The Yakovlev Yak-44 was a proposed twin turboprop Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft, resembling the United States Navy's E-2 Hawkeye, and 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 mock-up with foldable wings was built.

  • In the 1980´s the Soviet Union started development of a new aircraft carrier class for the Soviet Navy, called Project 1143.7 (later Kusnetsov class). A never finished carrier called "Ulyanovsk" was designed to be equipped with new fighter aircraft and AWACS aircraft similar to the American E-2C Hawkeye. At least one mock-up of the Yak-44 was build. The project was cancelled in 1991, after financial problems because of the Soviet Union´s collapse. The Kamov Ka-31 AEW helicopter was used as a cheaper compromise solution.

abstract
  • In the 1980´s the Soviet Union started development of a new aircraft carrier class for the Soviet Navy, called Project 1143.7 (later Kusnetsov class). A never finished carrier called "Ulyanovsk" was designed to be equipped with new fighter aircraft and AWACS aircraft similar to the American E-2C Hawkeye. Yakovlev OKB received a contract to developed the Yakovlev Yak-44 aircraft. The high-winged aircraft was powered by two Ivtshenko Progress D-27 turboprop engines with a power of 10,300 kW. It had contra-rotating (eight-bladed on the front, six-bladed behind) propellers. Above the aircraft´s fuselage was a large rotodyme. At least one mock-up of the Yak-44 was build. The project was cancelled in 1991, after financial problems because of the Soviet Union´s collapse. The Kamov Ka-31 AEW helicopter was used as a cheaper compromise solution.
