The second Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft of a new construction began flight tests

The Il-76MD-90A heavy military transport aircraft of a new assembly, assembled on the production line of Aviastar-SP JSC in Ulyanovsk, has begun flight tests. This is the second aircraft of the new assembly, taken into the air in 2021.

There are no official announcements on the website of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) about the start of flight tests of the second Il-76MD-90A; the website of Aviastar-SP JSC also lacks relevant information. Meanwhile, the plane was rolled out of the workshop on September 29 and began testing on October 4, 2021.

The new plane was spotted by spotters at the Ulyanovsk-Vostochny airfield, it was not even painted. The timing of the transfer of the aircraft to the VTA of the Russian Aerospace Forces is still unknown. It is noted that this Il-76MD-90A is the second one assembled in Ulyanovsk on a new production line. Several more planes are now being completed, but according to experts, by the end of the year the military will receive all three new "transport aircraft", the transfer of two more will be postponed until next year.

Note that the first heavy military transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A of a new assembly was received by the Ministry of Defense on October 8. He joined the 235th military transport aviation regiment of the 18th aviation division of the VTA VKS of Russia, based in Ulyanovsk.

To date, Aviastar-SP has built only nine Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft out of 13 ordered, including the one that went for testing, under a 2020 contract renewed in 2012. Another 14 aircraft "Aviastar-SP" should be delivered to the Ministry of Defense by 2028 already under a new agreement.

And how! Previously, we were promised 2020 of these machines by 39. The regiment mentioned in the article was formed for them. And the result? Come on, already familiar. "Waiting for ..."

It seems like things have gone, the difference between the first and the second is a little more than a month. This is what the life-giving kicks from Shoigu and Mishustin are doing. The team is great. But God loves the trinity! Every month a plane is already something, there is something to strive for.

Wow

2 planes a year under a new contract is a really amazing pace.

[tralflot1832]

For you specially, the first aircraft assembled on the new production line was handed over to the customer on 08.09/2021/2023, this is the second. There are assembly sites on the assembly line now. The fuselage is being assembled from the first site. At this rate they will close this contract back in XNUMX. Let's see.

For you specially

Colleague, Duc is not necessary especially for me, even if they collect for BTA, only 14 letak by 2028 for such a mighty country like ours, they look poor.

[tralflot1832]

A month ago, colleague, after the first plane, I said for such colleagues. In a month we will see, a little more than a month has passed, now the second. In a month we will see.

Especially for you, the first aircraft assembled on the new production line was handed over to the customer on 08.09/2021/XNUMX, this is the second.

Andrey, do you not notice the contradictions in your statement?
A month ago, the first IL-76MD90A assembled on a new line was HELDED to the customer.
And the second one today took off for the first time only. That is, I just started factory tests. It hasn't even been painted yet.
And how many months did the first test pass? What was transferred a month ago? I'm afraid to be mistaken, but for almost a year.
But he was the first. From a new line.
The second one, I think, will be tested and brought up faster, and I believe that it MAYBE will be able to pass it even this year.
And six were supposed to be handed over.
How many times.
This is what your colleague is talking about.
And now you can count those sides that are now on the assembly line.
And it is possible to count only those that HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED to the customer.
This year there may be only two of them.
But with no small probability, and such an assessment is too optimistic ...
At the Ulyanovsk ASZ, a uniform mess is going on. Where the funds go is not clear, but workers are regularly cut wages, the organization of the production process is simply disgusting. There were also strikes, especially after they were transferred to piece-rate pay, and the work process was not organized ... Due to the forced downtime, the workers' already small wages fell to simply ridiculous. There are records of striking workers with their bosses, who admit their own inconsistency in organizing the production process, referring either to suppliers or to changes made by the developer ...
And VTA is still left without new heavy aircraft.
A VKS without new tankers.
... I will not say anything about the aircraft for the A-100 - there "Vega" generally failed everything, therefore the aircraft are not in demand yet. But they planned to buy 50 A-100 and 50 Il-78MD90A, except for a hundred for the VTA ...
So why be delighted to learn that another freshly assembled Il was rolled out of the workshop, if it is still not known when it will be ready for delivery?
The impression is that it is precisely this state of affairs, with total sabotage of all defense programs, that suits everyone.
Well, and to the public, which is known to have a "fish memory", any mention of the new aircraft causes a storm of delight. Although about the same board can be reported 10 times - "rolled out of the shop", "started flight tests", "transferred to the paint shop", etc. And the inexperienced citizen gets the impression that the work is still in full swing, and the planes are baked like pies.

But if the line really works and starts delivering the product, we will really see it in a month or two. If they roll out the next one, then it’s working. If not, then everything will go as before.
That very "first" from this line passed fault detection and elimination of shortcomings for about a year, of which there were obviously a lot, since so many flies. But that's why he is the first. If the second is handed over before the end of the year, it is a good sign, and perhaps from next year this unfortunate conveyor will start working.
If not ... at the domestic aviation industry, you can put a bold cross. For more than 10 years, the plant has not managed to organize the serial assembly of the OLD aircraft in a new look.
These are no longer "alarm bells", this is not even an alarm bell ... it could be the death knell. If by the end of this year the conveyor has not proven its efficiency.

And the reason for this is the disgusting quality of management.
At all levels .

Comrade, the Uryaskakuas completely lack memory and the ability for critical thinking, and they do not want to understand the details.

Thanks for the great comment! Forgive me for writing about painful things. I returned to the site thanks to people like you. Thanks! Plusy!

[Barberry25]

well, if you do not study the topic, then for you, this is the pace ... and if you study, you will find out that 2012 boards have been delivered since 8, but in 2021, 5 boards are expected to roll out, 2 of which have already been rolled out ... so yes, Aviastar is gaining momentum

If you do not pay attention to the fact that now is the 21st century and pretend that we are in the early 20th century, then our achievements are truly impressive, the greatest.

[Barberry25]

Well, what can you do if such a great aircraft manufacturer as Stroporez hangs on a topvarchik, and not on Aviastar and does not teach them how to start a production line ... by the way ... out of 9 delivered boards, 4 were delivered this year, and the 5th one was rolled out ... more 3 ready to roll out .. in general, this is already an indicator .. if all the rules, then in the spring it will be visible - if they start rolling out every month on board, then the line has been completely debugged and 12 cars a year will be transferred.

[Zaurbek]

There were some difficulties with production ... workers almost went on strike ...
As far as they wrote, the need for IL76 is great ..... and they are being actively urged. Why not run in parallel a typical (for avionics and turbojet engines and some systems) IL96 for the needs of TZ, AWACS? All over the world, aircraft based on civilian airliners are used for these purposes ... not to mention the fact that Tu204 / 214 can also be used for AWACS and which turbojet engines are the same ...

[Barberry25]

from carcasses you need RER and PLO to do ... but even silence ...

[donavi49]

between the first and second a little over a month

You are a little confused. This plane just took off into the air, and you are comparing it with the stage of delivery of the first one. That's when this one is handed over, then you can measure the data.

I measure a little for you:
10 June 2021 year at the plant airfield complex Ulyanovsk-Vostochny flight tests began the Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft with the serial number 0206 (registration number RF-78661).

The Il-76MD-90A aircraft with serial number 0206 was rolled out to the Aviastar-SP flight test station on May 16, 2021 and was declared by UAC as the first assembled on a new assembly line at this enterprise.

4 2021 October, the flight tests of the Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft with the serial number 0207 (registration number 78662). The plane was rolled out of the workshop on September 29 and has not yet been painted.

A month does not come out, and not even two, but two by two ... In total, if this pace is maintained, then you can squeeze a maximum of 3 boards per year.

[Barberry25]

if the dates for laying these boards, as well as the subsequent ones, were still clearly announced, then it would be possible to track the dependence ... in principle, the extreme ones from the usual stocks were handed over already this year, which means that all the personnel are working on the production line

[tralflot1832]

I had to shovel the tyrnet. 208 p / n will also be released in a month. But then it will be interesting. At the stage of construction of 6 aircraft. Plans for 12 aircraft per year, and the contract for the construction of only 18 and then 27 years, which does not grow together here. tankers and DLRO go separately?

[Glagol1]

If they do not make 8 boards a year, this is a failure. Capital investments are rather big, the car is badly needed. 10 - 12 ideally. Let's see. So far, UAC is one of the most ineffective state-owned companies, despite the fact that they are all ineffective.

[tralflot1832]

To reach profitability, 10 12 boards a year will be needed, they will make more ILs for them will be cheaper, the profit will be higher.

[Alexfly]

Despite all the difficulties and minor setbacks, Aviastar-holding began testing the second flight prototype ... And the Air Force needs hundreds of such aircraft, although in order to transfer its own aircraft within its own country, if necessary ... East, Crimea, etc. Some kind of fuss, but the result is 0,5 ...

[zwlad]

Good news!
We are gradually returning competence in aircraft construction.
The "partners" did not have time to finish off the industry.

[Codett]

In March 2019, Yu.I. Borisov said that the Ulyanovsk aircraft plant was tasked with producing at least six Il-2019MD-76A aircraft in 90, and at least seven in 2020, starting from 2021 - about 10-12 aircraft annually. For October 2021, 8 aircraft were produced FOR ALL time, with this there will be 9, just a shame and constant lies from these effective managers, everywhere failure after failure in aviation, in shipbuilding, in tank building in space, just a shame They have a nightmare, only the conversations of Yu.I. Borisov added that the Il-76MD-90A aircraft is the main one for the Russian Ministry of Defense, and by 2030 the ministry intends to purchase more than one hundred such aircraft, excluding fuel tankers, and the AWACS A-100 aircraft, which are made on the basis of this model. I remind you they said in March 2019 ... Draw conclusions

[mlad]

In the ussr, production volumes reached 65 aircraft per year and without any super production lines

[faiver]

why mix warm with soft, the USSR was a great power, the current Russian Federation is still only its shadow, but we hope ...

[faiver]

We hope to increase the rate of production ...

[Orkraider]

In total, over the past 3 years, 7 out of 76 IL-90MD-12A aircraft took off.

By the way, the production line in 2021, according to the plan, should produce 3 cars, 5 was out of the question. Boards 0206,0207,0208 were in operation at the PLC. More on debugging and was not planned .. Confirmation of the release of the factory newspaper "Start" No. 36 of 2020.

It is 2021 that is considered a transitional year, during which assembly technology and cyclicity are being worked out, eliminating emerging interference and delays. After the completion of debugging and the release of 3 boards, from 2022 the beginning of a cyclic assembly, cycle, taking into account the changes made, and only in 2024 the plant plans to start assembling 1 car per month, 12 boards per year

I recommend reading the primary sources, namely the interview with V.V. Sidorenko. in the factory newspaper "Start".
