The aircraft LMS-2 "Baikal" created to replace the An-901 was tested in a wind tunnel

The promising light multipurpose aircraft LMS-901 "Baikal", created to replace the Soviet aircraft An-2, was "blown" in the wind tunnel of the TsAGI im. Zhukovsky. The studies were carried out by order of OOO Baikal-Engineering.

Tests in the T-102 wind tunnel of TsAGI passed a model of the aircraft, made on a scale of 1: 7. At the first stage, tests were carried out at air flow rates from 25 to 50 meters per second. A simulator of a working power plant was used on the model. Experts determined the total aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and the effectiveness of its controls. The tests will continue.



The new aircraft LMS-901, being developed to replace the An-2, has a length of 12,2 meters, a height of 3,7 meters and a wingspan of 16,5 meters. Maximum take-off weight - 4,8 tons, speed - up to 300 km / h. The maximum flight range is 3 thousand km. The aircraft is created according to a modular scheme, which will allow it to be converted into a cargo or passenger version.

In the summer of 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced a competition for the development of a light multifunctional aircraft for nine passengers to replace the legendary An-2 "Corn". The winner was LLC "Baikal-Engineering" - a subsidiary of the Ural plant of civil aviation.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade abandoned the planned for serial production in 2021 of the single-engine TVS-2DTS "Baikal" aircraft, developed by the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation on the basis of "Kukuruznik", all its developments went to the creation of the LMS-901 "Baikal".

    It's good that a new workhorse is being prepared, which will replace the famous maize. But AN-2 is a lump of our history. good

      Replacing "Annushka" is long overdue, but how long to wait for her? This gimp has been going on for 20 years. During this time, there were 5-6 quite competitive cars to replace the AN-2, but not one of them never went into production. That money was not for some other reason.

          This gimp is called - shame on our aircraft designers and our aircraft factories. Our grandfathers, who created the "corncob" and riveted it like slippers, simply grin at modern specialists and shake their heads in bewilderment.

            Gritsa - The factories have nothing to do with it, I live in Ulan-Ude, and I know for sure - there will be a project, the plant will assemble this aircraft without any problems.
            But you wrote correctly about the "designers" - this is really a shame, and even engine building should also be mentioned - there is no engine for the corn machine in the country and in the near future it is not visible.

              Well if that's the case. But something tells me that at our aircraft factories not everything is in order with modern technologies, with modern equipment and, most importantly, with trained personnel. I would like to be wrong.

                Gritsa - U-UAZ is headed not by a lawyer and a manager - here is also a Soviet director with a specialized engineering education and vast experience.
                The plant now specializes in the production and overhaul of Mil family helicopters, practically all modifications from the repair of basic MI-8 to the release of the latest MI-17 (1) models of various modifications. Products are made both for the Ministry of Defense and for the Ministry of Emergencies, and a lot is exported, so with technology, machine park and qualifications of workers, everything is normal.
                A 9-seater plane is an order of magnitude easier to manufacture than a modern helicopter - it will be produced quickly ... there would be something to produce, but here is a complete poppa negative

                  About 15 years ago, an old test pilot told me that if everything goes in the same spirit, we will lose our domestic aviation. And recently I listened to an interview with Svetlana Kapanina and realized that we are losing aviation forever.
                  Our industrial department can no longer release a sports plane.

              The plant was bought out and transported to the Urals, where they are going to collect.
              But!
              No engine.
              And for "Kukuruznik" too - there is no engine.
              And for the Ansat and Ka-226 helicopters, too - there are no engines.
              There are no engines for the long-awaited Ka-62.
              And for the Be-200.
              And for the "Super-Jet" there is no engine of its own.
              And for the Mi-26, too, there is NO engine.
              But for the Il-76MD90A there is an engine ... but there are no aircraft in serial production (namely serial production, not piece production).
              ... The propulsion curse of modern Russian aviation.

                  For Tu-160 and Tu-22M3M engines have already appeared and the first batch was not only transferred to the plant, but also delivered. But the number and pace are not yet great.
                  But with engines for unmanned vehicles, yes ... sadness ...
                  And for the Il-112, Il-114 with engines, not everything is all right either - they are damp.
                  ... And they would have taken Zaporozhye in 2014, and they would not have known grief.
                  And for "Ruslans" they would not know grief.

                      The main thing is for him to fly.
                      Just one single time to start.
                      With a full-cycle flight - with training BB, with the defeat of targets on the Kura, without serious system failures.
                      It is a very complex rocket, and the Makeeva Design Bureau has never built heavy rockets. Her SLBMs were all light class. And they even created Typhoon in close cooperation with the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau and the Pavlograd Mechanical Plant.
                      Just look at HOW MANY unsuccessful launches of the P-36 preceded the success? How many flaws were revealed during such unsuccessful launches? And only after summarizing all this experience and correcting all the mistakes, the rocket still flew and became the basis of our Strategic Missile Forces in the heavy class.
                      "Sarmat" is the same R-36M2 with a new upgrade and from a new manufacturer. Therefore, the Makeev Design Bureau has yet to go all the way of trials, mistakes and failures.
                      For not a single launch of this rocket has yet been made (throwing does not count). And how long it will take to bring it up to condition is completely ... not clear ... Yuzhnoye Design Bureau cannot be connected to cooperation ...
                      In 2014, Russia had a chance to make the Yuzhnoye design bureau again Russian ... It was simply necessary to take advantage of the request of the president of the former Ukraine to provide military (or just force) assistance in eliminating the consequences of the fascist coup.
                      This chance was not used.
                      This is bad for everyone.
                      ... And the rocket does not fly.
                      Hopefully bye.

        And what kind of engine to put on it? Currently, developing an aircraft for an American engine is not an idea, and biplane will lose in terms of speed and fuel efficiency.

          At the first stage, the General Electric H901-80 engine will be installed on the LMS-200, this is an updated Czech-made Walter M601. In the future, it should be replaced by the "Klimovsky" VK-800. Also, at the first stage, imported avionics of the Garmin or Honeywell type will be used, followed by replacement with Russian equipment, and the same Hartzell propeller. hi

          When the concept was being worked out, the idea was to use engines purchased on the secondary market (there are up to ... a lot of them, they are cheap, somewhere between 200-300 thousand dollars, and they do not fall under sanctions) with the prospect of replacing them with domestic ones as soon as they are ready. The option of installing two VK-650 was also offered.
          The development of UZGA assumes a smaller volume of the fuselage with a slightly higher carrying capacity, which is not very good for a cargo-passenger aircraft.

        In the ancient An-2, the design is very rational. But TVS-2DTS has a biplane scheme without racks and braces - this is a miracle of wonders, as a result of a huge overweight of the structure. The expensive composite didn't even save me. They started an airplane for the government services of the rich countries, but we need an apparatus for the poor semi-colonies.
        When creating a replacement for the An-2, you need to dance from the stove - a massive cheap motor produced at state-owned factories under the supervision of the state with honest and competent officials.

                And for this, production areas are usually prepared in advance. I am a civil engineer, retired, but I am aware of what is being built (or going to build) at this plant - they regularly turn to me for advice. I can say for sure - today even the project documentation (for construction work) for this case has not been ordered, but it will take two years for the auction and for the project itself, and the same amount for the auction for construction work and for the work itself.
                Why is that ? Yes, because the director of the plant is a very experienced and well-informed person, it is easy to convince you and me with beautiful pictures and articles that "work is in full swing", and the plant's management knows for sure that "nothing will come of this swarm in the near future ... ", therefore he is in no hurry to spend money on preparation of production of non-existent equipment. hi

                    not in some blog, but in the Military Industrial Courier:
                    “The long-voiced VK-800 engine has been expected for many years. It is intended to be installed on the Russian version of the L-410NG aircraft for local airlines, which will be assembled in Yekaterinburg. Without this long-awaited engine, the aircraft cannot be considered fully Russian and delivered to government customers.
                    The engine is also intended for the new most massive aircraft for local air transportation, replacing the legendary worker An-2.
                    However, if the creation of the engine goes on at the same snail's pace, then Mongolia will overtake us in this field. "
                    That is why the experienced and well-informed director of U-UAZ does not fuss.
                    Of course, the money will be allocated to him, but usually, to speed up the process, the plant ordered reconstruction projects for its own, then this amount was returned of course. And now this is not - a sure sign for the coming years no mass production is expected.

                      Has Mongolia started producing its own theaters long ago? SibNIA is moving its An-2 modernization project there. Well done, we found an investor.
                      Ulaanbaatar can enter the international market with a very competitive product that will definitely be in good demand.

                      What is the demand? Who needs these planes besides Mongolia? laughing The market for such aircraft is vanishingly small.
                      I live in Samara and communicate with people related to the production of NK-32-02. To be honest, after several accidents at the stand and messing around with the NK Engines management, I thought that the engine would never be brought to life. But no. Once the first motors were sent to Kazan. I think that one fine day VK-800S will be sent to the UZGA as routinely.

Our country needs hundreds of them. but if SibNIA will produce them in Mongolia, then I think, too, not in dozens of pieces. But importing them to Russia from Mongolia is unlikely to work - with imported equipment they will definitely fall under the re-export ban. But Asia is big, they will find someone to sell, the cost price will be lower than in the Russian Federation (taxes from the Mongols are not like ours), so they will play on the price and sell

    The plane itself is flawed:
    1.In front of the cockpit, there is not a small engine hood, but at the start the aircraft stands with a high nose, that is, the pilot's view forward and downward is blocked, and this despite the fact that you need to take off from the ground and unprepared sites. How to do it without looking at the takeoff.
    2. One engine - but it is not, "straw" bed - "for the first time" laughing will deliver the import. That is, the Siberians cannot import imports, but the Urals can be cool. It is common practice for such aircraft to take auto-engines and put them on the aircraft after a little modification. In Russia there is such an auto-engine - Aurus. Two such engines on the wings (like Cessna's) would solve many issues, including an overview of the takeoff at the start and, most importantly, SAFETY!
    After all, what was written in the last article - backup electric motors 2 pcs, 100KW each ... can you imagine how much they weigh? yes, plus batteries for them - complete idiocy. Well, I won't write about the parachute on which the entire plane will descend, you can't use obscenities, but you can't do without a mat.

        Arzt (Yuri) - "Fuel consumption is twice as fast" - This is not so. The fuel consumption of two engines of 400 hp will exceed the fuel consumption of one engine of 800 hp by very, very little. But for years to carry an extra ton of cargo (backup electric motors and batteries for them) - this, in your opinion, will not affect the economy of flights - eh? These are direct losses - instead of this ballast, it was possible to transfer commercial cargo and get money for it, but only extra fuel consumption.
        As for the pictures - your conclusion "But 2 engines immediately grow:", to put it mildly is not justified -
        1. Cessna Caravan, 10 seats, 1 engine, 670 hp, 150 kg / hour 150: 670 = 0,224 kg / hour for one HP.
        2. Cessna SkyCourier, 20 seats, 2 engines of 1100 hp, almost 600 kg / hour 600 \ 2200 = 0,272 kg / hour per one HP
        the difference is extremely small despite the fact that. Cessna SkyCourier is a different class car (20 seats) and fuel consumption grows exponentially as the aircraft gets heavier.
        And one more "detail" - All these planes in the pictures are equipped with a landing gear with a nose wheel, that is, at the start they stand exactly, which means that even in a single-engine version, the pilot has any forward and downward visibility.

            670hp: 10 = 67hp per passenger; 2200hp: 20 = 110hp per passenger these are cars of different classes, hence the difference in fuel consumption.
            Initially, I wrote about replacing one 800hp engine with two 400hp engines - are you trying to convince me that this will double the fuel consumption? The increase will be, but extremely insignificant and it is compensated by the fact that you will not need to carry with you a constantly weighty emergency electric propulsion system, which is also additional. fuel consumption and + lost profits, instead of these email. engines and batteries, you can carry cargo and get paid for it.

              It seems to me that you are wrong. The fuel efficiency of twin-engine comparable aircraft is lower than single-engine ones.
              The growth is based on the examples given, if you think they are wrong: give specific examples of aircraft brands, indicating the costs.

              About:
              about replacing one 800hp engine with two 400hp
              .
              What Russian engine do you offer, which produces 400 hp? and the weight will be equal to 1/2 VK-800? Moreover, the weight should be less than 1/2, but let's not talk about that.
              And VK-800, with due regard and interest in its appearance, will be delivered, and in the foreseeable horizon.


              And yes, if it is still possible to install emf on this wing without major changes (which I doubt, to be honest), then do you seriously think that it is possible to install an internal combustion engine on it without redesigning?


              there will be no need to carry with you a constantly weighty emergency electric propulsion system

              I agree with this., IMHO, the an-2 is operated without all this, and the new aircraft will have higher reliability than the old people who are forced to fly

                Orkraider - Hello!) About the engine: This is what the Military Industrial Courier writes
                (Vl. Volgin from September 29):
                “The long-voiced VK-800 engine has been expected for many years. It is designed to be installed on the Russian version of the L-410NG aircraft for local airlines, which will be assembled in Yekaterinburg. Without this long-awaited engine, the aircraft cannot be considered fully Russian and delivered to government customers.
                The engine is also intended for the new most massive aircraft for local air transportation, replacing the legendary worker An-2.
                However, if the creation of the engine goes on at the same snail's pace, then Mongolia will overtake us in this field. "
                Why Mongolia? Yes, it's just that SibNIA, with such an attitude towards their work in the Russian Federation, is now working together with the Mongols and they can really succeed with such an aircraft even earlier and better than UZGA.

                Orkraider - I will continue - on the engine - In the Russian Federation, one auto-engine Aurus 500 hp has already been converted into an aviation one, it turned out quite acceptable, and UZGA is aware of this.
                Regarding the alteration of the wing structure - and it will have to be done this way - just install the mounts for the motors - only electric ones (the diagram is higher for donavi49).
                In terms of fuel efficiency, yes, one 800 hp engine consumes less fuel than two 400 hp engines, but not by much and definitely not "twice". For that, it will not be necessary to carry the ballast of the electric propulsion system for years - the carrying capacity will be added, and this is additional. income.
                For safety - the quote "An-2 is operated without all this," - so An2 LETAL is like a glider with an inoperative engine and that is why it was made a bi-plan! UZGA craftsmen removed the second wing - that's it, the "glider" was gone. And therefore there must be two engines.
                No, well, they also wrote about the parachute, and seriously wassat - for UZGA, apparently this is an "option"

      You can even make a virtual cockpit with an augmented reality helmet.

    New aircraft LMS-901, developed to replace the An-2,

    This is already the "eleventh" attempt, but it is in the "attempt" stage and dies.
    It is stupid to cram modern "aircraft products" into the parameters of the An-2.
    An-2 is "Kalashnikov" in the light-engine aviation of the 20th century in the USSR, and in a dozen countries. Before his death Antonov said that the best plane that I have created in my life turned out to be An-2!

    To replace the legendary An-2 "Corn".

    This "nickname" was given to him by people not versed in aviation. Sticky (brand)
    "Cornfield" originally carries the Po-2 after its successful landing in a cornfield due to engine failure. When the Po-2 biplane left the "air scene", a new, more serious biplane, An-2, appeared. And the ordinary media, seeing there "4 wings" and here, flying in the sky, automatically began to call the "maize", and An-2, which ran around the pilots flying on it. They called him affectionately - "annushka", or simply "anton". I had to fly on it, and on "wheels", and on "skis", and on "floats". Antonov is right - the plane is a legend in its class. From any "non-staff", he always came out with honor in "strong hands." (Hugging the sky, with strong arms, the pilot is gaining altitude) He was the first step in the "Big Aviation". There is no such thing. They can immediately board the Boeing from the "school desk". And this is not the same romance. There was no replacement for the An-2, and there will not be, as an individual.

    Yes, before, in almost every regional center of the USSR there was an airport for An-2. Flights from regional centers were regular.
    Airplanes have always been designed around the engine, but now they will create a digital model, and then they start looking for engines. To replace the An-2, a biplane is needed, because of the lower takeoff and landing speed for the possibility of landing on an unprepared site.

    With the replacement of the An-2, the problem is not at all technical. And don't blame the designers for the "simple" theme. It's not about them. It's about the economy. Or rather, in the purchase price and the price of small aircraft services. The fact is that none of today's An-2 operators bought new aircraft at market prices. They got the cars either on the basis of write-off or after deduction of depreciation, either for free at all, and as a result of numerous "reforms". As a result, a market for small aircraft services has developed. In the prices in this market, there are no costs for buying a new aircraft. There are running costs and repairs. Everything. Repair of An-2 by aviation standards costs a penny.
    Now imagine what a jump in prices for small aircraft services will be if you force operators to buy a new plane. It's not cheap, I think it's no less than a million dollars. And they will have to be recaptured within a reasonable period, not 50 years. So, on the market there are simply no buyers of services for such a price. Yes, there will be enough all kinds of Gazprom and Rosneft for a hundred boards. And that's all. Kirdyk.
    On this, production can be curtailed.

    If we want to replace the An-2, we need to reduce the price of the new aircraft to 3-5 million rubles. It's not really waaappshe unless you pass 90% of the price to someone else. The state, for example.

      The state, for example, can lease aircraft to air carriers.

        Leasing is essentially the same loan. I'm not talking about where the money can be taken, but that the customers of small aircraft services simply won't bring aircraft owners million dollar profit for the sane period. And we are talking about profit, not revenue.

    And he's handsome. It is strange that an inverted photo of the layout was inserted into the topic ...

    Yes, but did you have your own "home-grown" engines, control systems, modern materials for the fuselage? Everything that was offered was with the use of foreign components - and this is a road to nowhere, especially for an actual aircraft for internal use. That the fate of the superjet has not taught anything?
    I do not perceive people who thoughtlessly contributed to the collapse of a self-sufficient country, and now with "foam in their mouth" demanding from the "fragment of a shipwreck" to continue to sail further at the same pace.

    What, interestingly, does this new aircraft imply a minimum landing speed? Probably anyway higher than that of a biplane.

    And for a mass aircraft, I believe, the main indicator is precisely the minimum landing speed - so that in the event of any refusals, the passengers have the maximum chances of survival.

    And to achieve this safe minimum speed (well, say, 60 km / h or even less), at which one could even crash into a tree and stay alive, it is even worth worsening any other performance of the car - if necessary; - because here we are talking about security in mass use.

    The biplane, in my opinion, just gives such an acceptable landing speed - despite the fact that it also has a high carrying capacity. At the same time, its wingspan is not very large - which means it does not require a lot of parking space and a wide strip.
