Mikoyan MiG-AT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-AT is a Russian trainer aircraft that first flew in 1996, selected to replace Aero L-29 and L-39 for the Russian Air Force. While "AT" stands for "advanced trainer", this is only in English.
[edit] Design
The MiG-AT is more conventional than the competing Yak-130. It has a low-set, straight wing, engines mounted on either side of the fuselage and a mid-mounted tail. Two prototypes have been built, with orders hoped to exceed 1,200 by the manufacturer. The first flight took place between March 16 and 22 1996 in Zhukovsky and lasted seven minutes. Up to 20 were built or started production by September, 1996.
The MiG-ATF has French engines, and is also being developed in cooperation with the South-Korean Daewoo.
