The press service of the S.V. Ilyushin Aviation Complex reports that the company's specialists completed the final painting of the first prototype IL-114-300.

As follows from the message, the unique livery of the aircraft will be used during the upcoming test and certification flights.

According to the director of the IL-114 program Maxim Kuzmenko, the coloring of the aircraft will help the company determine the appearance and composition of the coatings to be used on the serial IL-114-300.

It is extremely important for us that the coating has special protective properties, high weather resistance, strength, elasticity

- he specified.


The IL-114-300 passenger aircraft will be operated on local airlines. A feature of the assembly of the aircraft is its full localization at domestic airlines.

Recall that the S.V. Ilyushin Aviation Complex is the parent company of the UAC Transport Aviation Division.

Previously we wrote that according to the statement of the head of the UAC, Yuri Slyusar, the coming year 2020 will be the year of premiere in domestic aircraft construction: in addition to the Il-114-300, the Il-96-400 is expected to depart and the MS-21 is tested with the Russian PD-14 engine.

    And the engine is American! Few sanctions, still serve! Or is it on purpose so that later Americans can sell for cheap?

      Bullshit, on the 300th stands TV7-117C, it was on the 100th Whitney, especially for Uzbeks. The customer steers what he asks, then we deliver.

    A beautiful plane, with "Ilyushin" family traits in appearance! good
    And the coloring - "livery" for testing is also laconic, "airy" emphasizing the lines of the fuselage and tail, visually "concealing" the engines in the general silhouette of the airliner - I like it, it will look solemnly "aristocratic" at the airfield and in the air!
    Although, I suppose, this "livery" is only "basic", because each operating airline wants to give its cars a recognizable "brand" or even a completely individual "flavor" ?! winked
    Passenger "Ilys" have always been famous for their reliability - I hope that the Il-114-300 will confirm and continue this "family" reputation!
    Let the number of landings always be equal to the number of take-offs - good luck, IL-114-300, I am very happy about the success of Russian aircraft manufacturers! good

    This is much better than purchasing Franco-Canadian ATR-72, which are structurally prone to icing ... and jobs must be created in the Russian Federation, and not abroad.

      Apparently, it is intended for operation in countries with a temperate and hot climate, although it is also used in Canada, and the climate there is the same as ours ....

      Yes, and jobs need to be created in the Russian Federation, and not abroad

      Definitely. But not only, but even primarily in expanding the acquisition of competence for the construction of such aircraft (medium-haul passenger / cargo with the absence of enemy components), for it (together with the Il-112, although this is a different class of machines), separate production sites should be allocated for assembly, because in case of financial deterioration (bankruptcy) ANTONOV RF should occupy its niche in the market not only of the RF, but also of the CIS countries ...
      Competitors in the market for such machines in terms of price and quality will be the Chinese, not the Ukrainians ....

    In the field of international civil aviation in the near future a new regional Chinese aircraft Xian Modern Ark 700 (MA700)which can make a serious competition Russian IL-114-300.
    Work on the design of the MA700 was started by Chinese aircraft manufacturers in 2007 year.
    The development of IL-114 family aircraft began back in 80s last century.
    At the moment, the domestic IL-114-300 is slightly inferior to the Chinese MA700 in its technical characteristics. Will "catch up"?
