Cubana de Aviación S.A.
Cubana de Aviación S.A., commonly known as Cubana, is Cuba’s national and largest airline. Founded in October 1929 by Clement Melville Keys, named Compañía Nacional Cuba de Aviación Curtiss, as a flying school and charter service, it began scheduled services in 1930. Pan Am acquired the airline in May 1932 and later became a private company owned by Cuban investors. However, the communist government nationalised the airline in May 1959.
Yakovlev Yak-40
The Yakovlev Yak-40 is a Soviet Union three-engined regional jet airliner that first flew on October 21, 1966, and entered service in September 1968 with Aeroflot. Able to operate from poorly equipped airports with short unpaved runways in bad weather. It was the first Soviet airliner designed to Western airworthiness requirements, certified by Italy and West Germany.
The design changed little over time; the Yak-40D had two additional fuel tanks and adaptation for multiple roles. The -DTS is a troop carrier-paramedic variant, -K a cargo-passenger, and others as flying laboratories. A number serve as VIP transports. Produced ended in 1978, with 1011 airframes built and exported to 18 countries.
The flight crew consisted of two pilots, a flight engineer, and the passenger cabin seats up to 32. It uses three Ivchenko AI-25 medium-bypass turbofan engines, mounted at the rear of the fuselage, one externally on each side and a third internally, fed via a dorsal air intake through an “S-duct”.
