The Yakovlev Yak-40 is a Soviet three-engine airliner designed for STOL and use on short, unpaved airstrips. It was used primarily for civilian use, but some military variants existed.

VTOL up for flaps

Notes

I absolutely love this aircraft, and it has very realistic performance and looks. I had a lot of fun buttering the bread with this, and I hope you will too. Unlike the real thing, it doesn't have the center thrust reverser, but that's ok.
