}}Aeroprakt Ltd. (Аэропракт) is a Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer based in Kiev and founded in 1991 by Yuri Yakovlev. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of light aircraft, homebuilt aircraft and ultralights in the form of kits for amateur construction and ready-to-fly aircraft.[1][2][3][4]

The company is a "Товариство з обмеженою відповідальністю" a form of limited liability company. It has about 50 employees and operates from a {{convert|2000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} facility.[1][5][6]

History

The company was founded as an amateur aircraft design club by Yuri Yakovlev when he graduated from the Kuybyshev Aviation Institute and commenced work at Antonov in Kiev in 1986. It was at the time of Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 that the company was formally formed.[4]

The company was named after a similar-named club in Kuybyshev, Russia, founded while Yakovlev was there at school.[4]

The company's first aircraft was the Aeroprakt T-8, a simple two-seat ultralight trainer. The prototype was constructed in 1987 and first shown in the Soviet Union in 1989, but did not enter series production, despite winning awards.[4]

The first true production aircraft was the Aeroprakt A-20 Vista known locally as the Chervonets, the first prototype of which was finished in August 1991. As a result of the design and the political situation at the time, the club became the Kiev division of Lada-Mononor, a joint Soviet-Finnish venture that was headquartered in Tolyatti, Russia. Yuri Yakovlev was named the Chief Designer and Oleg Litovchenko became its director. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the company became an independent entity and the A-20 entered production, with the first production aircraft delivered in July, 1993.[4]

November 1996 saw the introduction of the A-22 Foxbat, known locally as the Sharik ({{lang-en|Balloon}}) and the twin-engined A-26 Vulcan as well.[1][2][3][4]

The company has continued to develop new aircraft based on the A-20 concept, including the A-28 Victor and the A-36 Vulcan. In 2014 the A-32 Vixxen, a development of the A-22, was introduced.[1][2][3][4][7]
