Farnborough 1992: A Rare Sighting of the Yak-38M Forerunner in Yellow 38 This photograph captures the detail of the rear fuselage and port exhaust nozzle of the Yak-38M Forerunner, registration Yellow 38, during the 1992 Farnborough International Airshow. The Yak-38M, a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) jet, was a significant development in Russian Naval Aviation (Aviatsiya Voenno-morskovo Flota Rossii) as it was the first production variant of the Yak-38, a multirole fighter designed primarily for the Soviet Navy. The Yak-38M was a versatile aircraft, capable of both fixed-wing and rotary-wing flight modes, making it an essential asset for the Russian Navy. Its lift/cruise engines, visible in this image, were a key feature that enabled the Yak-38M to achieve short takeoffs and vertical landings. The engines were a significant improvement over the earlier Yak-36, providing more thrust and better efficiency. The 1990s marked a pivotal period in the history of Russian Naval Aviation, as the Soviet Union was undergoing significant changes, and the Yak-38M was a testament to the innovation and progress being made in the field. This photograph, taken at the Farnborough Airshow in 1992, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the Yak-38M's impressive design and capabilities.
