The Technoavia SM-94 family emerged in the early 1990s as a six-passenger adaptation of the Yakovlev Yak-18T, featuring modernized avionics and enhanced aerodynamic design elements.
Design and development
Key modifications to the Technoavia SM-94 series, beyond the expanded fuselage to accommodate more occupants, included the introduction of all-metal wings and tail surfaces redesigned with a more angular profile. Additionally, it incorporated a three-blade propeller, enlarged fuel tanks, and replaced the original multi-pane windshield with a two-piece design.
Operational history

In 1997, the SM94-1 prototype (RA-44486) was presented at the MAKS event in Moscow, although plans for mass production were later suspended due to financial difficulties.
The SM-94 evolved into the SM-2000 series, with the prototype SM-2000P first taking flight on 21 March 2002 and subsequently displayed at MAKS '03.
The designation SM-2000P distinguishes this model from the further advanced SM-2000 turboprop variant, which became a distinct version. Since 2006, no additional developments have been reported.
