The rolling out of the first training aircraft L-39NG took place in the Czech Republic

On Friday, the Czech company Aero Vodochody Aerospace held the ceremony of rolling out the first single-engine jet combat training aircraft (UBS) L-39NG, reports TSAMTO.

L-39NG is developed on the basis of the previously manufactured L-39 UBS using new technologies and equipment. The aircraft is equipped with a virtual onboard training system and a helmet-mounted information display system. The machine is adapted to the training of pilots of combat vehicles of the fourth and fifth generations.

The aircraft is fitted with a modern FJ44-4M engine from Williams International, which has 5 weapon suspension points.

The pre-production assembly line L-39NG was opened at the enterprise at the beginning of the current year. The first and fourth aircraft will be used for flight tests. The second and third - for fatigue testing and static testing. The first flight must be completed before the end of 2018. The full-scale production of UBS is planned to begin with the 2022 year - 16 units per year.

The company's analysts estimate that over the next 15 years, all countries in the world with an air force will need about 3 thousands of jet training aircraft. According to the most modest forecasts, Aero Vodochody will have about 5 percent of this market, that is, of the order of 150 machines.

Currently, the company's order book is 38 aircraft. Customers include the American company RSW Aviation, SkyTech Europe and the Senegalese military.

And this pepelats is no longer interesting to us. There are training aircraft.

[donavi49]

In this class - 1 engine = no. CP-10 died.

Twin-engine (Yak-130 and if they reanimate MiG-AT) - much more expensive to operate.

And why do we need one engine, we have all the combat aircraft 2-or 4-engine.

[donavi49]

L39 is the foundation of training aircraft today.

The 1 engine is cheaper than the 2. At the same time - it gives in fact the same skills and a touch. That is, passing the basic flight course. Only cheaper than on the Yak130.

If so, then hundreds of Yak-152 purchased for training - and how many diesel engine combat aircraft in operation?

L-39, unlike the Yak-130, can not simulate the flight of any of our fighter or bomber, and the actions of the pilot, especially in an emergency in a single-engine and twin-engine, are different. And in order to be cheaper and not to spend extra money at the beginning of your studies, you correctly noticed that they will use the Yak-152.

diesel engine propeller aircraft

Do we have aviation diesels? I thought that they also import imports on UAVs .. Austria, for example ..

[Slinqshot]

He was never interesting to us. Purchased to support the pants "brothers in arms".

[Kasym]

L-39 was produced under 3 units. and were in 000 countries. By the way, it still flies in many countries, in the Russian Federation under 40 units left.

The funny thing is that you are ABSOLUTELY right !!! At that moment in the USSR there was a plane (Yak-30, it seems), which in all respects was superior to the "Elk" !!!
BUT! In order to support "our smaller brothers" (they DIDN'T EVALUATE it later!), It was decided (at the "Politburo" level) to buy Czech cars .... But in vain !!!!!

[ANCIENT]

competitor to YAKU 130 and the Italian, based on it I don’t remember exactly what they call him

[donavi49]

Not. Yak-130 and Italian are another niche. The sides themselves are more expensive and more expensive to operate. Any T-50 and other UBS with bells and whistles are even more expensive.

This L-39NG is climbing into the bums - where there is just a lot of demand. The same ancient Hawk still lives. But it will be really difficult for them to compete with the main giant of this market K8. Czechs can’t squeeze out a price of less than 10 lyam - and K8 = 10 lyamov is the biggest stuffing, and so the price tag from 6,8-7,2 (from Pakistan or PRC assembly) begins.

[mvg]

and so the price tag from 6,8-7,2 (from Pakistan or PRC assembly) begins

The Yak-130 and M-346 have a price tag in the region of 20-25 million evergreens, and if the radar is also stuck in a titanium cabin, there will be a bit of used F-16. Expensive pleasure, to maintain the pants Yakovlev Design Bureau ..

[Yujanin]

There are 5 weapon suspension points.

I suspect that this is a futile idea. It is possible that as a TCB, these machines will be successful in the post-Soviet space.

So it is, at the expense of UBS, they certainly lied, a typical TCB.

[Sands Careers General]

No, I think the Yak-130 is cheaper and better.

[Kasym]

Hello! And who dared minus slap when the General expressed his opinion, not to clarify ?!
Yak-130 has two engines - it will be more expensive. But when they fly around and all the "childhood diseases" are removed, it will definitely be better. But at the same time, the L-39 is a good machine, through which many generations of pilots have passed.

[Pete mitchell]

Gen., you were mistaken here: starting with two engines and ending with an elementary base - 130 is much more expensive. Cars of just different classes: -130 is a much more advanced machine. -39 will remain L-39: simple, unpretentious, reliable enough, well, and inexpensive. But the possibilities are different, of course.

We must give them their due. Half of Russia learned to fly on their "bees". We have no analogue yet ...

Who needs it now? Almost 2900 of these machines were produced in the USSR, and now if they reach hundreds, then there will already be a record. In the West, there is everything and they don’t need competitors

[mvg]

Who needs it now?

Well, now they are closing, and how many aircraft plants do we have, with the release of finished products at 100 per year / two / three? I don’t think that flying schools are ready to stop working with L-kami, and immediately transfer to the Yak-130, which is three times more expensive and gluttonous.

[Zaurbek]

L-39 NG with American avionics and an American engine ... I don’t know if it will be cheaper!

[mvg]

will it be cheaper!

Donavi wrote the price tag, in the region of 7.8 million. And the Yak costs under 25 million, and the flight hour is much more expensive. A Merikasovskie engines in every way more economical .. and one of all there. It’s better to buy 3 cars than 1 well. Well, the Chinese are also supersonic .. and so very similar to our Italian dash.

[Zaurbek]

A thing that is valuable for an airplane is a curve ... For one of its air forces one, for others it’s different .... Su-35S for its own in the region of $ 40 million, for others-80 million, for China 105 million .... And Yak allows you to cook more deeply pilots and improve existing skills. This is a different level. Niche L-39 in the Russian Federation is empty so far.

[mvg]

Su-35S for its around 40 million dollars, for others-80 million, for China 105 million ...

Not so much. And I have other numbers. And when the buck was worth 100 rubles (2014), then the cost for the Russian Federation was generally $ 17 million. In fact, you can’t measure like that ... After all, the RFP, as it was 30-40 thousand, remained the same ... like the price tag for real estate.
In China, not only planes left, but also 2 sets of engines for them ..
PS: L-39 next generation also has a lot to do .. And the 5th generation imitation, too. And his Russian counterpart died without being born ... with a reverse sweep of the wing.

[Zaurbek]

There are different calculations: for the Russian Federation, the cost of a fighter in its purest form ... training and spare parts go on a different line, but for China or India, this is a plus ... I mean that the Yak130 is not 25 million for us. and L-39 8 million what is the price and what is included in it?

We’ll close the latter now and buy American ones, according to your desire?

[Zaurbek]

Stillborn plane.
The West does not need it, it has its own TCB-Korea, the USA, Italy, Britain, France .... And the consumers of L-39 - the USSR, Syria, Libya, you want and will not sell. Permission to export to the regional committee will not be given.
