The VNS-41 is the first amphibious microlight aircraft made in Vietnam. The A41 Factory under the Air Force and Air Defence Department manufactured the aircraft based on the Russian Che-22 Korvet design by Boris Chernov and E. Yungerov. A Che-22 was acquired by Vietnam in the late 1990s and from the Philippines. Technicians began developing the VNS-41 in June or July 2003. On 12 September 2004, the prototype performed its maiden flight with test pilot Nguyễn Duy Lê at the controls.
