He designed it to displace the sooner Yakovlev UT-2 and Yak-5 operating using the Soviet Air Force and DOSAAF(Voluntary community for Collaboration with all the Army, Air Force and Navy, which sponsored aero clubs through the USSR). The latest aircraft flew a year later on powered by a Shvetsov M-11 five-cylinder radial motor and featuring a retractable tailwheel landing gear.
