## About This Content
The Yakovlev Yak-52 is a tandem seat, radial engine, trainer aircraft that
served as the primary aircraft trainer for the Soviet Union and many other
nations. Introduced in 1979, the Yak-52 has been a popular choice among air
forces given its rugged construction, ease of handling, tricycle landing gear,
and simple maintenance. These same characteristic have made it a popular
civilian aerobatics aircraft in its later years. The Yak-52 is powered by a
single Vedeneyev M-14P, nine-cylinder radial piston engine with 360
horsepower. We have created a new radial piston engine simulation from the
ground up with a highly-realistic engine cooling model. The aircraft is very
response given an empty weight of just one ton and large controls surfaces.
Capable of pulling over 7 G and pushing up to negative 5 G, it’s no wonder the
Yak-52 has been popular with aerobatic teams around the world. The DCS: Yak-52
provides a realistic pilot training progression from the Yak-52, to the L-39C
jet trainer, to modern fighters like the MiG-29 and Su-27.
Note: This purchase can only be played from DCS World Steam Edition and cannot
be transferred to a non-Steam Edition version of DCS World.
