[citation needed] The Yak-58 is a low-winged monoplane of pusher configuration, powered by a Vedeneyev M14PT radial engine mounted at the rear of the fuselage nacelle, driving a three-bladed propeller.
Rather than conventional tailbooms, the two highly swept fins were mounted directly to the wing, and were joined by the tailplane.
[4] This aircraft was wrecked in a fatal crash at the ILA Berlin Air Show on 27 May 1994,[5] with the second prototype flying on 10 October 1994.
[4] Limited production occurred at Tbilisi, however, due to funding problems and political problems between Georgia and Russia, Yakovlev attempted to restart the project in 2003, possibly with production moved back to Russia.
