The Yakovlev Yak-32 (NATO reporting name Mantis) was a single-seat version of the Yakovlev Yak-30 (1960), and was claimed by the OKB to be the world's first sporting aircraft with an ejection seat. This version was designated as Yak-104PS. Neither the Yak-30 or the Yak-32 entered production.〔Gunston 1997〕 ==Design and development== Developed concurrently with the Yak-30, the Yak-32 was a single-seat aircraft designed as both a sporting jet, and a light military ground attack aircraft.〔 The airframe of the Yak-32 was that of the Yak-30, but modified to include only a single seat.〔Gunston, 1997〕 Yakovlev had intended to market the aircraft as a sporting jet at a time when no other single-seat jet aircraft was being market for civilian use. In fact, it would not be until the introduction of the jet version of the Bede BD-5 in the 1970s that another sport aircraft like the Yak-32 was offered. Even in the 21st century single-seat sporting jets are rarely offered by manufacturers. The light attack version of the Yak-32 was designated as Yak-32Sh, and was planned to include more sophisticated avionics than the Yak-32. It could also carry external fuel and weapons loads, including a ZB-500 or ZB-360 external fuel tank, bombs of up to 500 kg, up to four rocket launchers (the largest being the UB-32/S-5), up to four K-13/R-3S missiles, four ARS-240 rockets, or four AOI-9 or UKP-23 gun pods, each with 250 rounds.〔 On 5 August 1971, one of the Yak-32 was ordered to be equipped with RU19P-300 which has been modified to permit longer inverted flight. The aircraft received the designation Yak-32P. Flight evaluation of the aircraft was just as good as the original Yak-32. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yakovlev Yak-32」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
