The Yakovlev Yak-23 (in Russian Як-23, USAF/DoD reporting name Type 28), NATO reporting nameFlora) was an early Sovietjetfighter with a straight wing. It was developed from the Yak-17 in the late 1940s and used a reverse-engineered copy of a British engine. It was not built in large numbers as it was inferior in performance to the swept-wingMikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15. Many Yak-23s were exported to the Warsaw Pact nations and remained in service for most of the 1950s, although some were still in use a decade later.
