News

It became known about the first flight of the newest IL-112В

In late March - early April, the new IL-112B will go on its first flight

The TASS news agency, citing a source in the military-industrial complex, reports that the Il-112V military transport aircraft will make its maiden flight in March - early April. It was planned that it will take place in January, but there were difficulties with the rotors of the engines. These problems have now been resolved.

Another source, the Voronezh Aircraft Company, informs that the preparation for the first flight of the new aircraft is carried out seven days a week and literally around the clock. Experts check all systems, run engines, run high-speed runs of the car on the runway.

The first flight of the Il-112V will go together with the An-26 aircraft. The task of the latter is, following a parallel course, to verify the operation of various systems of the new aircraft.

IL-112V will replace the An-26 and An-24 aircraft used in military transport aviation. The resource of these machines in the near future will be completely exhausted.

The aircraft will transport military personnel, military equipment, various types of weapons and other goods. The aircraft is capable of transporting cargo weighing 5 tons. The range of its flight is 5 thousands of kilometers. A special advantage - IL-112В can land and take off from unpaved runways. Preliminary application of the Russian Ministry of Defense - 62 new aircraft.

I remember that at first the first flight was planned on 2006 year (!). Already 12 years promise. Let's see what's up with the next announcement. Good luck
