The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia during the 1960s. The Albatros, as the most widely used jet trainer in the world, is versatile in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.

Our model features a precise composite fiberglass fuselage, painted in matte finish to achieve the most realistic appearance possible. Scale touches include molded wing tanks and authentic markings. The model delivers an incredible attention to detail.

Landings are remarkably easy for a jet. With the use of Flaps, this model is a very stable and easy aircraft to land.

The scale oleo struts help absorb rough landings and prevent bouncing.
Electric retracts, oleo struts and scale wheels are sold separately.

Additional Information
History The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvičný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, more than 2,800 L-39s have served with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training. Design and Development The L-39 (under the name Prototype X-02) first flew on 4 November 1969 and was piloted by Rudolf Duchoň, the factory's test pilot. Serial production began in 1971. The design is Czechoslovak (Czech) – the construction of Aero's chief designer Jan Vlček. The L-39 Albatros is a widely flown trainer/light attack aircraft similar in mission to the Italian MB339. Until now is in service with various former Soviet allies. The low, slightly swept wing has a double-taper planform, 2½-deg dihedral from the roots, a relatively low aspect ratio, and 100 liter (26½ gal US) fuel tanks permanently attached to the wingtips. The trailing edge has double-slotted trailing edge flaps inboard of mass-balanced ailerons; the flaps are separated from the ailerons by small wing fences. The tall, swept vertical tail has an inset rudder. Variable-incidence horizontal stabilizers with inset elevators are mounted at the base of the rudder and over the exhaust nozzle. Side-by-side airbrakes are located under the fuselage ahead of the wing's leading edge. Flaps, landing gear, wheel brakes and air brakes are powered by a hydraulic system. Controls are pushrod-actuated and have electrically powered servo tabs on the ailerons and rudder. Operational g-force limits at 4,200 kg (9,259 lb) are +8/-4 g. A single turbofan engine, an Ivchenko AI-25TL (made in the Soviet Union) is embedded in the fuselage and is fed through shoulder-mounted, semi-circular air intakes (fitted with splitter plates) just behind the cockpit; the engine exhausts below the tailplane. Five rubber bag fuel tanks are located in the fuselage behind the cockpit. The main, trailing-arm landing gear legs retract inward into wing bays; the nose gear retracts forward. A long, pointed nose made of aluminum leads back to the tandem cockpit, in which the student and instructor sit under individual canopies that are hinged on the right. The rear (instructor's) seat is raised slightly; both ejection seats are made by Aero. The basic trainer is not armed, but has two underwing pylons for drop tanks and practice weapons. Light-attack variants have four underwing hardpoints for ground attack stores; the ZA also has an underfuselage gun pod. This model is no longer in production and is replaced by the L-159. Operational History Abkhazia In the spring of 2008, a number of Georgian drones were shot down by Abkhaz separatist or Russian forces. In the first of these occasions, on April 20, 2008. Another was shot down by a Russian MiG-29 over Abkhazia region. The Abkhazian separatist forces claimed that one of its missile-equipped L-39's had downed a Georgian Hermes 450 unmanned reconnaissance drone. Nagorno-Karabakh War L-39s, along with older L-29s,were used extensively in ground attack missions in the Nagorno-Karabakh War by Azeri forces. Several were shot down by Armenian air-defences. Popular Warbird While newer versions are now replacing older L-39s in service, thousands remain in active service as trainers, and many are finding new homes with private owners all over the world. This is particularly evident in the United States, where their $200,000-$300,000 price puts them in range of moderately wealthy pilots looking for a fast, agile personal jet. Their popularity led to a purely L-39 Jet class at the Reno Air Races, though it has since been expanded to include other, similar aircraft. As of mid-March 2006, there are 257 L-39s in the US Federal Aviation register. The first legally registered L-39 private aircraft was successfully flown on a cross country ferry flight in the US on December 9, 1992 with Pilot D. McCue and observer J. Yurick. Several display teams use the L-39 such as The Patriots Jet Team (6 L-39s), the Breitling Jet Team (7 L-39s) and the Heavy Metal Jet Team (4 L-39's). There are also several L-39 available for private jet rides in the United States, Australia, Czech Republic, Germany, France, and Spain. These L-39s are mostly in private hands, but they may also belong to government agencies, such as those in Vyazma, Russia. Source: Wikipedia (01/25/2012)
