Čaj Jakovljev Jak-50 (Russian: Яковлев Як-50) aerobatic aircraft is a single-seat all-metal low-wing monoplane with retractable main wheels and exposed tail wheel. The control surfaces are fabric-covered to save weight. The aircraft is not equipped with flaps. The supercharged engine may be the Vedeneyev M14P (standard production line version), M14PF or M14R, producing between 360 and 450 hp and driving the propeller via a reduction gearbox. The landing gear, brakes and engine starter are operated by compressed air. Replenished by an engine-driven compressor, the main and emergency air bottles are contained within the forward fuselage between the firewall and fuel tanks.

Čaj Jakovljev Jak-50 is a single-seat aerobatic aircraft that was developed by the Soviet manufacturer Yakovlev in the 1970s. It is a low-wing monoplane with a metal fuselage and fabric-covered control surfaces. It has a retractable main landing gear and a fixed tail wheel. The Yak-50 is powered by a radial piston engine that drives a two-bladed propeller. The engine can be either the Vedeneyev M-14P, M-14PF or M-14R, producing between 360 and 450 horsepower.
Jak-50 je projektovan kao trener i aerobatički avion za DOSAAF, sovjetsku paravojnu vazduhoplovnu organizaciju. Prvi put je leteo 25. Jak-50 se pokazao kao uspešan aerobatički avion, osvojivši dva svetska šampionata 1976. Takođe je bila vojni trener nekoliko zemalja, uključujući Litvaniju, Rusiju i Ukrajinu.
Čaj Yak-50 has excellent handling characteristics and a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing it to perform complex maneuvers and unlimited aerobatics. However, it also has some drawbacks, such as high fuel consumption, limited range and endurance, and structural fatigue due to the high stresses imposed on the airframe. Some Yak-50s suffered from wing spar failures, resulting in fatal accidents. The Yak-50 was eventually replaced by more advanced aerobatic aircraft, such as the Yak-55 and the Su-26.
Danas je samo oko 90 Jak-50 i dalje vazdušno sposobno i u vlasništvu su privatnih pilota i kolekcionara u raznim zemljama. Jak-50 se i dalje smatra jednim od najboljih aerobatičkih aviona svoje ere i klasičnim primerom sovjetskog vazduhoplovnog inženjeringa.
