The Yakovlev Yak-201 was a planned Russian vertical takeoff and landing stealth fighter/interceptor aircraft for the Russian Navy, as a follow-up to the Yak-141 and Yak-43 aircraft.[1] The design was carried out in the mid-1990s Yakovlev Design Bureau.[2] The project was cancelled and no prototype was built due to a lack of funds and interest by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The design was started on an initiative basis by the Yakovlev bureau officers in the mid-1990s to allow the Russian Navy aircraft carriers to operate state-of-the-art vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.[3]
After the Yak-141 and Yak-43 were developed, the engineers from the Yakovlev Design Bureau proceeded to the Yak-201.
In 1996–1997, the aircraft was offered to the customer, but the project remained unclaimed, primarily for financial reasons, and also due to the lack of certainty of the Russian Ministry of Defense under the LFI program. No full size mock-up nor prototype were built.[4]
On 23 November 2017, it was reported that Yakovlev would be the designer to build a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to be used on the future Russian aircraft carrier, such as the Project 2300 Shtorm or Project 11430E Lamantin carrier proposals.[5] It may or may not be based on the Yak-201. Yakolvev might built a new vertical takeoff and landing fighter for the two 44,000-ton Project 23900 Ivan Rogov amphibious assault ships currently under construction.[6]
