As the ageing ChuJiao-6 no longer meets the PLAAF’s requirements for pilot training, Nanchang Hongdu Aircraft Industry Group began to develop a second generation basic trainer aircraft in 2006. The development of the new trainer will be carried out jointly by Hongdu and Russian A.S.Yakovlev Design Bureau JSC. Known as Yak-152K in its Russian designation, the new trainer will be based on the design of the Yakovlev Yak-152 basic trainer, but with some modifications specified by the PLAAF. As well as serving as a military trainer, the aircraft could also be used for the training of civil aviation pilots.

当老化的初教-6型不再符合中国空军（PLAAF）飞行员培训需求，在2006年南昌洪都飞机工业集团开始发展第二代初级教练机。新的教练机的发展由洪都公司和俄国雅科夫列夫设计局（A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau JSC）联合进行。即它的俄国命名雅可-152K，新是教练机将会以雅可-152初级教练机的设计为基础，但是同时按PLAAF规定进行一些修改。除了充当一种军用教练机，飞机也可以用于民用航空飞行员的训练。

The PLAAF began to search for a successor to its forty-year-old CJ-6 basic trainer as early as 1993. However, little progress was made throughout the 1990s as acquisition of fighter and attack aircraft was given higher priority in the allocation of PLAAF’s budgets. The theoretical evaluation of the next generation basic trainer was completed by the PLAAF and Hongdu in 2003. At the same time, Hongdu began to approach Yakovlev Design Bureau, Russian’s main military trainer designer, to explore the opportunity of a joint development and production.

早在1993年PLAAF开始去寻找它服役四十年之久的CJ-6初级教练机的替代者。然而，在整个九十年代期间获得小的进展这由于战斗机和攻击机在PLAAF预算中给予较高的优先权。下一代初级教练机的理论评估在2003年被PLAAF和洪都公司完成了。同时，洪都公司开始接洽雅科夫列夫设计局，俄国的主要军用教练机设计者，探究联合发展和制造的机会。

Yakovlev proposed to Hongdu  the Yak-152K, an improved variant of its Yak-152 basic trainer originally developed for the Russian Air Force in the late 1990s. Hongdu evaluated the Yak-152K design in March 2004 and concluded that the aircraft could meet all PLAAF requirements. The two companies agreed to form a 50:50 partnership to develop the Yak-152K. The development tasks and costs will be shared equally between the two companies, with Yakovlev mainly responsible for the design, development, and testing of the aircraft, and Hongdu the manufacturer of the prototype. Two assembly lines will be built in China and Russia respectively.

雅科夫列夫设计局向洪都公司提议雅可-152K，起初在1990年后期为俄国空军发展的雅可-152初级教练机的一个改进型。洪都公司在2004年3月评估了雅可-152K设计而且得出结论飞机可以符合PLAAF全部需求。二家公司同意以50:50形式合伙发展雅可-152K。发展工作和费用将会在二家公司之间相等地分担，雅科夫列夫主要负责飞机的设计、发展和测试，而洪都公司制造原型。将会分别地在中国和俄国建设二条装配线。

The proposed development programme will take about three years, with the detailed design to be completed by late 2006 and the first prototype finished in 2008. The first flight of the aircraft is scheduled in early 2009. Based on the same fuselage and engine design, the Yak-152Ks in service with the PLAAF and Russian Air Force will have different avionics configurations in accordance to each country’s own unique requirements. It is estimated that a total of 300 units will be required by the Chinese domestic market in military and civil sectors. As well as being certified by the Chinese and Russian aviation authorities, the aircraft will also be certified by FAA and JAA so that it can enter the international market.

被提议的发展计划耗时大约三年，并且详细设计在2006年后期之前完成和第一架原型在2008年终完成。飞机的第一次飞行被安排在2009年早期。基于相同的机身和发动机设计，在PLAAF和俄国空军服役的雅可-152K根据各自国家自身独特需求将会有不同航空电子设备配置。一般估计总数为300架单位将会被中国国内市场军队和民用部门中需求。除了被中国和俄国航空主管当局检定，飞机也将会被联邦飞航管理局和联合航空局检定以便它能进入国际市场。

Based on the Yak-152, the Yak-152K is a single-engine, two-seater aircraft with low-mounted wings and a retractable tricycle landing gear arrangement consisting of a nose wheel and two main landing gears. The aircraft is powered by a 360hp air-cooled, four-stroke, petrol (gasoline) piston engine. The aircraft has a tandem cockpit for two pilots, with the pupil in the front seat and the instructor in the rear seat. The aircraft can be flown from either seat. Onboard equipments include radio communications and navigation for the pupil pilot to gain the basic skills of flight control and navigation instruments. The aircraft is also fitted with ejection seats to improve the safety. As well as serving as a military training aircraft, the Yak-152K will also be suitable for primary training and aerobatics in flying schools and clubs.

雅可-152基本型，雅可-152K是一种单发动机、双座位飞机采用下单翼和由一个前轮和二个主起落架所组成的可收放三点起落架。飞机由一台360马力风冷、四冲程汽油活塞发动机提供动力。飞机为两名驾驶员提供串列座舱，前座为学员和后座为教员。飞机从任一座位都能飞行。机载设备包括无线电通信和导航用于学员飞行员获得航空管制和导航仪表的基本技能。飞机也配备弹射座椅去改善安全。除了服役当作一种军用教练机，雅可-152K也将会是适用于飞行训练学校和俱乐部的主要训练和特技飞行。
