L-29 Delfin
The L-29 aircraft is a two-seat, single-engine jet aircraft designed for basic and advanced pilot training.
Flight training on this aircraft can be performed from concrete, grass, or sand runways. Takeoffs and landings on compacted snow cover, including partially icy runways, are possible but with increased caution.
The aircraft is equipped with an M-701c500 engine with a radial compressor and a single-stage gas turbine.
The aircraft allows for advanced aerobatic maneuvers, e.g., loops, rolls, spins, stalls, and other VTP elements across the entire speed range, while the aircraft's control, stability, and maneuverability are fully satisfactory during maneuvers. The aircraft recovers easily from a spin. It has sufficient equipment to allow flying day and night in adverse weather conditions.
Good visibility from the cockpit, automatic cabin pressure and temperature control, and instrument layout in the cockpit create sufficiently comfortable conditions for pilot work.
Aircraft maintenance in operation is simple, so both flying and engineering-technical personnel can easily handle it.
The L-29 Delfin is a two-seat jet aircraft with a fixed all-metal construction, mid-wing, and retractable landing gear, designed for pilot training.
Conditions: takeoff from concrete runway, landing flaps extended to 15°, maximum engine RPM
Conditions: dry concrete landing area, intensive braking, flaps extended to 30°
Note: When landing on a grassy area or an area covered with uncompacted snow, the rollout distance is shortened. When landing on a wet or icy surface, the rollout distance is extended because it is not possible to use the brakes to their full extent. The stated takeoff and landing characteristics apply to MSA conditions (p = 760 mmHg, t = 15°C) and no wind. The takeoff and landing characteristics of individual aircraft series are practically indistinguishable.
Maximum speed:
– Aircraft Series 4 and above – 800 km/h (up to 1900 m altitude)
Maximum Mach number:
– Aircraft Series 4 and above – M 0.75 (at 1900 m)
Maximum load factor:
– –4 g to +8 g (all series)
Static ceiling:
– 10,600 m (all series)
Note: The maximum permitted flight altitude is 7000 m. Above this altitude, stable engine operation is not guaranteed.

Max. landing gear extension speed: 290 km/h
Max. flap extension speed: 270 km/h
Max. crosswind during takeoff and landing: 12 m/s
Flight with a single pilot is permitted only from the front cockpit.
Inverted flight:
– Maximum 15 seconds continuously
– Repeated flight possible after 30 seconds of horizontal flight (needed to replenish fuel in the inverted flight tank)
– If oil pressure drops below 1.2 kp/cm² and does not increase in horizontal flight, landing is required within 10 minutes.
