Yakovlev Yak-50 was an early experimental turbojet interceptor aircraft designed in 1948 by the Yakovlev OKB in USSR. The aircraft was essentially a stretched version of the Yakovlev Yak-30 (1948) with a more powerful engine and greater sweep to the wings. The Yak-50 is perhaps most significant as the first Yakovlev aircraft equipped with the velosipednoye (bicycle) landing gear a trademark of later Yakovlev designs.
