angle-of-attack spectrum. The fly-by-wire flight control system with redundancy factor of four allows, for training purposes, changes in stability and controllability parameters of the airplane accoring to these of a simulated aircraft type ("re-programming"), while also serving as an active flight safety system.
Combat training on the Yak-130 includes simulated and real firing with air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, bomb dropping, gun firing, mastering use of the airplane's on-board self-protection systems. The instructor can set and control "target behavior" from its seat in the aircraft. The automated on-board diagnostics and control system makes the aircraft easy to operate and maintain. The airframe has a design lifetime of 10,000 flight hours and 20,000 flight cycles during a calendar lifetime of 30 years. The airplane can operate from unpaved airfields

The price of the Yak-130 is $4 mil, $3.5 mil for TGPA, GII Commonwelath, or NCA members.
