Yak-110 is a one-of-a-kind twin-fuselage “acrobat”
The unusual technique was obtained by “merging” two Yak-55s. Their fuselages were not simply connected like a catamaran. To ensure that the new aircraft had unique thrust characteristics, a turbojet engine was attached to the wing center section. The result was an extremely unusual symbiosis - two Vedeneev M14P propeller engines and a General Electric J85 jet engine.


An unusual solution came to the minds of two friends: pilot Jeff Burbun and mechanic Dell Koller. Despite the fact that they did not have a single Yak-45 at their disposal, the enthusiasts were not at all upset. The cars were provided by a private individual - Chad Barty and the Boerboon company. History is silent about what arguments Jeff and Chad provided them, but only two years passed from the idea to its implementation. Having invented the Yak-110 in 2016, already in 2018 the model was presented at the Gunfighter Skies air show, which was held in Idaho.

A video blogger from the DrBear Aviation channel became interested in the story - he came to watch the team prepare for the next air show - Airshows Downunder Shellharbour. The event was successfully held last weekend at Shellharbour Airport (New South Wales, Australia). We were not able to attend the air show itself, but thanks to the interest of DrBear Aviation, we got the opportunity to take a closer look at the unique model and its capabilities. See what this unusual machine can do in flight in this video.
