OverviewEdit

The bureau formed in 1934 under aircraft designer Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev as OKB-115 (the design bureau has its own production base at the facility No.115), but dates its birth from 12 May 1927, the day of maiden flight of the AIR-1 aircraft developed withinTemplate:Citation needed the Department of Light Aircraft of GUAP (Head Agency of Aviation Industry) under the supervision of A.S. Yakovlev.

During World War II Yakovlev designed and produced a famed line of fighter aircraft.

Irkut acquired Yakovlev in April 2004.<ref>Irkut Corporation Completes Yakovlev Design Bureau Acquisition Template:Webarchive. defense-aerospace.com, April 22, 2004.</ref> The Russian government merged the holding company with Mikoyan, Ilyushin, Irkut, Sukhoi and Tupolev as a new company named United Aircraft Building Corporation in February 2006.<ref name="nyt_united_aircraft">" Russian Aircraft Industry Seeks Revival Through Merger." The New York Times. February 22, 2006. </ref>

The firm designed the Pchela (Template:Langx, "bee") drone reconnaissance aircraft (first flown in 1990), but is perhaps best known for its highly successful line of World War II-era piston-engined fighter-aircraft.

In August 2023, Irkut Corporation rebranded itself as Yakovlev. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 was redesignated as the SJ-100, and the Irkut MC-21 also adopted the Yakovlev name.<ref name="IrkutYakovlev">Template:Cite news</ref>
