Heavy transport UAV "Partizan" took off for the first time

23

Siberian Aviation Research Institute named after S.A. Chaplygina conducted the first flight tests of the TVS-2MS Partizan heavy transport drone with ultra-short take-off and landing. The first flight of the aircraft took place in manned mode under the control of test pilot Vladimir Barsuk.

The Partizan multi-purpose UAV with optional piloting capability spent 20 minutes in the air, flying, among other things, at an ultra-low speed for an aircraft of 50 km/h. According to the Research Institute named after. S.A. Chaplygin, the involvement of a pilot in the first flight of the TVS-2MS was necessary to ensure the safety of the test and recording of flight data.




The development of a new analogue of the legendary An-2 “corn truck” has become known is known in mid-2021. “Partizan” is a sesquiplane designed to transport cargo weighing up to 1 ton over a distance of up to 1 thousand kilometers. A distinctive feature of the aircraft are 8 additional electric motors located on the lower wing. Thanks to this technical solution, the aircraft is capable of taking off from an area measuring 50 by 50 meters.

TVS-2M “Partizan” will find application in many fields of activity. In an unmanned version, it will be able to participate in rescue operations, deliver cargo to hard-to-reach areas and be used for aerial chemical work. The manned version will become an alternative to helicopters on passenger airlines in remote regions of Russia.

As a result of the work, we will receive a universal aircraft with the possibility of optional piloting. Thanks to the presence of an automatic control system, both fully autonomous cargo transportation in autonomous mode and passenger transportation in manned mode can be organized.

    They fiddled with it for a long time, again, probably, the BUREAUCRATS made a fuss, how could it be without THEM.

    Well, buy me! It seems that the plant doesn’t know where to attach this hundred-year-old gravitas to which they wanted to attach an American engine. Now, at least take it somewhere, don’t let the twenty years of work of a whole team of corn grower developers and modernizers go to waste.

      They never appreciated the main thing about Partizan - a runway of 50 meters, which completely replaces a HELICOPTER, which is many times more expensive, both in operation and cost. Here, an investor with a “sense of smell”, having somewhat modernized into mass production, can “cut off the oxygen” to many helicopter companies in the sector up to 1 ton.. But it is more likely that it will end in nothing, because our “business managers” are more accustomed to stealing and sawing business Only a small part is capable of their ability to create, and not in aviation (the results are visible for decades).

        "business managers"

        Well, more likely paid managers from the government. This new product has not been launched for a long time, either in passenger or cargo versions, although the design of the aircraft is promising. Priority was given to Baikal, which was already supposed to fly, but it looks like it won’t be there in 2024. Unless there is a rich businessman, the new product will have to make its way for a long time in different guises.

    It’s surprising that the Belarusians haven’t yet released their own version of the maize plant. But they will be able to do it, just like their own people's car for rural areas.

    This is good, the drone is not burdened with emotions, accumulated fatigue, just fly and fly. It’s a pity that it won’t be in the national economy.

    Wah!
    In the photo and video it looks like it was made in a plywood barn. Completely lacking in money, not even enough for painting?
    This is a good idea for a small-scale rescue courier. Right.
    For a real plane - too many engines, lower efficiency, something will break.....
    And the UAV is only for the courier, for the rescuer it’s somehow scary...

      This is a test of the new Airbus A350-900 airliner. There wasn't enough for painting either?


      Your stupid trolling goes beyond all limits.

        you write that out of envy
        But I admit - you are right.
        Aircraft tests - the Internet is full of photos - are almost always on unpainted airplanes.
        here - in the photo/video - you can see inconsistencies, seams, cracks, breaks, “ala plywood” joints - which just looks like mismatched coloring.
        True, this doesn’t change the essence much, because... These planes have already been demonstrated flying with good paint.

    If the country needed such an aircraft, the country would have adopted a national project to create and produce this aircraft.
    And so, everything is as always. Hope for Ivanushka as a sponsor.
    If it burns out, that’s good; if the project fails, the losses are small and you won’t have to answer.

      There is still hope for Ivanushka - a sponsor or a fool, it is not yet clear. Only one thing is clear - we definitely won’t expect anything from Vovochka and Dimochka.

        Probably yes.
        If we take into account how much a passenger car costs today, then such an aircraft in production and operation without state support cannot become profitable a priori.

      A similar aircraft is being prepared for production. The production plant is being completed, and the board itself has already completed all tests and has been accepted for production; by the end of 2024, the first boards should come off the assembly line.
      The one in the photo, with an American engine, was also tested, but something went wrong and it has not yet been accepted. Therefore, the development company decided to make it at the same time as a drone, plus installing additional electric motors on the wings for safe landing in case of failure of the main engine or problems with the fuel system. Maybe they will bring it to fruition and it will also go into production, both as a manned and unmanned version. But for now it is at the testing stage. Therefore, you need to wait until they are completed and then only judge this aircraft. So far all the talk on this board is empty.

        The end of 2024, I’ve already heard something similar somewhere. The key word is end. The only thing an ordinary citizen can expect at the end of the year is a bonus.

    Finally. So I understand that Baikal has been completely closed? Why two aircraft of the same type?

    How is this UAV different from a regular airplane?
    Correctly speaking - an airplane that can fly as a UAV.
    And the cockpit for the pilot - this project will increase the cost, won’t it?

      Yes, I thought it was strange too. Perhaps the creators are not confident in the reliability of the self-piloting system and decided to play it safe. If the UAV fails, then with a slight movement of the hand the trousers turn into...)

        It turned out that this is how they FOUND a use for the An-2 (for an airplane it is outdated, but for a drone, apparently, it’s just right).
        Although why it is not outdated and how it is a UAV is unclear to me...

    The main thing that pleases us is that our aircraft manufacturers are trying to get something into the air with elements of their intelligence. The more attempts there are, the greater the likelihood of their success.
