The aircraft's twin engines are mounted under extended wing roots, which reach as far forward as the windscreen. Originally the AI-25 engine was selected, but this was later changed to the Klimov-modified RD-35M rated at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs) thrust each. Yakovlev Yak-130 Wallpaper 2. The export version or future variants can be fitted with the L'yulka Saturn Al-55 engine if chosen by the buyer. The airframe is part metal, but with extensive use of composites, giving it a projected lifespan of 15,000 hours and 25,000 landings. The wing's delta shape has a 31 degree taper on the leading edge. All flight control surfaces are fully powered. Internal fuel capacity is 2,060 litres (454 gallons), with an optional 700 litre (154 gallon) conforming belly tank. The undercarriage uses Yakovlev's trademark low-pressure tires for operations from unpaved runways. The steerable nosewheel retracts backward, while the main units retract into the engine duct fairings. The large canopies are sideways hinged, and there is a large, curved forward windscreen. The cockpit is pressurized, and both positions have two (in export versions three) multi-function displays, along with a heads-up display (HUD) for navigation and weapons aiming. Both seats are equipped with Zvezda K-36 zero/zero altitude ejection seats. A wide range of weapons can be carried on the aircraft's seven external pylons, including guided missiles and gun pods.

Combat training suite on the Yak-130 includes simulated and real firing systems with air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, bomb dropping, gun firing and on-board self-protection systems. The instructor can set and control "target behavior" from his seat in the aircraft. It has an automated on-board diagnostics and control system which makes the aircraft easy to operate and maintain. It has an improved airframe with a design lifetime of 10,000 flight hours and 20,000 flight cycles during a calendar lifetime of 30 years and can operate from unpaved airfields. The Yak-130 is the first Russian aircraft to have all digital avionics. The Yak-130 has an air-conditioned and pressurised two-seat all-glass tandem cockpit. The first Yak-130s entered Russian Air Force service in July 2009. However, deliveries have been slow. On 29 May 2010, one aircraft crashed near Lipetsk during testing (both pilots ejected). As of January 2012, it is believed that only eight aircraft are operational in their advanced jet trainer role. The first export orders were signed in 2006, when Algeria ordered 16 Yak-130s and Libya put an order for 6 planes. In August 2009 the first trainer assembled for Algerian Air Force performed its maiden flight. 3 YaKs were in delivered November 2011, 13 are still remaining to be delivered. Deliveries to Libya were expected in 2011-2012, but the Libyan National Transitional Council cancelled Libya's order for Yak-130s in September 2011 as part of a review of all existing arms contracts. Syria has agreed to purchase 36 aircraft. The Uruguayan air force is considering the aircraft for the future replacement of the A-37, while Russia has offered the Yak-130 to Serbia as part of a US$3 billion loan for the upgrading of the Serbian armed forces.
