The new Russian "maize" will become even better
In Russia, work continues on the new TVS-2DTS cargo-passenger aircraft, which is being prepared to replace the An-2, one of the most common Soviet and Russian multi-purpose aircraft.
Andrey Boginsky, General Director of Russian Helicopters Holding, said that TVS-2DTS will have several new features that distinguish it from the old man An-2. Firstly, he will be able to sit on an unequipped site or a dirt strip, and secondly - to sit on snow or ice and even on a water surface.
The FA project (turboprop aircraft) is being implemented as part of the State Program for the Development of Small Aviation in Russia. The development is carried out by specialists of the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation named after S. A. Chaplygin, located in Novosibirsk. SibNIA them. S.A. Chaplygina is one of the largest research and testing centers in the aircraft industry in the Russian Federation.
TVS-2DTS is a modification of the An-2, in which the ASh-62IR piston engine will be replaced with turboprop engines. In addition, TVS-2DTS has an all-composite carbon fiber construction. The aircraft has completely upgraded the cockpit. Modern control systems make TVS-2DTS absolutely all-weather aircraft. You can fly on it at any time of the day and in almost any weather.
The first experimental flight on TVS-2DTS took place on July 10, 2017 at the Yeltsovka experimental aerodrome in Novosibirsk. Six days after the first test flight, the aircraft made a non-stop flight from Novosibirsk to Zhukovsky, Moscow Region, where it took part in the MAKS-2017 air show.
Technologydeveloped at SibNIA, will soon launch mass production of TVS-2DTS. Aircraft will be manufactured in small aircraft factories with a staff of 70-80 people. In the period 2019-2020. It is planned to produce 25-30 aircraft of this model per year. From 2021 to 2025 it is planned to produce about 200 such aircraft. The first customer was also found - in April 2018, a contract for the purchase of 200 aircraft with the Yakutia aviation company should be signed. For difficult weather conditions in the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia, TVS-2DTS is the most suitable aircraft. The aircraft will be able to deliver about 2 tons of cargo at a distance of 2,5 thousand kilometers. It is also very relevant for the vast expanses of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East. The opportunity to land on snow and ice, announced by the head of the holding on March 23, will be simply invaluable to residents of the northern regions.
The problems of transport communication with the northern regions of our country have always been very acute, so we can only welcome the project of Novosibirsk scientists and engineers and hope that the timing of its launch in mass production will not be delayed and new and very efficient aircraft will fly to Russia soon.
