Remarks:

Wilco Aviation are pleased to present to the market exclusively this Yakovlev Yak 52 G-BWSV owned and operated privately by its current owner at North Weald airfield for the last 11 years.

The Yakovlev Yak-52 (Russian: Яковлев Як-52) is a Soviet-designed primary trainer aircraft that first took flight in 1976. From 1977 to 1998, it was produced in Romania by Aerostar, known locally as the Iak-52, under manufacturing rights granted through the COMECON socialist trade organisation. Initially developed as an aerobatic trainer for the Soviet DOSAAF training program, the Yak-52 prepared both civilian sport pilots and military aviators. Today, it continues to be used in the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Aerobatic Yak 52 Competition, a prestigious one-design World Aerobatic Championship event.

The Yak-52 is a direct descendant of the single-seat Yakovlev Yak-50, an aerobatic competition aircraft. Built entirely from metal, the Yak-52 is powered by a robust Vedeneyev M14P nine-cylinder radial engine, producing 268 kW (360 hp). Designed to mimic characteristics of early postwar military fighters, the Yak-52 incorporates features such as a tandem cockpit layout, tricycle landing gear, a mixed-construction fuselage (combining monocoque and steel tube structures), and other design elements closely resembling the Yakovlev Yak-17 UTI jet trainer. Even the positioning of access panels, the radio antenna, and the overall dimensions share similarities with the Yak-17 UTI.

Engineered for military training, the Yak-52 boasts a fuel and oil system that allows for up to two minutes of sustained inverted flight. The engine drives a two-bladed, counterclockwise-rotating, variable-pitch propeller made from wood and fibreglass laminate.
