Fotogalerij van een Jak-15, The Yakovlev Yak-15 (Russian: Яковлев Як-15; NATO reporting name: Feather, USAF/DOD designation Type 2) was a first-generation Soviet turbojet fighter developed by the Yakovlev design bureau (OKB) immediately after World War II. It used a reverse-engineered German Junkers Jumo 004 engine. Along with the Swedish Saab 21R, it was one of only two jets to be successfully converted from a piston-powered aircraft and enter production. 280 aircraft were built in 1947. Although nominally a fighter, it was mainly used to qualify piston-engine-experienced pilots to fly jets.

De Jak-15 was a jet fighter developed by the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II. It was based on the Yakovlev Yak-3, a successful piston-engined fighter, but with a German Jumo 004 engine mounted under the nose. The Yak-15 was the first Soviet jet fighter to enter service and production, and it helped to train many pilots for the new era of jet aviation. However, it was also a transitional design that had many limitations and drawbacks.
Het had een kort bereik, lage snelheid, slechte manoeuvreerbaarheid en zwakke bewapening. Het had ook last van oververhittingsproblemen en structurele storingen als gevolg van de hitte van de straaluitlaat. De Jak-15 werd al snel vervangen door meer geavanceerde straaljagers, zoals de Jak-17 en de MiG-15, maar het blijft een belangrijke mijlpaal in de geschiedenis van de Sovjetluchtvaart.
