Yakovlev Yak-18T — Russian Aircraft Technical Library

The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a rugged, four-seat Soviet training aircraft powered by the Vedeneyev M-14P nine-cylinder air-cooled radial engine producing 360 hp. Designed as an ab-initio trainer for Aeroflot pilots, the Yak-18T combines a robust pneumatic systems architecture with genuine aerobatic capability — certified for structural loads of +6.4 G / −3.2 G at an aerobatic gross weight of 1,510 kg. Its complex radial powerplant, high-pressure pneumatic landing gear and brake system, and demanding weight-management requirements make primary-source documentation essential for any serious researcher, restorer, or simulator developer.

This collection assembles 15 primary-source Russian factory and regulatory documents — the most comprehensive Yak-18T archival library available in digital form. Spanning flight operations, maintenance schedules, technical instructions, and powerplant documentation, it covers the full operational and maintenance envelope of the aircraft and its M-14P engine.
