The MiG-AT is more conventional than the competing Yak-130. It has a low-set, straight wing, engines mounted on either side of the fuselage and a mid-mounted tail. Two prototypes have been built, with orders hoped to exceed 1,200 by the manufacturer. The first flight took place between March 16 and 22 1996 in Zhukovsky and lasted seven minutes. Up to 20 were built or started production by September, 1996

The MiG-AT trainer embodies a number of in-principle novelties. Namely, this trainer aircraft, first in Russia and in the whole world, is equipped with a digital three-channel four-fold redundant fly-by-wire system of national design. This new system is a vital element for the set-up of contemporary training system which makes possible to vary the aircraft controllability characteristics, thus simulating the flight behavior of agile fighter and heavy ground attack aircraft. Consequently, one type of trainer can be used for training the pilots of different aircraft classes and makes possible to significantly reduce the cost of military and civil pilots training
