40 seconds of open combustion of the engine: Some details of the fall of the military transport aircraft Il-112V in the suburbs
There are some details related to the fall of the Il-112V military transport aircraft in the Moscow region. Recall that this aircraft was a prototype of the newest military transport aircraft being created in our country. It should become one of the foundations of the military transport aviation (VTA) Russian Aerospace Forces. After the disaster, the prospects for the start of serial production in the near future of such machines become very vague.
During the flight, the Il-112V crew encountered problems in the right engine. Experienced pilots who were in the cockpit informed the "ground" about this, noting that they were making efforts to turn off the ignited aircraft engine.
In such a situation, the crew decided to act according to the worked out scheme: block the operation of the engine, engulfed in flames, and then make a landing approach with a turn. The turn was carried out in the right direction - namely "towards" the ignited engine.
However, all the efforts of the pilots were in vain. According to the latest information, the engine continued to run, which caused an additional increase in the consequences of its combustion. There was no longer an opportunity to correct the transcendental inclination that had arisen.
The pilots tried to make the approach maneuver "through the turn" about 25 seconds after the start of the open combustion of the engine. After another 15 seconds, the Il-112V military transport aircraft fell. When the car fell, it made almost a full revolution around the central axis, after which eyewitnesses saw a column of fire smoke rising in the area of the forest.
It must be stated that the crew of the test aircraft took all measures to take the transport worker away from residential areas.
Recall that initially the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation refused to accept the aircraft for testing due to the fact that its mass exceeded the standard parameters. Then there was evidence that it was necessary to carry out the revision of the engines. As a result, as the situation shows, the car rose in the air, apparently remaining technically "raw". At least, this is how flight experts interpret the situation.
For reference: the Il-112V aircraft was produced at the Voronezh aircraft building plant. The start of operation in the Russian Aerospace Forces was scheduled for 2022.
The plane arrived from Voronezh in the Moscow region on August 13.
