AIRCRAFT FOR SALE

Sukhoi & Yak - The world's best sporting aircraft

As world leaders in Russian aircraft and engines, we offer a wide range of aircraft products and services.  The principal of these are:

  • New Sukhoi Su-29/Su-31 aircraft. We remain the sole worldwide agent for these superb aircraft, but recent problems have meant that production of new aircraft is extremely slow and new aircraft are taking two to three years to manufacture.  Despite this there is a huge demand for these aircraft, which we are attempting to satisfy by purchasing used aircraft; and overhauling/modifying them as might be required by customers.

  • We also offer second hand Sukhoi aircraft. Occasionally, these include fully factory remanufactured aircraft - the equivalent of new ones in every respect.

  • We are the undoubted world leaders in Yak-18T aircraft, having now sold twenty-four of these aircraft to many countries, including most European countries; Australia; South Africa; USA.  In particular we have developed a wide range of modifications, which genuinely transform an already extremely versatile and capable aircraft into the one of quite extraordinary performance.  

  • We also overhaul Yak- 18T/-50/-52/-55 aircraft.

  • In terms of engines we are exclusive worldwide agents for both the Vedeneyev Design Bureau, the designers of the magnificent M14P family of engines and also for the Voronezh Mechanical Plant, the production unit where all such engines have been made.

  • We have developed the more powerful M14PF (400hp) engine, as well as the M14R (450hp).

  • We are now selling the M9F from the Voronezh Machine Plant, which gives 460hp in fuel injected form.

  • Spare parts - we have the largest stock of spare parts for Yakovlev, Sukhoi and Vedeneyev products in the world - current value approximately US$750,000.

SUKHOI - World Aerobatic Champion

SU26 PK-SDM 1.jpg (24882 bytes) SU26 PK-SDM 2.jpg (32288 bytes)

The Sukhoi range of aerobatic aircraft was originally designed before the break-up of the Soviet Union and was designed absolutely without regard to cost. This means that their technology is significantly ahead of any Western competitor, as for example :

  • Hot cured carbon-fibre main spars, for no heat sensitivity (i.e. you can paint the aircraft any colour) as well as a kevlar outer covering.
  • Titanium rather than steel in areas such as exhaust; battery box; firewall; undercarriage; wing-ribs, etc.
  • Forged magnesium for control linkages, whereas Western competitors tend to use welded steel, etc.
  • The use of the superb Vedeneyev nine cylinder geared, supercharged engine - the most powerful aerobatic engine in the world.

Certainly the Sukhois are the most successful of the world's aerobatic aircraft and, in terms of quality of construction, pleasure of flying, as well as incredible value, there really is no competition.

Sukhoi wins World Aerobatic Championship yet again!

Sukhoi was again the dominant aircraft at the 2007 World Aerobatic Championships, held at Granada, Spain.  Outright winner was Ramon Alonso of Spain flying an Su-31 and outright womens World Champion, Svetlana Kapanina, in an Su-26.  Importantly Ramon was using our new M14R 450hp engine and Zach Heffley, of the USA, despite only a few days of practice in an Su-26, which we had totally rebuilt and restored, won the overall freestyle - the most demanding sequence - using the first privately owned M9F engine. Finally Sukhois came 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and 6th overall.

STOP PRESS:  January 2008

We are pleased to announce that we have purchased the five Sukhoi aircraft from the Red Bull Aerobatic Team.  These are four Su-29 two- seaters and one of the rare Su-31 single-seater.

Although new Sukhoi aerobatic aircraft are no longer being manufactured, they are still World and European Aerobatic Champions and there continues to be huge demand for these aircraft.  We meet some of this requirement by selling previously-owned aircraft from existing customers, but this is only four/five aircraft a year and does not meet the demand!  Also we are finding that the values of good Sukhois is increasing very steadily on both sides of the Atlantic, possibly because pilots recognise that Sukhois are the most wonderful aerobatic aircraft, whether for serious competition, displays or just for enjoyment.  Given the limited numbers of aircraft available and the extraordinary quality of the engineering, we assume that the values will continue to increase.

We originally supplied these five aircraft, and have continued to oversee their maintenance programme over the last few years. All are relatively low-time and have been maintained without regard to expense.  However from the requirement that we perceive for ‘new’ Sukhois, our intention is to restore each aeroplane to ‘factory-new’ condition.  This will involve the aircraft being disassembled to the last component; the bare fuselages will be stripped of all paint; and carefully magnaflux tested.  All composite components (wings, tail, etc) will be ultrasonically tested for any de-bonding or other problems, which would be rectified.

At the same time the aircraft will be modified to the latest Type Standard; fitted with reinforced wing mount brackets and will embody all existing Service Bulletins.  This work will give  new ‘lifetimes’ which is the legal requirement in some countries, but an excellent guarantee of quality even where it might not be needed.

The entire aircraft will then be painted in colours to suit the customer’s choice, beginning with the bare fuselage tubes, but also including the interior and of course the exterior.  This will include individual items within the engine compartment, such as engine mounts; oil tank; oil pocket etc, all of which will be finished to new aircraft standard.

The entire wiring system will be carefully checked, as will be the fuel; air; pneumatic and oil systems, before being reinstated on the aircraft.

Naturally all wearing components in terms of engine/prop/control bearings/engine mounts/rudder cables/brakes/tyres/batteries, etc etc, will all be replaced with new.  Instruments will be recalibrated, as will avionics.  In terms of avionics all the aircraft are well equipped, but at the time of remanufacture, additional or replacement avionics can be installed. 

In essence purchasers will have the same flexibility of options as they would have were they purchasing a new Sukhoi. 

In terms of existing extras, all aircraft already have long-range fuel and factory-fitted smoke systems.  

The Su-29 has already been granted EASA ‘Permits to Fly’, valid in all European countries.  Importantly this means that the aircraft can be registered in any European country, but fly with the international EASA document.  It gives considerable flexibility over maintenance, and the aircraft can effectively fly without any restrictions.  Of course we could export the aircraft outside Europe in which case we would not obtain EASA Certification.

Our intention is to overhaul all the aircraft as above but would consider before the work is done and obviously at a lower price, but would be happy to discuss any proposal.

We expect the first aircraft to be ready in July  2008, but we are happy to agree purchase contract and detailed specifications in advance and agree on a schedule of payments with potential purchasers.

Please contact us for further details

Other 29s - we are hopeful to conclude a contract to purchase six ex-military Su-29s .  They are typically higher-time than most civilian Sukhois, but immaculately maintained to military standards.

YAKS

Yakovlev was the leading light aircraft designer in Soviet times, producing a range of superb aircraft, all with the heritage of Second World War Yak-3's and -9's - considered by many to be the best fighters of the war.

Current stock is as follows:

Yak-7B (2-seat)

The last ‘new production’ Yak fighter

All pictures taken during final assembly at the Orenburg factory

The State Aircraft Factory in Orenburg , Russia was the manufacturer of many Yak fighters during World War II.  More recently they have manufactured a series of ‘new production’ aircraft, which have been designed by Yakovlev Design Bureau to incorporate better steels and to accommodate the well proven Allison engine. 

Some 24 aircraft were made, which have, for commercial reasons only, been referred to as  Yak-3 for single seaters and Yak-9 for what has been an extremely cramped 2-seater.  However the last aircraft made by Orenburg before production ceased was a Yak-7B – mechanically identical to the Yak-9 but incorporating a full second seat cabin. 

This is the only one made; there will not be another since all aircraft production at Orenburg has ceased, and it is available now. 

The aircraft was ordered by a Russian multi-millionaire, who was keen to have a 2-seat Russian fighter aircraft in which he could be flown, but having taken delivery of the aircraft he did not complete the items that Orenburg did not do and the aircraft was never finally assembled.

So what we are offering is the only new production Orenburg Yak figher to full Yak-7B specification.  That is as a front-line fighter but with a rear cockpit.

The aircraft is brand new; never even fully assembled and is being delivered, like all Orenburg Yaks, as absolutely complete, with the exception of:

  • Allison V-1710 engine

  • Hamilton-standard propeller

  • Avionics

  • Battery

  • Oil coolers (standard Antonov 2/DC-3 cylinder type)

  • Fabric on the control surfaces

  • External painting

Conversely it is complete down to spinner; exhaust-stubs; full cooling system with radiator; flying and other instruments; all controls; all fuel system; all wiring system and electrical system; complete undercarriage and pneumatic system.

The prices that have been achieved for these ‘new production’ Orenburg Yaks has been increasing very significantly and not only does this represent an opportunity to purchase the last aircraft made, but it is absolutely new, and requires relatively little expense to complete.

European prices for the last Yak-3/Yak-9 aircraft sold have been in excess of Euro 450,000.  

We are only asking Euro 220,000 for this unique example.

Price is for the aircraft ‘as-is’; disassembled and in an international packing crate and delivered anywhere in the world.

Yak-7B Project

An extremely exciting ‘warbird’ opportunity that is already well advanced and which will produce one of the most desirable and rarest World War II fighters in the world.

 

 

This is a TOTAL restoration being done to the highest possible standards of an original Yak-7B. It is NOT a ‘new production’ aircraft (fine though they might be), but a restoration of a Russian Air Force Yak-7B, which crashed in 1943.  The aircraft’s history is known, and although clearly damaged the condition is reasonable.  In addition we have a complete second aircraft, and two further Klimov engines. 

The original aircraft serial no 33153120 was a ‘high-back’ 7B and it is being restored as such.  From the point of view of historical accuracy we would prefer that the aircraft continues as a high-back, but clearly a purchaser would have the opportunity to change it to ‘low-back’ 7B if preferred.

For information line drawings of both types are shown below:

                                    High Back:                                                                                       Low Back:

Currently the entire fuselage has been completed and most of the tail-plane.  Clearly significant amounts of work remain, but we feel a 5-year programme from the date of purchase is realistic.  This obviously includes the total restoration of an M105 Klimov engine and propeller.

We would ask for a deposit and then stage payments on a formally agreed basis.  We would be delighted to discuss all aspects of this project with all seriously interested parties.

Yak-9                                      SOLD TO GERMANY

The Yak-9 was arguably the best fighter of World War II, being very powerful, manoeuvrable and fast.  It was made in substantial quantities (17,000 plus) but under Soviet regulations, all but a handful were broken up after the war and into the early fifties.

The Orenburg Factory was one of the original manufacturing units for the Yak-9, and worked in cooperation with the Yakovlev Design Bureau to produce 21 ‘continuation’ aircraft using the original drawings/jigs/tooling, but with upgraded materials, and also, for practicality, incorporating Allison V-1710 engines, typically of 1,250 hp.

These aircraft have been sold in the USA ; South Africa ; Australia ; France and Germany , and have performed extremely well – even racing with some success at the Reno Air Races.  The last aircraft made was sold by ourselves to Chris Bellhouse, and at the time of writing (September 2007) is about to get its UK Permit to Fly.

The aircraft above, which we are now offering, is unusual in that the project began with an original Yak-9, shot down during the war, which was taken to Orenburg Factory, where it was totally restored alongside the new production aircraft. Indeed the vast majority of all components used were new and from the ‘continuation’ series of aircraft, although a certain number came from the original aircraft, where they were checked and found to be in airworthy condition.

The result is therefore an aircraft with an original wartime serial number and today the only such aeroplane flying.  On the other hand it is effectively a new aircraft and built to the highest standards.

The aircraft has a NEW Allison, being a late series engine, which was then sent to Bud Wheeler , probably the leading expert in Allison’s, who, although it had never been used, apart from factory testing, stripped it down to incorporate the latest modifications such as chrome cylinders; new technology supercharger seals; the latest type of piston rings etc etc, before reassembling and dynamometer testing. 

The engine did 11 hours ‘bedding in’ in a Yak-3 before installation into the Yak-9 and has done a total of 26.5 hours since new.  The condition, mechanically and cosmetically is absolutely superb.

The propeller is a brand new Hamilton Standard, and airframe and propeller have only done 15.5 hours from new.

Equipment includes:

  • Long-range (950 litres) of fuel

  • Up rated engine – 1450 hp

  • Rear seat and dual controls

  • Garmin 430 GPS/COM and Becker transponder

This aircraft is eligible to obtain a UK Permit to Fly, or can be shipped to almost any country world-wide. It is one of the highest performing aircraft in the World, and at a fraction of the price of anything comparable, and of course, effectively new.  

 SOLD TO GERMANY

Yak-3

We expect to be purchasing a single-seat Yak-3, again a 'continuation production' aircraft from Orenburg.  Lovely condition.

We also have Harvard T6G for sale - click here for details

Yak-18A

Now one of the rarest of all Yaks, and particularly desirable since, although an earlier aeroplane than the 52, has a number of advantages including: considerably lower weight particularly when all the radio equipment is removed; cleaner and therefore faster; less emphasis on out and out 'inverted' aerobatics and therefore more pleasant to fly in less serious flying. Performance with the 260hp engine is very much the same as a 52 with a 360hp and with the 360hp the 18A is considerably enhanced. With the wisdom of the Soviet Union planners, the vast majority of 18As were melted down and very few are left. This one is currently undergoing a TOTAL restoration to 'as-new' condition - every component has been disassembled, inspected etc - a full range of photographs are available. Euro 65,000 (and will doubtless be worth much more in the future!), following total restoration, but in standard specification and excluding any ‘extras’.  (European VAT/sales tax not included.)

Yak-18T

In 2006 we acquired six 18Ts from the National Flight Academy of Kazakhstan.  All the aircraft required total restoration, which is a significant undertaking to bring them to ‘as new’ condition.  In fact all will be a lot better than ‘as new’, simply because we are able to incorporate a wide range of improvements and modifications rather than absolutely standard ‘Russian specification’ with which all aircraft were manufactured.  Two aircraft have been delivered; the next two are sold and being worked on currently and the final two will be available for delivery in early 2008.  For all aircraft the work will include: zero-timed engines and propellers; total mechanical overhaul; new engine mounts / tyres / brakes etc; instruments overhauled; new Ceconite; paint scheme to the buyers choice etc.  In addition the aircraft can be modified with a wide selection of "extras".  Price, totally restored but to standard specification, including delivery to Western Europe, checkout etc Euro 89,000.  Additional cost to place on the Hungarian registers Euro 5,000.

One of the aircraft delivered in late 2005 to a UK customer.

  • It is currently located in Lithuania , where all the work has just been completed.

Price Euro 60,000 (Excluding European VAT)

Yak-52

We bought three of the early (and sought after) 'flush riveted' 52s.  The first seventy or so Yak-52 were 'flush-riveted' with a totally smooth skin.  This stopped when production volumes increased and it was decided that this method of manufacture was simply too expensive.  These aircraft are rather faster (10kph) and also roll a little quicker.  The first aircraft has gone for conversion  to Yak-52TD specification for an Australian customer; the second  is available either completed or as a 'project' aircraft.  We therefore have one awaiting total restoration to 'as new' condition or we would consider selling it 'as is'.

Yak-54

The Yak-54 is an outstanding unlimited-level aerobatic aircraft. It is all metal; but to the highest standards and is capable of 90/95% of the performance of the composite Sukhoi Su-29, but at some 60% of the price!  We are offering 4 immaculate examples that have been operated as a team for the last 3 years and impeccably maintained.  All are relatively low-time and well equipped.

SM-2000

This all new aircraft, but based on the fuselage of the Yak-18T, gives turbine performance and reliability at a fraction of the cost of anything comparable in the World.  Full certification was obtained in December 2004, and we are now in a position to discuss details with prospective purchasers.   Price from Euro 470,000 dependant on specification, avionics etc.

All prices are delivered Western Europe, but are "excluding local taxes".

L-39 Albatross Jet

Recent L-39s that are being released from the Air Force of the Ukraine have been at quite exceptional prices, which benefit we are able to pass on to our customers.

Cosmetic condition is literally ‘as is,’ and the aircraft have not been used for a number of years.  However our procedure is to take the aircraft into the Air Force maintenance facilities; check undercarriages; retraction systems; canopy pressurisation and conditioning; fuel tank integrity  etc etc.  Although not flown, this does mean that the mechanical condition of the aircraft is excellent.

Currently we are able to sell aircraft having gone through this programme, and any defective parts replaced from about US$115,000 (Euro 81,500) and up to US$140,000 Euro 99,300) for aircraft with exceptional times on all major components. (Prices include disassembly and packing into a shipping container in the Ukraine.)

All prices are less taxes where applicable but are 'fly away' UK and all aircraft are guaranteed and fully supported by our spares and service programme.

Vedeneyev engines

We are the world exclusive agents for the Vedeneyev Design Bureaux and for the Voronezh Machine Plant, as such, can offer a range of new and '0' timed engines from both UK and Russian stocks.  In particular we sell the M14PF, and the yet more powerful M9F (435hp engine), which are used by most of the world's leading Sukhoi pilots. which is used by most leading Russian and European Sukhoi pilots.  

Vedeneyev (OKBM) went into a Russian equivalent of 'Chapter 11' in 2005.  It was however then bought by FK Systems, a major Russian public company, during 2006.  They have refinanced the company; brought in new machinery and facilities and production restarted in early 2007.  We have already received a number of excellent quality engines from 'new Vedeneyev' and can offer these from stock.

In addition we are the sole representative for the Voronezh Mechanical Plant which has produced many thousands of the M14 series engines and is resuming production, of both the M9F engine (435hp) and the M14P (360hp).  VMP is a well funded and substantial company, and we are confident of its ability to produce both engines and Vedeneyev spare parts (which of late have become difficult to find) for the future.

An important point is that the Russian Ministry of Transport have ordered 60 new Yak-18T aircraft for which VMP have been contracted to supply engines, plus a large amount of spare engines and spare parts.  This is good news in that it guarantees the availability of spare parts well into the future.

The 2007 World Aerobatic Championships were dominated by Sukhoi and also by the higher powered engines, for which we are sole agents.  The World Championship was won by Ramon Alonso in his M14R - equipped Su-31, while 3rd and 4th places were to Russian team Su-26 aircraft, equipped with the M9F engine.  In addition Zach Heffley, of the USA, despite only a few days of practice in an Su-26, which we had totally rebuilt and restored, won the overall freestyle - the most demanding sequence - using the first privately owned M9F engine.
