At present, hundreds of An-2 light multipurpose aircraft (LMS) remain in operation. With all its advantages, this technique is morally outdated, and in addition, most of the machines will soon run out of service. For many years, the issue of replacing these aircraft has been worked out, but real results are still lacking. Since last year, in order to replace the An-2, a new project of the LMS "Baikal" has been developed.

Finding a replacement

Modern story creation of a replacement for the An-2 begins with the work of the Siberian Research Institute aviation them. S.A. Chaplygin (FGUP SibNIA). In the recent past, the institute presented several projects of the TVS-2 family, which provided for a deep modernization of the original machine.

Initially, it was proposed remotorization using turboprop engines, and then it came to rebuilding the airframe and other major changes. So, in the last TVS-2DTS project, a completely new composite airframe was used, which retained only an external resemblance to the basic design. According to the TVS-2AM / MS / DT / DTS projects, a small series of aircraft was built, most of which remain in operation.

In early 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade revised plans to create a new LMS. SibNIA projects were considered unsuccessful due to the high share of imported components, excessive complexity and incomplete compliance with airworthiness standards. As a result, a new competition is being held for the development of a promising aircraft with the code "Baikal".

In September, the Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) became the winner of the competition. However, just a few days later, the results of the competition were canceled, and then the contract was transferred to a subsidiary of UZGA - LLC Baikal-Engineering. The corresponding contract is worth 1,25 billion rubles. was signed on October 17, 2019.

Plans and deeds

Under the terms of last year's contract, no later than December 2020, the development company had to submit technical documentation and the first prototype for static tests. Then a flight prototype had to be built; tests of experimental equipment were scheduled for 2021. In the next 2022, they were going to carry out certification, and in 2023 serial production may begin.

At the end of February this year, it became known that the UZGA would be engaged in the construction of an experimental LMS "Baikal". By that time, the plant had completed a mock-up of the cockpit, which received the customer's approval. At the same time, some of the technical features of the project were revealed, showing the main approaches to development. Later it became known about the development of a new turboprop engine specially for "Baikal".

New information about the construction appeared in early October. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the first experienced LMS will be submitted for testing within the next few weeks. The checks will be carried out on the basis of the Moscow Aviation Institute.

Technical features

There are several basic requirements for the LMS "Baikal" project. So, the car should be made from domestically produced units. The passenger cabin must accommodate 14 people. or 1500 kg of cargo and maximally repeat the configuration of the An-2 cabin. You also need the ability to re-equip the aircraft to perform different tasks. The cruising speed was set at 300 km / h, the flight range with normal cargo was at least 1500 km.

The aircraft must operate at temperatures from -50 ° C to + 55 ° C and use unpaved airfields. The maximum take-off / run length is 200 m. With the basic composition of on-board radio-electronic equipment "Baikal" should operate up to 73 ° north latitude. The cost of the car was limited to 120 million rubles, the cost of a flight hour - 30 thousand rubles.

Taking into account such requirements, "Baikal-Engineering" offers a turboprop all-metal monoplane with a high wing. The airframe is made of aluminum alloys, which reduces the cost and labor intensity of its manufacture, and also provides an advantageous combination of operational and technical characteristics. Composite units were abandoned due to the high complexity of manufacturing and repair.

The new "Baikal" will be a monoplane. By abandoning the second wing, it was possible to reduce the weight of the structure to the required level without loss in flight performance. In the published images, the wing has a rectangular center section and consoles with a slight sweep. The struts were used, partially unloading the center section.

LMS will be equipped with a VK-800S engine with a capacity of 800 hp. and an AB-410V propeller. Until the appearance of a finished engine, the use of foreign motors with suitable parameters is not excluded. To simplify remotorization, uniform attachment points are used.

The fuselage of "Baikal" was able to accommodate a passenger compartment with a length of 4,9 m and a width of approx. 1,5 m and 1,67 m high. The door for boarding people or delivering goods is located on the left side in the tail. For greater ease of landing, the floor behind it is made inclined: the aircraft in the parking lot raises its nose, and such a floor is in a horizontal position, facilitating boarding or loading.

The issues of improving safety are being worked out. Thus, the aircraft can receive two standby electric motors with a capacity of 100 kW. If the main power plant fails, they will allow flight and landing. The possibility of installing a parachute system capable of providing a safe landing for the entire aircraft is also being considered.

The length of the future "Baikal" will be at the level of 12,2 m with a wingspan of 16,5 m and a height of 3,7 m. The maximum take-off weight is 4,8 tons. Flight performance and other characteristics meet or exceed customer requirements.

Needs and opportunities

The main task of the LMS "Baikal" project is to replace the An-2 aircraft that are still in operation and are close to the end of their service life. In addition, such a technique will be able to squeeze out newer samples of close classes, incl. foreign production.

"Baikal" in flight. So far, only in the picture. Graphics "Baikal-Engineering" / UZGA

According to calculations, in the first five years after certification, the potential demand for LMS can reach 220-230 units. It is not known what part of such market needs will be covered by Baikal, but there is every reason for optimism. In addition, it is obvious that after the end of this period the demand for "Baikals" will remain and may lead to new orders.

However, so far we are talking only about calculations and plans. The signing of real contracts for the supply of equipment has not yet been reported. Apparently, orders for "Baikal" will appear only after the start of tests or later - when it will be possible to assess the real capabilities of the aircraft and draw the main conclusions.

Difficulties of replacement

Soon, static tests of an experienced glider will begin, and already in 2022-23. promising "Baikal" can go into series. It is expected that such an aircraft will find its place in regional transportation and replace outdated equipment. However, the experience of recent decades shows that it is quite difficult to create a replacement for the old, but still relevant An-2.

An-2, developed in the late forties, was quite simple and cheap to manufacture, which made it possible to build it in a large series. The plane with this or that equipment could carry people and cargo, carry special equipment, etc. An-2 presented minimal infrastructure requirements. The work could be carried out from small unpaved airfields, and regular maintenance and minor repairs did not require the involvement of aircraft repair enterprises. All this contributed to the widespread use of such aircraft and active operation in various fields.

LMS will be able to work in different conditions. Graphics "Baikal-Engineering" / UZGA

In the future, aircraft construction technologies developed, but simultaneously with the characteristics of aircraft, the cost of construction and operation grew. As a result, the creation of a modern LMS with parameters at the An-2 level is a very difficult task. All difficulties of this kind are shown by the history of TVS-2 projects from SibNIA. With important advantages, this technique turned out to be disadvantageous for mass production and use.

The new Baikal project is being developed not only using modern technologies and components, but also taking into account previous failures. This increases its chances of successful completion and entry into service. However, the results of the project are still unknown. The first conclusions can be made only after the start of the tests, scheduled for next year.

[The leader of the Redskins]

The idea is good and really necessary. It will not be possible to modernize "annushki" endlessly. Everything depends on finances, as I understand it ...
And the graphics pleased, especially the one on which the plane looks like a soaring seagull)))

[Far B]

If it turns out to create something similar to the An-2 for the 21st century, it will be great. And then our people got sick of flying the L-410. They are unreliable, bastards. And they beat periodically. But...

Then a flight prototype had to be built; tests of experimental equipment were scheduled for 2021.

Chuykoy sense that the dates will shift, shift and shift. As we have in the past 30 years, in fact, is constantly happening. So how many years (decades) people will, swearing and sweating, fly on elks - it is generally impossible to predict.

Everything depends on finances, as I understand it

I would say that it all comes down to defective managers. For finance in the country is at least a dime a dozen (well, in any case, we are constantly told about this with honest eyes).

[Sergey_G_M]

It's not just about finance.

SibNIA projects were considered unsuccessful due to the high share of imported components

Less than a hundred years have passed since the leadership in aviation began to guess something.

[Nazar]

Dalny - Managers are defective, it really is a brake on everything. And plus to where to get the designers? The old ones are gone, and the new ones (the victims of the exam) work something like this: "O-Kay Googl, how to design an aircraft for local airlines? ..." Will you slander young people? And look at the Super-Tin 100 - the REGIONAL aircraft is designed so that the engines are 0,5 meters from the runway, all the dust and sand are sucked into them - where is it from? And from Boeing copied from the tyrnet downloaded. IL114 - Uzbekistan (!!!!!) mass-produced, all the documentation is there - and there is not a single flight model of the 114th in Russia, for several years they have been "working" but still nothing. IL 112th - gave birth to a freak, also downloaded two projects and thoughtlessly blinded them together, Ch. the designer (technologist in general by his specialty) directly said that the reason for the failure of the project is the low qualifications of the developers.
At our aircraft plant, even now, they are ready to assemble a new "maize", but from what? There is no domestic engine, and in the foreseeable future it will not be with such specialists. Well, I still understand a new engine for a fighter - not all of a sudden and not immediately, but how did it turn out that in the Russian Federation even a corn plant does not have its own engine ... for that is, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, I don't know how "Torg", but "Prom" from Manturov - no.

[Metlik]

So that the SibNIA project does not seem "unnecessarily complicated" to the officials from the ministry, it is necessary to invite a person with an engineering education there, so that he would explain to the managers what was what.

[Captain Nemo]

Reverse selection is not limited to ministries. SibNIA also. Explain why a cheap plane for local airlines needs a biplane scheme without braces and struts? That's right - so that the wings become several times heavier than the Soviet ones. And no supercomposite will fix overweight. But the cost of the life cycle will sharply overestimate. Where can you get rich passengers? Or did SibNIA design an aircraft for other niches? Well then, don't position it as a replacement for the An-2.
Without a domestic line of piston and turboprop engines with mass production under the strict patronage of the state, not only light civil aviation is in question, but also military drones.

Between these dates, from scratch, in the taiga to raise the plant and establish production ... sorry, this is not about us

Indeed, if the An-2 is so good and cheap, then what prevents you from continuing to produce the good old "maize" in batches? Look, for example, a "loaf" in the old exterior with a big-eyed still drives and no one is particularly worried about this.

Moral obsolescence gets in the way.
In the "loaf" there are no internal wing braces, there are no inter-wing braces that limit speed, impair streamlining and require POS (but this is not possible). There is no 1000-strong PD with which there is too much fuss at temperatures below + 5 ° C. There are no removable soft tanks, which on an aircraft of this dimension had long had to be replaced with caisson tanks. And much more. All this can be modernized, but it will turn out to be a 200% new aircraft, not a restored An-2. This is exactly what SibNIA showed with its TVS-2DTS. Even if they used duralumin, they would still get a 150% new aircraft, not the An-2.

So it turns out:

"Baikal" in flight. So far, only in the picture.

China bought a license and rivets AH2 in large quantities, the engine is certainly not USSR, it is also licensed. So our carriers have already started buying them from the Chinese - as it turned out, the Russian Federation is not in a position to repeat the production of the USSR "galoshes" (the USSR, as you know, did not produce anything except galoshes).

What?

to repeat the release of SSSR "galoshes" (the USSR, as you know, did not produce anything except galoshes) - the Russian Federation is not able to.

It doesn't make sense. It is to develop both the aircraft and the equipment from scratch, because in the USSR it has not been there since the 1970s, because it went to the NDP along with the documentation for it. And the CD remained in Ukraine. This money is better spent on a real new plane.

[Nazar]

Quote: "This money is better spent on a real new plane." - of course it's better to be rich, but healthy - who can argue, a new plane is needed, because it is not even in the project and there is no engine for it, but judging by the development time - this is again an option: "emir, donkey or Nasreddin" - time will pass and everything will end with nothing.
The IL114 is not much more complicated than the maize machine, the Uzbeks were mass-produced, and in the Russian Federation the years have already passed and this aircraft was not there, and is not.

[Captain Nemo]

The Russians were letting out, and as soon as the Russians began to leave en masse, all aircraft construction was blown away. And the Il-114 is much more complicated than the An-2.

[Nazar]

Captain Nemo - That's right, the quote: "the Russians began to leave en masse - all aircraft construction was blown away" - but in the Russian Federation, did the Russians also leave? The IL114 is a machine of the last century, yes - it is more complicated than the AN-2 and apparently so much more complicated that today's engineers cannot afford its serial production, in other matters, the production of an analogue of the AN-2 was also beyond their strength.

[Captain Nemo]

Some of the specialists moved to the west, some to other industries. The remaining Russian specialists still hold on to the aeros. The current engineers in the aviation industry are placed in miserable conditions. For international corporations, Russian aerospace is like a bone in the throat, through its lobby in the government of the Russian Federation, the aviation industry is being strangled. Serial production is the work of a large number of people, not just engineers. They are technically capable of launching, the problem is in the organization at the state level.

[Nazar]

Captain Nemo - Unfortunately, everything that you wrote is correct and plus to this - "subcontractors" or rather their absence, because the "organization at the state level" is such that there is nowhere to take components - the West does not sell and its production is destroyed.
In this regard, the stories with Super-Tin100 are indicative - while they were designing, while they were busy with the release of samples, everything was "smooth", as soon as it came to sales to the same Iran - from the USA - "stop" - more than 10% of US parts are exported in the product. and now we need to make essentially a new plane. With MS-21 it is even more fun - again, while they were designing, making the first samples - everything was quiet, they came close to the series - again from the USA - "stop" - the composites were blocked, it seems that their composites are about to appear and therefore again "stop" - already in electronics, and there, in the future, there is also a ban on PW engines. No electronics of its own, no engines (PD - sawing the dough is not an engine), what the hell is the aircraft industry - to cut gliders out of plywood or what?

Finally, it was with difficulty that it began to reach the state customers. A massive cheap plane requires an iron curtain and honest, competent officials. Therefore, the real replacement of the An-2 at the end of the tunnel is still not visible.

That's why UAZ was going to bake a new loaf. True, it turned out to be a monster anyway, but that is ...

Any rearrangement of the UAZ-452's cabin is practically impossible. Due to the archaic design, the steering wheel cannot be endowed with a telescopic mechanism. And the position of the pedal assembly depends on the attachment to the body, the design of which will also not change. So the strange ergonomics that convey greetings to the driver from the end of the Khrushchev thaw era, it seems, will remain with the "Loaf" forever.

Nobody will buy the An-2 from Novya, because the engine is gluttonous, and the plane itself is too large, too large for today's stunted small airplane in large numbers. So they continue to fly at the old ones and, at the maximum, can be repaired. as suggested by SibNIA according to different schemes.
New ones should be analogs of 4-seater Cessn on auto-components and light 4-seater verts of the Robinson type - this is a small air at least somehow affordable.

The biplane and one-and-a-half glider have a lower take-off run and run after landing, which means they can use less prepared airfields.

[Captain Nemo]

Check out Piper's plane. Vysokoplan and unprepared sites - bushes and the ground less cling))). The wingspan of the monoplane is 13m - equivalent in lift to a biplane with a span of 10m. The advantage of the biplane is the lightness of the wings (the wing is like a truss).

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

But this lightness (wing), as I understand it, can be achieved using archaic struts.
No matter how the era of new materials. Right there, as far as I understand, metal spars sheathed with aluminum. And again, we are moving away from carbon fiber due to the price, lack of technology and low maintainability. Although initially aimed at him.
In my opinion, it is still necessary to develop a "carbon" theme in aviation. Only serial and mass production will reduce the cost of such technologies.
By the way, thank you, you and your colleague Sergei answered my question.

By abandoning the second wing, it was possible to reduce the mass of the structure to the required level without loss in flight performance.

The issues of improving safety are being worked out. Thus, the aircraft can receive two standby electric motors with a capacity of 100 kW. If the main power plant fails, they will allow flight and landing. The possibility of installing a parachute system capable of providing a safe landing for the entire aircraft is also being considered.

Lightened with a wing and heaped up with additional engines. The plane is only a biplane. This is what gives security. How many crash landings in the fields?

Better - to make an innovative ring: lay as much of the potential for modernization and bold technical solutions at once as they will shove in and hold on to it as soon as possible, not allowing it to be cut.

Wait a little more, there will come a complete "stabilization". There must be motor factories for designers to be minders. Ask how many design bureaus and motor plants have been closed in Russia. World practice shows that it takes 25 years to create your own design school. Plants and design bureaus are closed in a month. Recently, a scientific division at one plant was liquidated, which worked, moreover, very successfully for 55 years. Young “effective managers” came along with “competent competences” and liquidated the unit that was hindering them. While the liberda will rule the country, nothing good should be expected. Well, whole generations have been lost in motor design bureaus, thanks to the "bad guy" and the "fight forever drunk", respectively, and their accomplices.

An aircraft version is made of the Aurus engine

A ,, aurus ,, straight Russian development! The FSE will also impose sanctions!

[KCA]

And the Aurus is a Russian development, study the issue, the developer is NAMI with the participation of invited Porsche specialists, and that, in my opinion, only when developing the engine of a presidential limousine, and in total there are 6 or 7 engines in the Aurus line

According to chief designer Vadim Pereverzev, the engine was designed in cooperation with Porsche Engineering, but according to our (FSUE "NAMI") technical assignment. All parameters of the future motor were set by Russian engineers based on the needs of the project. This also applies to traction and dynamic indicators, and overall dimensions, so that it fits perfectly into the layout of the car. The design of the engine was carried out side by side by Russian and German engineers. The engines are assembled at FSUE “NAMI”. There is no unification with Porsche engines. The engine is original.

Maybe for powdering. UZGA, in general, is a sane office. It is not for nothing that it says "may". Perhaps this is a mistake and it was not about backup electric motors, but about the now fashionable topic of a hybrid aircraft. 800 h.p. this is approximately the nominal power of the old man ASh-62IR, and 2x136 hp. will raise the takeoff power of the VMG to almost 1200hp, which will help in any extreme conditions (highlands, heat, takeoff downwind ...). The parachute can also be a curtsey to the moneybag who has seen enough of the Cirrus SR-22. But for a 1,5-ton aircraft this is still unrealistic, in the series (if it comes) this will not happen.

Well, a low-power backup unit is quite popular in new designs. With the engine wedge, there is no way to select a landing site. You will have to fall on a forest / water / city / mountain or hill, etc.

So there is no own engine.

Honeywell TPE331-12UAN - which was used on TVS2, it gave 1100 horses out of the box + incredible operating time, reputation and service.
The engine for the LMS is its VK-800S with a maximum of 800 horsepower (and this is a stand-alone engine, in fact, the engine is still not in series). And immediately the ideas of a hybrid with an additional circuit went (that is, if the main VK800S turns off, then the electrical component can rotate the screw) - to get another 250-300 forces.

Anything can. In the early 2000s, in Omsk, there was a series of about 20 An-3Ts, but we like it - they like everything cheaper, and it was cheaper to take the An-2 junk to shaman it, sort out the engine and fly for another 20 years on it. So everything died out.
Until the last An-2 physically decays, the new plane will not "take off". I do not know the current prices, but I think 120 million is not enough, this figure will definitely increase. For 120 they agree to buy now, but I think it is not profitable for production to sell for such a price, which means that a maximum of 10 cars will be released and the project will be closed. And someone announced the early prices below, that's how it was. In the near future nothing will happen, maybe in 10-15 years.

Everything depends on finances, as I understand it ...

oh yes, how it rests!
According to the price tag, Baikal is already approaching a completely different class of cars.
if an-2 in a really good condition now costs 5-7 million, then Baikal cannot be bought for less than 17 million (these are old price levels, I don't know now)
In addition, it says here that the cost of a flight hour is 30k. (I think in the end more).
if he carries 10 people (which is cool - the average load is usually less), then a ticket costs 3k.
For local lines that compete with buses, this is an inadequate price tag.
The population of the periphery cannot pay massively such prices.
Now at such prices they fly only in the tundra or other hard-to-reach areas, where it is impossible to reach by land at all.
Only two points can radically change the situation - the actual localization of the production of all valuable components in the Russian Federation and a radical reduction in excise taxes on fuel.
In addition, I will note that for some reason almost all large aircraft have benefits at airports, but for small aircraft the paradoxical situation is that sometimes it is more expensive to park an An-2 in Pulkovo than a Boeing 737.

the tax system is such that money goes to the center and is not returned.
Because of this, many regions cannot even cover basic needs, they take loans and are now head over heels in debt (there are a lot of them around MSCs)
It becomes even worse because of the division of income - the rich part, about 5% of the population owns more than 80% of the finances in the country. And the rest is not even the minuscule that is dictated by taxes, but 15-20% of it.
Well, how will you make money in such conditions? Will you go to 3 jobs and earn heroically 3x15 = 45 tr., And in 5 years hello coffin from overvoltage?
This summer I was in the Caucasus in the countryside, in the Leningrad region - it is not very easy to make money everywhere.
In the south, if you have your own land, you can at least plant a garden or make a greenhouse and make ends meet, but in the north even this is a big problem. And people value work there differently.
In MSC for 500 rubles, not everyone can be persuaded to run to the store for cigarettes, but on the periphery you will be brought to the store for this money. That's how they "don't want to work." Take your bowler hat out of the bakery space.

This is not a question of having money around, but of narrow thinking.
If there is no money where you live, earn it elsewhere.
Anyone who hasn't drunk their brains can, for example, learn to code, and do it in their free time, earning more in an hour than in a day in a dirty factory.
And then, when he goes to spend his earnings in his hometown (preferably not on vodka), then there will be an effective demand for goods, and most importantly, for services, the city will become attractive for small and medium-sized businesses, jobs will appear, there will be a need (and most importantly - funds) to upgrade the infrastructure.
Or take cryptocurrency. From 2009 to 2018, Bitcoin grew from almost zero to nearly $ 20000. At the same time, the initial investments to start earning were more than modest - one friend of mine just mined the first hundred bitcoins on a dead home computer. But people did not notice this opportunity - all these 9 years they continued to go to meaningless work for the sake of a meager "pay".

This aircraft will not be able to replace the AN-2 a priori! low thrust-to-weight ratio and the monoplane scheme will not allow using it from limited sites. Takeoff and landing using parachuting and ground screen will also be impossible. The turboprop engine is of course progressive and lighter than the piston engine, but it is more inertial and requires more time to set speed.
The piston engine is generally a pilot's dream, gave the throttle and the engine gives almost instant response. Although in terms of maintenance for a technician, a turbine is better.

The airframe is made of aluminum alloys, which reduces the cost and labor intensity of its manufacture, and also provides an advantageous combination of operational and technical characteristics. Composite units were abandoned due to the high complexity of manufacturing and repair.

I would advise the designers to think about how and why the An-2 was designed exactly like that, and then create a replacement for it

Yeah. "Simple plane". Especially starting the engine.

And here is the American version.

[Doctor]

I hope this is humor like that? The American version of what? - taxi for 4 people?

Yes, the Caravan is the same. He sat down and flew.

[KERMET]

Not at all like that - look at the LTH An-2, each has its own niche and each is designed for its own service

[Alexfly]

What did you want, the engine was invented in the USA in the 30s of the last century ...

[Alexfly]

Again 25 .... The story goes on a spiral ... As long as I live, so many poor Annushka are trying to defeat .... True, there are no motors, then carbon fiber, then money (for a rollback, probably), but things are still there. Now they are pumping a gruel in the form of ala Cessna -Caravan with the features of a Beaver and waiting for another cut again ... And the AN-2, as it flew, will continue to plow while the oceans of the forests of Russia ...

They buried the TVS!

This is not needed in Russia. Aviation, in general, any, in Russia is extremely regulated and not available to ordinary people. As a result, small aircraft are too expensive per passenger.

Aviation is not needed in the comprador Russophobic Russian Federation (since it increases the mobility of the population)
And in Russia it is needed and will be.

oh, this is my favorite pseudo-market dogma)))
another place is mobility.
mobility is ensured by the round sum on the accounts, rapid professional and social development under the age of 25 and professional knowledge.
Most people don't have ANY of the above for the previous reason.
those. changing places is very difficult for them.
I more or less got to my feet only 8 years later, when I moved to St. Petersburg. He worked from dawn to dusk, and with a monetary profession.

Another opus about "what to do from the An-2". I wonder why none of the designers proceed from the TODAY'S realities of the Russian Federation?
1-complete absence of unpaved airfields in endless Siberia and the Far East.
2- impossibility of using c-coms with a gas turbine engine for aviation chemical works.
3 is a very dubious thesis about the possibility of operating s-coms with a gas turbine engine from unpaved airfields of comparable sizes, as for the An-2, i.e. 650X60m.
I invite experts to argue!

[yehat2]

unpaved airfields are not a problem
other factors are more important.
1. you need an affordable filling for an aircraft and, most importantly, a modern economical engine that costs no more than one and a half million and works like a cessna from any gas station.
2. Whatever one may say, the level of income of the population is necessary. If everyone lives paycheck to paycheck, no one will fly.
3. It is necessary to remove fuel taxes from at least some flights. And in general, you need to think over the benefits in this industry. Transport is very important for our country.
4. More tolerant rules for the operation of private aviation are needed. Now, for example, in fact, you do not even have any guarantees that at least once the dispatcher will be given permission to take off. Such uncertainty is unacceptable. How to build a business? The same applies to maintenance - very inconvenient rules for poor private owners.

I don't understand this santa barbara, can't you make the engine? Buy a ready-made one with a production license, Stalin somehow did not hesitate to buy, right up to the jet for the Mig-15, and then the pride has seized chtol?

[xomaNN]

In comparison with really complex projects of military aviation (there are super-tough terms of reference!), Such an airplane in the West is being developed and put on the wing quickly by small air companies .. so what to turn to them? Or do we have those too?

[Alexfly]

nya some again, look at the picture! The cargo door is slanted, together with the floor! What a shiz !! Extend by a couple of frames !! Low-power 800 hp engine .... What's this? The old engine was 1000 .... Why create an obviously not the best option ?? Was there a TVD-20 engine, there is no mind to adjust it anymore or cutting is required more abruptly ?? Nothing personal, as they say, just business ...

[vik669]

There was no such thing, and now - again!

[victor50]

Soon the age of talk about replacing the An-2 will be the same as that of the flying An-2.

[Alexfly]

L-410 unreliable? Hahahahaha ... They have two engines - already more reliable than one, de it is not yet known which one ...
