The dates for the start of tests of the LMS-2 "Baikal" aircraft developed to replace the An-901 have been announced

Tests of a prototype of the new light aircraft "Baikal", created to replace the An-2, will begin at the end of 2021. The aircraft is being developed by the "Baikal-Engineering" company.

A prototype aircraft LMS-901 "Baikal" will be shown in July at the International Aviation and Space Salon. It will begin testing at the end of 2021. So far nothing has been announced about further plans, but the aircraft should go into serial production in 2024, replacing the legendary An-2 "Kukuruznik". At least this is the task set by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In the summer of 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade announced a tender for the development of a light multi-functional aircraft for nine passengers to replace the An-2. 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 single-engine TVS-2021DTS "Baikal" aircraft, which was planned for serial production from 2, the development of which went to the creation of the LMS-901 "Baikal".

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.

Foreign subcontractors? The engine, propeller and avionics on it are foreign. They are silent about composites.

[donavi49]

Specifically, there is 98% luminescence. Not luminescent, ordinary unloaded parts that you can mix at home yourself.

[dauria]

The engine, propeller and avionics on it are foreign. They are silent about composites.

The engine is still the one that is installed on the L-410. In the future, our VK-800. Composites have nothing to do here, this plane is a hard worker. Maintainability comes first. And there will be plenty of dented consoles and hard landings.
The plane is well calculated in my opinion. Not oversized. The wing profile in the photo is interesting, very similar to the carrier P-III. One thing - no more than 9 passengers are allowed on a single-engine. Not suitable for all companies.

[Tcheluskin]

Judging by the color, the keel is composite?

[Real Pilot]

And the question of PRICE is also important.
Very important. After all, the operators will be not only the state. organization, the plane should become widespread, like the An-2, which it theoretically plans to replace.
And you just have to be completely domestic.

With a good price and adequate flight performance, the aircraft can become the workhorse of small aircraft. Like An-2, actually.

[Telakh]

Until the legislation in the field of aviation is radically changed, it will remain a museum model.

[Looking for]

Yes. The "giant" of the domestic aircraft industry is in a cubbyhole of one of the shops.

how much can you collect in the cubicle? Will there be 700 pieces for Africa and LatAm? or 3000 pcs? the whole world is working as an assembler of the ultimate pr and kits are being driven from all over the world. l \ auto and gadgets and air so it will be. only with friendship the outskirts flew by.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade abandoned the single-engine TVS-2021DTS "Baikal" aircraft, which was planned for serial production from 2, the development of which went to the creation of the LMS-901 "Baikal".

The proposal is made as if the LMS-901 will have two motors, because the single-engine one was abandoned. Who knows, besides the engine, are there any other problems?

TVS-2DTS did not suit the Ministry of Industry and Trade, not only because of imported components and assemblies, which are almost 100% in this machine. This one-piece composite aircraft turned out to be excessively heavy and had to be made from foreign composite materials.


The empty weight of TVS-2DTS is 3180 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 7400 kg. An empty LMS-901 weighs 1980-2040 kg, and the maximum take-off weight is 4800 kg.
The aerodynamic design "biplane" has an excess wing area for the specified size and weight of the LMS-901, so a strut-braced high-wing design was adopted for the new aircraft. The use of a streamlined strut allows you to get rid of the center section and optimize the weight of the aircraft. Its estimated weight will be almost two times less than that of the TVS-2DTS biplane, thus reducing the labor intensity and manufacturing cost.

If it will have its own Russian engine, it will go into production, no means it will not work. All other talk is superfluous.

[Kuroneko]

The engine promises its own. Although the prototype flew in bourgeois.

[ALARI]

So I say there will be an internal combustion engine and an airplane, but for now, our drones also fly on the bourgeois and also wait.

[Kuroneko]

There shouldn't be any problems. VK-800 has actually been mastered, it has been on the stand since 2018. And the reason for the abandonment of TVS-2DTS was not the lack of an engine (and VK-800 would fit), but foreign composites.

[ALARI]

It's just that manufacturers can go again according to a simple scheme - Purchase of components abroad (cheaper and faster) and bam the rake goes head-on again.

Only he is weak. And there, the developers are already smarting with retractable wing takeoff / rescue electric motors.

[Nazar]

donavi49 The electric motors on such an airplane are complete idiocy.
1. Weight of two el. engines plus the weight of the battery - more than a ton and all this is "dead weight", which may not be required for the entire period of operation. And you have to carry this ballast.
2. The machine must be operated in the far north. Who and how will be able to constantly keep the battery in working order? Where do the conditions for this come from in the Severs?
3. A car with one engine on the runway stands with a high "lifted" nose - the pilot cannot see the runway in front of the car, but it is necessary to take off from unprepared sites, how can this be done "without looking"?
UZGA is an engine repair plant, the maximum they can do is a "screwdriver" assembly of Czech "L". Their subsidiary "Baikal-Engineering" is a sharashkin office of 3,5 people and with an authorized capital of 10 thousand rubles. Hence the result, because - a bad tree cannot bear good fruits - I did not say ...

Not really. For single-engine aircraft, the passenger capacity is 9 passengers. In my opinion, some kind of international standard. That is why we finalized the project. Monoplane, smaller, etc.

In Taganrog, the Be-200 will not wait for a replacement for many years. Judging by the components, we are with the Americans again friendship chewing gum, brothers and partners

[bayard]

In vain the biplane was abandoned, there would be no problems with the thrust-to-weight ratio. An-2 flew on an I-16 engine, with a capacity of 500 hp and it was enough for him.
An aircraft of this class should not be "technologically advanced", but as simple as possible, cheap, convenient to operate and maintain. That is why no one could compare with the An-2, although they tried to create a replacement for it since the 60s of the last century.
So the best solution would be to resume the construction of the An-2 with a new engine with a capacity of 750 - 850 hp, since petrol "stars" have forgotten how to do it.

[Kamchatsky]

And let's also calculate how much this piece of iron will run on the ground until it comes off. Until the VPH An-2, he still has to run and run.

The AN-2 is powered by 1000 horsepower. Aviation gasoline is not profitable for commerce. The engine is "selected" by Klimovsky at 800hp. since this engine is well suited for the L-410. Let me remind you that the owners of UZGazmyas purchased a plant in the Czech Republic that produces L-410. UZGazmyas will definitely not make a classic biplane - Minister Denis Manturov needs a product similar to a cesna, otherwise how to justify the choice of UZGA for financing. It was at the entom court plant that the UAVs purchased in Israel were assembled.
In general, it smelled like another "great pogrom project" in the style of a superjet.

[AC130 Gunship]

For the last 30 years, they have only been doing what they show at the next air show the next "corn substitute". The issue does not go further 1-2 pcs. Then all the noise dies down for 5 years. And so, in a circle. Big people and those who know how are not interested in the project (you can't drain a lot from it).

"Stub", apparently what really is. And your picture is just a draft on paper.
Let's look at the implementation of the project.
The plane is interesting. Truly something new, no prototypes.
Much will depend on adjusting the production of your own engine.

Quote: barclay

No, actually. That's what it looks like. And here it is the red line that is important, because it shows the structure of the floor. On the ground, Baikal will stand with its nose up, of course, and that is why the last section of the floor (where the landing hatch) is also made with a rise. Where the truncated tail section of the fuselage goes. Those. on the ground, this segment will be parallel to the ground, but you will have to climb into the cabin and into the passenger seats. But in flight, everything will become smooth.

[donavi49]

By the way, a rather strange decision to save money on matches. Whereas all competitors in the world still spend money on a normal nose stand.

For example, here are 4 popular types - which are already being released.

[Kuroneko]

Quote: donavi49

By the way, a rather strange decision to save money on matches. Whereas all competitors in the world still spend money on a normal nose stand.

A nose stand in the Far North, say? And yes, the models you presented are not quite analogs of the An-2.
By the way, did you notice the "bast shoes"?
Everything is done so that there is as little mechanization as possible, as much strength as possible (braces are also for this) and in order to repair this miracle it was already possible with one sledgehammer and such and such a mother.

[donavi49]

9 people carry all of the above as well as Baikal. Cab dimensions and various modifications / body kits +/- are similar. Well, or rather, some body kits will not have LMS, for example, a luggage rack outside the cabin - like the aircraft I have listed, again because of the savings on matches in the chassis.

The far north is an argument, but the same Caravan flies all over Alaska and even Canada. And there, too, is not a resort with +40.

And about simpler. An-2 was at one time an advanced machine. And Antonov was strongly persuaded not to use scarce alloys and aluminum, this is a corn-grower. But he pushed through the decision. Immediately, there is an extreme minimization of everything, including comfort, in favor of extreme maintainability (which in practice is not a fact that will be required, if the developers do not plan to score on the service, there is an airplane type, fix it yourself, write out the documents yourself too ).

[Nazar]

Kuroneko - That's right - "will stand with its nose up" - how to take off from the ground if the engine completely blocks the view of what is in front of the plane?

What? Ready already? For the message:

A prototype aircraft LMS-901 "Baikal" will be shown in July at the International Aviation and Space Salon. It will begin testing at the end of 2021. So far nothing has been announced about further plans, but the aircraft should go into serial production in 2024, replacing the legendary An-2 "Kukuruznik". At least this is the task set by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Here is the most normal picture:

Remember the LEGEND:

6 March 1946 year OKB-153 was formed for civil and transport aircraft at the Chkalov Novosibirsk Aviation Plant. Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov became its chief designer. The first task of the Design Bureau was the agricultural aircraft SKHA-1, later renamed An-2.
On August 31, 1947, test pilot P.N. Volodin first lifted the first prototype of the An-2, designated SKA, into the sky. The aircraft completed two large circles at an altitude of 1200 meters and after 30 minutes of flight landed. In December 1947, State tests began at the Air Force Research Institute, which continued until March 1948. On August 23, 1948, the aircraft under the designation An-2 was adopted by the Air Force and supplied to the Civil Air Fleet. Serial production was organized at plant number 473 in Kiev. 9 September 1949 years test pilot GI Lysenko lifted the first serial An-2 (in a transport version) into the sky.
In total, more than 18 thousand An-2 were built. Exported to 26 countries around the world.

On the contrary, a real photo is always better than one drawn on a computer.

[PROXOR]

Ooooh, thanks for the picture.
On the issue of replacing the AN-2. Closed bast shoes of the front landing gear make a cross for unpaved airfields. So what is this replacement for Corn? The scheme of bast shoes was used by both the Germans and ours. For example, the Germans removed the bast shoes from the front struts precisely because of the dirt.

[zlinn]

bast shoes do not interfere with operations with ground airpower, and even grass ones, and they are easily and quickly removed, but add 5-6 knots to the speed at the same flow rate, well, or reduce consumption, bast shoes interfere with the inspection of the wheels, but this is easily solved, this is me as an operator of different types of cessation, including on the ground, I can confirm

[PROXOR]

You probably did not understand me! Our soil strips are used even if the strip is soaked. And when landing and flying, the water with all the mud flies into these bast shoes. Look at all the competitors. All have open chassis wheels. And sesna involves the use of only dry unpaved airfields. So sesna is not an indicator.
In our conditions, this is not an option. BTW !!!! Take a look at the landing gear Canadians use on remote airfields. I don't mean healthy, low-pressure chassis wheels, but standard tires. You will be surprised, but in Canada, sesna without bast shoes prevails.

[JD1979]

The aircraft is created according to a modular scheme, which will allow converting it into a cargo or passenger version.

... someone recognized the "fashionable" word - modularity, but did not understand its meaning ....
The Ka-26/126/226 is an example of modularity.

There is very little information about the aircraft, I would like to know more information: the length of the run, the takeoff run, the stall speed, the ability to land on unprepared runways, unpretentiousness in repair, maintenance and management, i.e. everything for which the famous AN-2 was famous for the great designer and man Oleg Konstantinovich Antonov.

[Abrosimov Sergey Olegovich]

Quote: Kuroneko

There shouldn't be any problems. VK-800 has actually been mastered, it has been on the stand since 2018. And the reason for the abandonment of TVS-2DTS was not the lack of an engine (and VK-800 would fit), but foreign composites.

If it's not a secret, what prevented foreign composites from replacing with their own - the wing for MC 21 seems to have been made from their own composites?

[Captain Nemo]

In TVS-2DTS "Baikal" everything is not like that of Soviet designers. The biplane scheme chosen to increase the speed without braces and struts, despite the use of an expensive composite, led to a strong weighting of the airframe. Those. turned out to be a fashionable plane for the governor's hunt for defenseless animals.

What you need is a cheap workhorse with good weight return. Designed for the markets of Russia, Kazakhstan and the wild spaces of the 3rd world. Without a domestic mass engine and avionics, there will be no serious production.

Vaughn, the Turks with the supply of motors and electrical components of "Partneryputin" were slapped with sanctions - the production of UAVs was lame.

[Xenofont]

The biplane scheme does not increase the speed, but allows to reduce the load on the wing and, in fact, makes it possible to glide with the engine off.

[Captain Nemo]

The main advantage of the biplane is the lightness of the wing due to the truss power circuit. TVS-2DTS "Baikal" has a biplane scheme without this advantage. we abandoned racks, braces, braces due to the fact that with an increase in flight speed, all this economy wildly resonates, "flutter" and falls apart. As a result, we came up with an unreasonably expensive and heavy construction. This problem has surfaced if my memory serves me right on the AN-3.

[Laksamana besar]

On January 10, 2021, in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov clarified that, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, fixed in the contract, the cost of a flight hour for the Baikal aircraft should be 30 thousand rubles, the cost of the aircraft should be cheaper than Cessna Caravan and Kodiak 100 - 120 million rubles. against 170 million and 165 million, respectively.

The first flight should be completed by the end of 2021. It is planned to complete certification and receive a type certificate by the end of 2022 - beginning of 2023. Commercial deliveries will begin in 2023.

Polar Airlines (Yakutia), Naryan-Mar United Aviation Squadron (Nenets Autonomous District), Arkhangelsk 2nd United Squadron (Arkhangelsk Region), Aeroservice (Zabaikalsk Territory) and others have expressed interest in these aircraft. Within 5 years from the date of aircraft certification, Russian operators are ready to purchase at least 110 aircraft on financial lease. The purchase option includes about 50-70 aircraft in the Russian Federation and at least 50 aircraft in the CIS market. Thus, the nearest market prospect for this aircraft is estimated at 230 units.

Moscow - Sochi 1361 km (in a straight line)

[zlinn]

especially cool, to fly 10-11 hours from Moscow to Novosib on a single-engine close plane, the aforementioned An-2 has a range of 990 km, the same cessna has 1300 km, the proposed range of 3000 km is needed only for one purpose, to fly to airfields where it is impossible to refuel , and the snow on the other is the same, and so all day between them to wander and carry fuel with you, due to the increase in the cost of operation, deterioration of characteristics, just not to build airfields with refueling (barrel + pump), this is a breakthrough, this is a success!

[PROXOR]

You're kidding me: 1089 km divided by 300 km / h is almost 4 hours in the summer. It may take half the time to prepare for departure from a regular flight, but an ordinary reshular airline will still be there faster in all respects. I am already silent about Novosib and Sochi.

So it seems to me that it was necessary to make an airplane on one TV7-117 engine. Firstly, the engine is domestic, and secondly, it is more powerful, which will allow the aircraft to more easily take off from unpaved strips and have a higher cruising speed.

who will explain to me why a plane for 9 pax takes off weight of 4,8 tons? Why a range of 3 thousand kilometers at a speed of less than 300 km / h?

You can call it ferry range - the tanks are full, there is no cargo or passengers. The aircraft is planned to be universal - cargo transportation is several times cheaper than the helicopter version. Well, 9 passengers are restrictions on a single-engine aircraft. There are also unannounced public demands from the generals of the aerospace forces.)))

How long does it take for all good things to take root in the country, and vice versa, the goofs pass their proposals on once or twice.

This "pepelats" cannot fully replace the An-2. This is generally Pogosyanovskaya crap, a new Armenian dough cut and nothing else. There were already normal proposals for the modernization of the AN-2, but they did not pass. We remember the buried Tu-334s by Poghosyan and see the same picture again. And a new single-engine aircraft is not needed for Siberia. We need a light twin-engine ala L-410 smaller.

We need a light twin-engine ala L-410 smaller.

It was invented for a long time by the aircraft designer Antonov himself. An-28.
Made under license by lyakhami.

C-145A (nee An-28).
The United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) has acquired 18 C-145A Skytruck / Combat Coyotes that entered service since 2009 and were acquired through the Sierra Nevada Corporation, which prepares the aircraft for service prior to handover. Skytrucks planes fly around the world, performing clandestine thug drops, resupply and other missions, as well as training for foreign air forces.
The life path of this aircraft, after all the modifications, is not over. For example, Sikorsky, whose business unit is now PZL Mielec, believes the Sikorsky M28 short takeoff and landing aircraft is the ideal vehicle for meeting the needs of Central America.
All this confirms the correctness of the decisions incorporated in the design of the An-28 aircraft of the Antonov Design Bureau.

I wish this car increased reliability.

[zwlad]

Why reinvent the bicycle (AN-2)? Isn't it easier to restore production?

[Titus_2]

And where do you propose to restore ... we do not live in the USSR, and there is no certainty that they can.

[zwlad]

Well, about where they want to build a new one.

PPC .. Corn will be doing for 10 years

[senima56]

This project will suffer the same fate as "Rysachok" and "Gzhel"! The money will be collected, "sawn" and the only copy will be gathering dust in an abandoned hangar. And airlines will buy a "foreign car"!

[sifgame]

As befits all the specialists in small aircraft gathered at the forum of the topvar, there is no one to make the plane))). But seriously, it's all sad.
