The first Be-200ES built for the Ministry of Defense took off in Taganrog

For the first time, a flight of the first Be-200ES amphibious aircraft built for the Ministry of Defense took place in Taganrog. This was reported by the press service of the United Aircraft Corporation "(UAC).

According to the report, the first Be-200ES for the Ministry of Defense took off from the factory airfield of the Taganrog Scientific and Technical Complex named after G.M. Berieva (TANTK) February 14 this year. The aircraft is declared as "search and rescue" (with fire extinguishing function) and has a tail number "20 yellow". Details of flight tests are not given.

Take-off Be-200ES is the first one built from 2018 for the Ministry of Defense and the seventh production aircraft of this type, taking into account six Be-2016ES built for the Ministry of Emergencies in 2018-200 under a contract with the UAC of May 2011 and one for the Ministry of Emergencies of Azerbaijan.

According to the bmpd blog, this Be-200ES was built as part of the second contract concluded between the Ministry of Defense and the TANKT them. Beriev in 2018 for the supply of marine aviation Navy of three Be-200PS (ES) aircraft, the first of which was to be delivered back in 2019.

The first contract between the Ministry of Defense and the TANKT them. Berieva for the supply of naval aviation of the Navy of six Be-200 amphibious aircraft in 2013, was later terminated by the military department due to a long delay in their construction. Instead of delivering aircraft in 2014-2016, their construction turned into a long-term construction and in 2017 the contract was terminated, and in relation to TANKT them. Beriev was satisfied with the claim for 6,726 billion rubles as an unfulfilled advance payment under this contract.

The maximum take-off mass of the Be-200ЧС aircraft is 42 t, the maximum payload mass (water mass taken in tanks) is 12 t. Flight speed is up to 710 km / h. The maximum flight range is 3600 km. Seaworthiness is the maximum wave height to 1,2 m (3 points). Aircraft calendar resource - 30 years. Patrol speed in search and rescue on water - 300-560 km / h.

The aircraft is capable of transporting up to 50 people with accommodation on side folding seats or 30 people on stretchers.

In Ukrainian, what else. There are none at the moment, although there has been a long talk of import substitution.

"... from the impact on our shoulders, the earth's axis bends! Only our spine is stronger, maybe we won't bend ..." The song of the sailors "Avos" perfectly illustrates the fate of the Be-200 and the persistence of the Aircraft Company. Beriev. while there were no orders for amphibians, they worked on modifications to naval reconnaissance aircraft, repairing aircraft in the ranks and on a series of "A" aircraft (flying radars and a flying laser laboratory). Although the series is small, but saved the production line and waited for the "inspiration" of the MO

The right plane. They did it for a long time ... Either the Ministry of Emergency Situations "changed requests" too often, or the plant delayed ...

Most likely due to engines. Import substitution of engines is a very lengthy process. Both in shipbuilding and in aviation. What engine is being installed now, there is no information yet. (Ukrainian and French, prosecutors banned)

[gurzuf]

It seems that if there was a hitch due to the engine, then the lawsuit would hardly have been imputed.

[Whalebone]

Beautiful, and this coloring is very suitable for him. I suppose it would be nice to have 4 pieces for each fleet, so that at least 1 would be on standby around the clock. And it is strange that they do not supply for export, because there are just no analogues here, this time without exaggeration.

Not up to export. Myself would provide.

The plane is not very massive. For a couple of years, you can provide yourself and foreign buyers.

What kind of export are you talking about !? We cannot provide ourselves with such handsome men for a long time! At the factory, massive reductions are coming! Nobody will work there soon! In our city soon alone .... tutki and taxi drivers will remain!

Well, that’s the answer to Whale Us.

[ENGLISH_MISSILE]

They are cutting back and people are leaving, there’s no work, because the Moscow oblast has banned the assembly of imported engines, but they haven’t yet.

[knn54]

About the export. The Chinese (not yet commercially) have a heavy amphibious aircraft AG600 "Jiaolong". It is capable of collecting 12 tons of water aboard in 20 seconds. It is practically the largest amphibious aircraft in the world. It has four engines.

[donavi49]

It is exported. To Azerbaijan, for example.

It’s just expensive, very expensive. Those who need amphibians make them themselves or pick up small ones. Similarly with firefighters. There are very few countries where the Be-200 can realize itself. But in driving even the ministry a thread of Portugal into a deep minus - it’s easy even with 3-4 your planes.

If there are rivers and fires, then they take the world's most successful fire-engine CL-215 (4900l) and its CL-415 (5900l), and the new generation 515 is in development. Cheaper, cheaper to operate, water is taken from the river heap.

The American company SGAS - seems to have finalized the first batch of 4 cars. But to say that the delivery will take place better in fact. For politics. Everyone can win back. However, they have a fundamentally different approach - they make a Hub, will keep 2 aircraft in the GHG, the rest are in storage in hangars (to varying degrees of readiness according to the regulations). When it burns, they are going to lease a Be-200 with crews and technicians to the state that is burning for denyuzhku. If many states are on fire or heavily, then they will introduce more and more equipment. However, here again the emphasis is on personnel - pilots will have to pay a salary, but you can’t rent a week from a Boeing or a market. For the aircraft is specific.

[Whalebone]

In addition to extinguishing, there is also a rescue function, here the Be-200 should be out of competition, because it is fast and distant. Therefore, countries with developed maritime passenger transport such aircraft are needed. I'm talking about Indonesia, for example. Or the Caribbean.

The ambush is that ships are in distress, often in circumstances where a seaplane cannot land on water.

One in Azeibadzhan, transferred back in 2008 ...
Indonesia - On October 30, 2015, the Indonesian government allocated funds for the acquisition of four Be-200ES.

China - On November 2, 2016, a contract was signed for the supply of two Be-200 amphibious aircraft to China, with an option for another 2 aircraft.

USA USA flag. Seaplane Global Air Services ordered 10 aircraft. Under the terms of the contract, the first two aircraft will be equipped with Ukrainian D-436TP engines, and the rest will be installed in the SaM146 model of Russian-French production. Deliveries of the Be-200 to an American company will begin in 2020-2021.

Chilean flag of Chile (Asesorias CBP Ltda) - 2 planes ordered (although the country had previously wanted to buy 5 planes.

[TAMBU]

What engines did it take off on? The news is not indicated. On banned SaMs or counterfeit 436?

[donavi49]

These are on regular engines of 2013-14 supply, even under the first contract. In fact, this aircraft is also bookmarked in 2013 if that. Just MO tired of waiting and it broke the contract in 17. And now renegotiated using components and touched the first contract.

[TAMBU]

that is, on pre-purchased 436s?
It’s just not clear how and who will serve them ... the resource is certainly not bad, but it will end sooner or later ...

[Ros 56]

Handsome, and will find and save.

As a rescuer, it won’t work, but how a fireman can be good.

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Like a fireman, too big.
He needs too large a straight section for water intake. The Yankees on this burned with their four-engine amphibians. In theory, a large amphibian discharges more water. In practice, small twin engines took water almost near the source of ignition, while large ones had to fly to large reservoirs. And because of greater turnover, small amphibians dumped more water per day.
The second drawback of the size is the large drop height. A trifle walked literally through the tops of trees. And large airplanes over rough terrain were forced to dump water from a safe height - so as not to crash into the hill in smoke.

Whaley. And it is strange that they do not supply for export, because there are just no analogues here, this time without exaggeration.

There is an analogue, and with higher rates, both in "seaworthiness", and in range, and in take-off weight, and in terms of operation time - the Japanese US-2.
(Moreover, it has 5 engines).

[Whalebone]

The Japanese are slower, less maneuverable. And most importantly, 2 times more expensive.

Search and rescue with fire extinguishing function.

I think that constantly.
I don’t know why the military needs a modification of the "emergency", there are more interesting patrol officers.

[donavi49]

Not. There is a PS option - but not in the hardware. The project is also not finite. That is, it is necessary to complete the project, release documentation, assemble an experimental board, fly it off. And all this for money of the Moscow Region and for infinite time.

Moscow Region has already been taught the first order (2013), where neither planes nor money really came out. Ordered what is in the series. And then it goes with a delay.

[Lelik76]

Water is collected in the compartments of the boat (in the middle of the fuselage) and hatches are made to discharge water. This is the structural power scheme of the fuselage. Inside the cabin are only tanks (6 tanks of 200 liters) for the chemical. fluids are a foaming agent that can be removed. Dropping through the side is certainly inconvenient, and in flight you probably can’t open it, but the inflatable motor is equipped with a pumping system on board from the engines (SCR) and normally it is pushed out through the open hatch. But it’s possible to just load containers for water collection, but due to design features, the size of the containers should be approximately 50 * 50 * 100-150 cm. And there are no devices to reset. I just at one time there a chemical supply system. liquid mounted, climbed in these compartments abound

[Lelik76]

It doesn’t drown, it draws water through a water intake device and water compartments with 5 frames each, and there are 60 of them in the boat’s hull with something if the memory serves. Enough buoyancy, I think, even with full tanks. You can also fill up with water at the airfield there the onboard connector is similar in type to hydrant cranes. I do not remember seaworthiness like 3 points. Passenger doors 2 sliding. and 2 emergency hinged in the cargo hatch and from the port side. Well, as a rescue all the same, there is a thermal imager in the same place, for PLO, of course, a sickly such OCD will have to be muddied.

[Andrey Mikhaylov]

It was the problems. With the engine that was the reason for the delay. Thank God they solved it.

[sergevl]

On the fuselage, I would draw a portrait of Putin, and on the other hand, Medvedev.
And everything was decided with the engine, approximately how Ukrainians got out of gas with gas, they would buy the engine in Belarus and, as it were, produce it in Europe.

[donavi49]

Where does the information come from because of the engine ??? The basic failure of the contract occurred due to extremely optimistic estimates on the timing of the conversion of pilot production into serial. Irkut demanded that the leadership rid him of limited-edition aircraft, otherwise there would be no MC21. The management transferred the aircraft to the Beriev base plant and gave money for the deployment of pilot production in serial.

The result - a blockage, courts with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Emergencies. But now they have launched production and more or less assembly is in progress.

Engines for the entire first MOshny order were put before the sanctions. Therefore, this should not be a problem. There is even a reserve (and you can also dismantle the An-148, donkeys don’t fly anyway now because of difficulties in maintaining airworthiness).

[sergevl]

Purely theoretically, d436 can be sold to China, and from there to Russia)
Threat type certificate for 148 like transferred to Voronezh?

[donavi49]

Well, this does not solve the problem of servicing Ukrainian components, their routine maintenance and the supply of spare parts. Even customers who can close their eyes to the certificate have airworthiness problems.

[bars1]

I like the eggplant coloring of the naval aviation planes! Without sarcasm, if that.

[Zaurbek]

They were transferred to Irkutsk, sort of.?

[Lelik76]

In Irkutsk, we have made the first prototype and 302 more vehicles for the Emergencies Ministry. Then they handed over to the "homeland" in Taganrog all the equipment, documentation and parts.

[Tests]

Dear visitors of "VO", forgive me for not being at all in the subject, BUT ... How can this plane sit down and take off when the sea is roughly 3 points, did I understand correctly? Does anyone know: Project 09037 ekranoplan "Rescuer", which in 2016 was pumped out of the workshop to the territory of "Krasny Sormov", is it alive or has it been cut into metal? And at what roughness of the sea the ekranoplan could lift people from a life raft or from a boat from the water on board? I remember that in 2000, after the death of the Kursk, they promised to complete the ekranoplane rescuer for the Northern Fleet in 2-3 years. Almost 20 years have passed and ...

is its use possible?
