The Yakovlev Yak-44 was a proposed twin-turboprop Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft, resembling the United States Navy's E-2 Hawkeye, intended for use with the Soviet Navy's Ulyanovsk class supercarriers. Along with the aircraft carrier it would have flown from, the Yak-44 was cancelled after the demise of the Soviet Union. A full-scale mockup with foldable wings was built.
Sole Yak-44 mockup.
Yak-44E compared to the U.S. NAVY E-2D Hawkeye
CREDITS:
Rafalemmm as this was their build
Pilotmario because I used the rotodome off their E-2 Hawkeye
All the gauges are in Russian
Air to air refueling
Controls:
Ag.1 starts the No.1 engine
Ag.2 starts the No.2 engine
Ag.3 operates the navigation lights
Ag.4 operates the arresta hook
Ag.5 folds and unfolds the wings plus rotates the rotodome
Ag.6-8 are unused
Controls are also in the instructions
Known Bugs:
The plane hovers at the front when you use the catapult and adjusting the catapult connector doesn't seem to help
It veers left during takeoff but not that bad.

Hey y'all if you put this code into the input of the rotator on the rotodome it'll rotate as soon as you retract the landing gear instead of after opening the wings.
