In Russia successfully tested Yak-40 composite wing

In Russia, we tested the Yak-40 composite wing.

Despite the fact that the planes Yak-40 not produced for over 35 years, at the moment there is a clear interest in using them, and therefore, Russian scientists have decided to improve the configuration of the aircraft, completing its construction using composite materials.

As part of the conducted test any shortcomings have been identified, at the same time before the end of this year, experts are going to test the aircraft with a fully composite fuselage, and although at the moment we are about the return of the legendary Yak-40 yet does not go, there is an assumption that it can be a help for the emergence of a new generation in Russia of such aircraft.

And this is good! Replace trim on composites, engines, avionics. Aircraft will not - yum.

Finally I remembered the shot in the locker. As I pulled into the interior of this wonderful aircraft! Tuck to start goskerosinom and local airlines simply come to life!

Perhaps part of the wing replaced the composite, but not completely all of the wing. I believe it. All wings are made of a composite and test - is possible only if the aircraft is serially produced and Commercial Bank is upgrading its products. Otherwise, not really.

Yak-40, worthy of modification. Plaque 18 000 hours.
