Developed into Yakovlev AIR-6

The Yakovlev AIR-5 was a prototype Soviet single-engined cabin monoplane designed by the Yakovlev design bureau.[1] The AIR-5 was a high-wing strut-braced monoplane with a 200 hp (149 kW) Wright J-4 Whirlwind engine.[1] It had a tubular steel fuselage, wooden wings and an enclosed cabin for a pilot and three passengers.[2]

When the Whirlwind engine became unavailable no further aircraft were produced and a smaller variant was designed with a locally produced M-11 radial engine and designated the AIR-6.[2]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
