The production of IL-112 aircraft will be a priority for the Voronezh Aircraft Plant. This was announced by the General Director of PJSC "Il" Yuri Grudinin.

IL-112 becomes a priority for the Russian aircraft industry




This decision was made by the leadership of Ilyushin in connection with the high demand for the aforementioned light aircraft. Not only the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, but also several civilian airlines are interested in acquiring this transport carrier today. Thus, VASO designers are simultaneously engaged in both the manufacture of models for civil aviation and the assembly of aircraft, which fully comply with the standards of the military department.

Last year, the IL-112 was prepared for the first flight. In addition, the engineers collected a sample for static tests, which are currently being conducted at TsAGI. The only problem with the new aircraft, which was mentioned earlier, is its excessive weight.

However, as Grudinin emphasized, specialists are already engaged in its solution, which consists in redesigning using composites. It is assumed that lightweight aluminum-lithium alloys will be used in the design of the aircraft.

As for the advantages of the Russian light transporter, it is equipped with the latest TV7-117ST turboprop engine and has the ability to take off / land on an unprepared landing site. In addition, the aircraft consists entirely of domestic parts, which makes it independent of foreign component suppliers.

Recall that the IL-112 should replace the obsolete An-26. With a maximum load of 5 tons, the transporter is able to cover a distance of 1200 km. The demonstration of the new device can take place at the end of August as part of the MAKS-2019 air show.

      So far, this is only an official letter of appeal from the director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “National Research Center named after NOT. Zhukovsky »Andrei Dutov to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov. He wants to use research areas (which, in his opinion, are idle) to house a museum with an aviation exhibition in order to demonstrate and popularize the domestic aircraft industry. But, as they say, wanting is not harmful.)

    Most of the enterprises that produce strategic products (and aircraft (as well as components for the production of SUCH technology) are strategic goods) need to be transferred, and urgently, to the mainstream of government. That's just to put at the head of such enterprises need those who DO NOT Bring the plant and design bureau to bankruptcy. That is, you need to create a system of PERSONAL responsibility to the country - the leadership (up to the court with confiscation) for their activities as the head of such an enterprise.
    Here it is necessary to solve the problem of the production of spare parts and accessories for the electronics industry, the automobile (as it sounds strange), the production of ship-ships, and indeed in almost any direction (including food) ...

    Up to the court with confiscation.

    As GDP said -

    Now is not 37 years old. We will not punish anyone for the collapse and theft.

    This was said live about the issue of Serdyukov. And in Voronezh, the take-off was dismantled at the aircraft factory and its repair will last 2 years. T.K. there are no orders because of this, young specialists are leaving en masse from there. And the plant itself, as always, is almost bankrupt.
    But this plane cannot be launched into the air for 3 years. The maximum that they achieved that took off. And the cargo and passengers are replaced by ballast in the tail, so as not to turn over. Initially, the project is dead, now another 5 years money launder. Then, maybe a new project will be done.

    To the author of the article: designers do not build aircraft and make models. At the MAX IL-112 will not be shown, this has already been said.
    Andrey Gvozdev: repair of the strip at VASO will end in October - November 2019. And not after 2 years.
