The new Il-114-300 aircraft's readiness for regular flights has been announced.

The new Il-114-300 turboprop passenger aircraft will be ready for scheduled flights by the end of this summer, according to Il CEO Daniil Brenerman.

According to the company's plans, the Il-114-300 should complete all necessary testing and be ready for scheduled flights by the end of summer. The primary certification flight program has already been completed, and the aircraft is currently being tested in Yakutia in extremely low temperatures. The first takeoff and landing from a snow-covered unpaved runway have already been completed. The aircraft will then travel to the Arkhangelsk region for certification testing in natural icing conditions.

The main certification program was completed in 2025. This year, we are expanding the data map, removing the restrictions that were received, and demonstrating the modes that aviation The authorities have not yet had time to assess it.

Two prototypes of the Il-114-300 aircraft are taking part in flight tests, and another aircraft is involved in ground tests.

The new Il-114-300 turboprop aircraft is designed for regional air travel and is expected to replace the outdated An-24 aircraft and foreign-made airliners currently used in this segment.

I agree. But in this case, "brevity" isn't a sign of talent, but rather a sign of the "day labor" of the staff cows scribbling on the latest news.
I'd really like to see performance characteristics comparable to those of the An-24, Bombardier, and other similar aircraft. So that we'd be bursting with pride at our impotent replacement! Or is there really nothing to brag about?

[Stas157]

Quote: Boa constrictor KAA

I would really like to see the flight characteristics in comparison with the same An-24, Bombardier and other aircraft of the same class.

Comparing the Il-114-300 with the An-24, the new aircraft is superior in every way. It's 500 horsepower more powerful, carries 15-20 more passengers, and can reduce weight. It's also 15-20% more fuel efficient. The Il-114-300 is roughly on par with its Western counterparts. Its performance characteristics are on par. It's certainly not a breakthrough, but it's a good aircraft.

[Dedok]

If we compare the Il-114-300 with the An-24,

There's nothing to compare: one still flies, despite its age, while the other is still "in diapers"...

Actually, the Il-114-100 has been flying for a long time; the Il-114-300 is a modification with different engines. I hope production has already begun before all the testing is complete. For example, 20 MC-21-310s are currently being assembled at the Irkutsk plant. Obviously, they're all at different stages of completion. But there are 20 fuselages in the workshops. I hope the situation with the Il-114 is similar.

These are different cars...

Let's put it this way. The prospects are good. Now it's just a matter of practical implementation.
The problems that were discovered with the Il-112 engine were reported to have been corrected.

[Mikhail Drabkin]

I've probably heard this for the 20th time already. About readiness, about Russian radio systems, about India's interest, about being the only unique country with a completely domestic aircraft production... they're just beating around the bush, admiring their own darlings...

[Arkady007]

The plane already exists and it's flying. What exactly are you unhappy with about this?
When trying to criticize and compare the performance characteristics of aircraft, write down the numbers on a piece of paper and look at them; it will make it easier to distinguish an airplane from a helicopter.

Maybe it would be right to do it this way: don’t tell us what will happen, but report what IS.

I disagree here! We've been hearing about what's to come for over 30 years... I'm tired of hearing about armadas of Armatas and giant planes like the SLON! It's much more interesting to read about what actually exists!

A dubious replacement, but time will tell...

To put it another way, it was a dubious and sabotage-inducing idea to allow Airbus and Boeing into Russia.
Thanks to these "effective managers" they practically strangled and destroyed their own aviation industry.
Thunder struck, and we were left with the remnants of the former glory of the good old USSR and leased foreign airships, whose resources were slowly evaporating, and a repair base that was practically non-existent.
Better a bird in the hand than two in the bush

[alexoff]

Quote: Andrey K

To put it another way, it was a dubious and sabotage-inducing idea to allow Airbus and Boeing into Russia.

But we want to let them go again, apparently to write off all the money spent on the aviation industry and finally send everyone home, closing down MAI and other institutions...

[bayard]

Why such a negative view of reality? Serial production is already starting, and contracts for these aircraft already exist. Moreover, the first one was signed with an Indian company, the first batch of six units, and the first delivery date is 2027. In other words, they signed contracts with the Indians even earlier than with our companies – they're staking out the market.
When Manturov was blathering on about 1100 aircraft by 2030, that was pure nonsense, screaming and spewing. But now the plane flies; cooperation has been improved in recent years, the engines have been refined. And we have no alternative but domestic production. We'd like to buy some from outside, but no one will sell them. We'd also like to cooperate with someone, but praise be to Ahura Mazda, it didn't work out with China. Now it's all on our own. And that's good for Russia. There's already quite a bit of progress with combat aviation. Now civil aviation is catching up, too.
As for the Boeings, "let them go," there are their own games and politics. It's an incentive/lure for Trump to lift sanctions faster, so that the frozen reserves in the US (and there aren't many, around $5-7 billion) can be used to buy Boeings.
The question is - WHICH Boeings? We won't have long-range wide-body aircraft for a long time, but we need to fly. The Il-96M-400 is for a special air squadron; airlines are unlikely to wait for them, and they won't rush to buy them either - they're yesterday's plane. And new ones of our own with PD-35s won't appear anytime soon, even if we use the backlog of 929s, because first we need to develop the medium-haul segment, short-haul, and military transport aircraft, we need a lot of aircraft, and we can't build them quickly. In short, there's no time for wide-body aircraft. We can buy them. Because we'll have to wait another 10 years or more for our own. And MAI graduates have enough work now. These engineers should be trained and educated at public expense, accepted through entrance exams rather than paid, and assigned to industry enterprises on a case-by-case basis, with the requirement to work the required training period. That would be fair and proper.
And the defective managers need to be sent home. And engineers and combat officers should be appointed (after the SVO, of course).

Well, that's understandable. Work on the PD-35 has been suspended, although bench tests were completed successfully and flight tests on the flying laboratory were supposed to begin this year.
In addition, work has begun on the new PD-28, which is planned to be used on at least four aircraft.
But the launch of the MS-21 into series production is the main task today - it is the most in-demand segment in civil aviation.

But the launch of the MS-21 into series production is the main task today - it is the most in-demand segment in civil aviation.

Work on the PD-35 continues. The PD-35 is used to develop technologies for the PD-26, which is essentially a scaled-down modification of the PD-35. Without a completed PD-35, there will be no completed PD-26. Work on the PD-35 and PD-26 is expected to be completed in 2030.

Last year, 2025, the development of a new high-thrust aircraft engine, the PD-26, first began to be discussed in Russia. This engine continues the development of ideas developed during the creation of the demonstrator of the largest prospective domestic engine, the PD-35. Indeed, the PD-26, with its 26-ton thrust, is a derivative of the PD-35 project. As we have previously reported, work on the PD-35 in Russia was initially focused on developing an engine for new super-heavy passenger transport aircraft and a prospective long-range wide-body passenger airliner. Several Russian media outlets baselessly claimed that the PD-35 was no longer needed due to the cancellation of the Russian-Chinese CR929 long-range aircraft project. However, work on the most powerful domestic turbofan engine continued after this. Thus, in 2025, the second stage of bench testing of the PD-35 demonstrator began. It should be noted that a year earlier, this demonstrator engine had already been tested approximately 50 times in various modes on a special ground test stand, where it successfully demonstrated a thrust of 35 tons, and as a result, the main new technical solutions in its design were verified.

https://tehnoomsk.ru/archives/23496

On February 14, Rostec announced that work on the PD-35 was continuing.

"Initially, the PD-35 project assumed the development of a wide range of critical technologies and the creation of a unified gas generator on their basis. The gas generator is the "heart", the central part of the engine, on its basis it is possible to create a whole line of products: engines with a thrust of 35 tons are suitable for wide-body passenger aircraft, 24-ton engines - for super-heavy military transport aircraft. Everything will depend on the technical specifications issued by aircraft manufacturers. At the same time, the demonstrator engine, which produced a thrust of 37 tons on the stand, showed that the main technical problems within the framework of R & D were solved, and now it is possible to begin creating a "commercial" engine," says Oleg Panteleev, executive director of the AviaPort agency.

https://mashnews.ru/motor-bez-planera-konkretnogo-plana-po-ispolzovaniyu-aviadvigatelya-pd-35-poka-net.html

[bayard]

I think the decision to develop the PD-26 was made not to develop two different engines, rated at 24 thp and 28 thp, but to develop a single baseline 26 thp engine that could be derated to 24 thp and boosted to 28 thp. The thing is, the initial version of the PAK DA was supposed to use four PD-14 engines in pairs, but the design was later revised in favor of a twin-engine airframe with engines of the appropriate thrust. In other words, the promising bomber specifically needs PD-28s. Engines with a 24 thp rating are sufficient for upgrading the Ruslans. The MS-21-500 is only in concept. But the PD-26 is the engine that was announced, so I'm a bit confused.
There were reports of a possible suspension of work on the PD-35 immediately after the PD-26 order was announced, specifically because the aircraft for it doesn't exist yet. If they've decided to continue work, it means the Chinese have probably reached an agreement with us. They need this engine specifically, the Americans (and the British) promised it to them, but now they've imposed an embargo on all aircraft components and engines. They simply haven't been allowed to buy PD-35 technology from us – either sign a long-term supply contract, or we're not interested. There will be no technology transfer. They then left to think. Perhaps they did come up with something. And in that case, continuing work makes sense. Otherwise, it would be an irrational use of design and financial resources. We're more concerned about other engines now, and the PD-35 could be postponed for five years. In any case, I will be glad if the work continues and this year the PD-35 begins testing on a flying laboratory.
But the PD-26 is truly needed for the PAK DA, as well as the Ruslans and the prospective super-heavy transport aircraft, the MS-21-500 (similar in range to the Il-86), and... perhaps for a twin-engine version of the Il-76MD or its equivalent, but with a wider cargo compartment. In other words, the PD-26 has a very promising future, and a very large and long-running series is expected.

[Sky strike fighter]

In addition, work has begun on the new PD-28, which is planned to be used on at least four aircraft.

So, did they finally decide to make the PD-28 instead of the PD-26? The previously provided diagrams of the PD-35 showed the PD-24 and PD-28 as technological copies, but with reduced thrust. I think that increasing the thrust by 2 tons from the originally planned 26 tons will not spoil anything.

The first production Il-114-300s will appear as early as autumn 2026. Why is India doing it earlier than Russia?

[bayard]

Quote: Azimutt

Why is it that India does it earlier than Russia?

This was reported by VGTRK journalists on the "Vremya" program from India, immediately after the contract was signed. A UAC representative confirmed this in an interview.

Quote: Azimutt

The first serial Il-114-300s will appear in the fall of 2026.

Perhaps there were no firm contracts concluded for them - supply contracts.
In any case, the news is good—it means the issues with production cooperation have been resolved. The question remains about the production volume of these aircraft, as previous announcements stubbornly stated "no more than 12 units per year." Considering export deliveries, that seems simply absurd. I hope the production rate will be sufficient and that within a few years, production will ramp up to at least 30 aircraft per year.

[Azimutt]

Only a memorandum of understanding and a preliminary agreement for six Il-114-300s have been signed with India. This isn't a firm contract yet; it will likely be signed once the first production aircraft are in production.
A total of 12 Il-114-300 aircraft are expected to be produced in 2027. However, this does not mean that the aircraft will be shipped immediately to India.

[bayard]

In an interview from India, from that very exhibition, after the contract was signed, where this was particularly emphasized, they named the start date for deliveries to India as 2027.
VGTRK journalists can, of course, lie, and often do, but as a rule they repeat the words of officials.

[Andrey Malashchenkov]

Strangled their own...,
Did you know that the RSFSR didn't have any of its own, not even a single one? They assembled engines from components produced in other republics. For example, all civil aviation engines were made in the Ukrainian SSR, etc.

[cosmos-PS]

We must remember that the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR were part of a single entity—the USSR. And even after the collapse of the USSR, cooperation between the republics remained. Development was possible under the new conditions. They began to stifle their own aviation industry even during the long-running problems with Ukraine. But in my opinion, our civil aviation wasn't stifled; they simply decided to forget about it. The West simply bought our officials to promote their aircraft in the civilian sector. Greed and shortsightedness have always been present in our bureaucracy. And indeed, in their opinion, things were going just fine: the civilian sector is saturated with aircraft, albeit foreign ones, the quality of the aircraft is high, spare parts are readily available, service is excellent, and they're still sneezing into their pockets. Superb. In the 90s and 00s, we built aircraft entirely from our own components, but, with rare exceptions, no one noticed them; they were uninteresting.

[Azimutt]

President Medvedev was the first to officially declare that unreliable domestic aircraft should be replaced by Western ones. He thereby gave airlines the go-ahead to stop buying Russian aircraft.

[2al]

For example, all engines for civil aviation were made in the Ukrainian SSR, etc.

Where in the USSR were engines made for the Tu-16, Tu-104, Il-14, Il-62, Tu-144, Tu-154, Il-86?

[would]

The bitter truth is that when Airbus and Boeing were launched, the aviation industry was already in disarray. Literally.

Production chains were disrupted by the sudden emergence of borders, and the production facilities themselves were being split up everywhere.

Here's another question: Why didn't they start rebuilding the aviation industry as soon as the opportunity arose?

[alexoff]

The US's main demand for Russia's admission to the WTO was the elimination of subsidies to the aviation industry. We haven't talked about this at all domestically, but abroad they're aware, and the ChatGPT, for example, readily told me about it. He exposed the creators, so to speak.

[Ban Zai]

[alexkff]

And what are the doubts?

[esl462]

You don't understand the difference between a low-wing aircraft and a high-wing aircraft?

[D16]

Low-wing aircraft have their advantages, and they're larger than the An-24 and considerably more expensive. The doubts lie not in the wing installation method, but in the size of the payments. After all, the An-24s were given to airlines practically for free. That's why they're still so attached to them.

[alexkff]

Well, in theory, yes, although civil aviation is constantly evolving, and it's likely to have developed equipment that requires something more modern. Our aircraft must be competitive in foreign markets for the aviation industry to be profitable.

China, as usual.

Most likely, although it would still be nice if microchip development were carried out in the Russian Federation.

In theory, yes, although civil aviation is not standing still and equipment has certainly appeared there that requires something more modern.

The joke that modern airplanes fly on 376 processors is confirmed by the operation of modern equipment.
I recently picked up a plane, and the Logbook entry read: "The right computer is giving results with a delay of minutes..." And it's even funnier when the left and right navigation displays start 'flying' in different directions. We're waiting in dread for the touchscreen...

[NordOst16]

Well, that's good news. I'm not talking about hardware issues.

I'm glad that they finally brought it to the end!

The plane is currently being tested in Yakutia at extremely low temperatures.

- Yes, there haven't been any extremely low temperatures in Yakutia this year. In Yakutsk, the temperature hasn't dropped below 48 degrees, and last week it was like Africa, around 30 degrees; today it was -24...

The first takeoff and landing from a snow-covered dirt runway have already been completed.

- It's not that difficult - the ground is frozen, but the ground strips are much more dangerous for the heat...

there were no extremely low temperatures this year

At an altitude of 6-8 km, the extremely low temperature is almost always -50-60 degrees C. On the ground, low temperatures are critical only for maintenance personnel and ground equipment.

[Nexcom]

Don't the plane's oil, fuel, and hydraulics freeze on the ground? At altitude, they're all already working and warmed up on the ground after launch, plus there are all sorts of POS systems. And on the ground, it's -40°C at night, or maybe just sitting there... No one would just idle their engines to warm them up... and you can't warm up the crankcase with a blowtorch like on a truck... so it's not a given that it'll start right away.

And all sorts of other things end capsHow will it behave in freezing weather: it froze and sent an incorrect signal to the system... Last week in Rovaniemi, the door of an A320 was kept open for four hours, or rather, they had to disassemble it to let the passengers out.

[Nexcom]

Exactly. Here in Koltsovo, it often gets to -35-37 degrees in the winter. The plane will sit overnight in the parking lot, and then the whole ordeal begins. My maternal grandfather worked there in the repair shop while he was alive. Even in Soviet times, a frozen plane wouldn't start up in a jiffy.

By 2030, 1000 passenger aircraft will be produced, by 2025, 1500 Armata tanks. By 2030, a lunar base will be built. And yet, only the communists were engaged in falsifying the figures and deceiving the people.

Apparently, not all the sympathizers were exposed. Yeltsin warned that communists had taken over sausage factories (the sausage supply wasn't great during his reign), but it seems they've also taken over airplanes, tanks, and the moon. And they continue to churn out their own galoshes instead of anything good...

[Nexcom]

The communists have taken up residence... in airplanes, tanks, and on the Moon.

So that's who killed Apollo 18 (there was a movie about that) and the American astronauts, it turns out!

Well, there's no need to lie completely. Not 1500 tanks, but 2300. And not by 2025, but initially by 2020.

A long-awaited plane.
Is it true what they say about his readiness?
Will there not be a desire to report on time at the cost of someone's life to an untested aircraft?

[Nexcom]

Aviators are reporting on their forum that yesterday the plane landed and took off from a heavily snow-covered runway in Magan. Everything seemed to go well. They're also worried. They're waiting for it back on the airfield with anticipation. The An-24s are already completely worn out. It's time to retire them.

Do you think specialized aircraft based on it would be suitable for Russia's size? But first, we need a concept for using such technology...

[Zaurbek]

The Hawkeye is coming and a bunch of small AWACS

[Pete mitchell]

The Hawkeye configuration was probably determined by the original concept: to protect the AUG, you don’t need to fly far, you need to stay in the zone for a long time.
The Swedes have transferred their AWACS to an Embraer jet. Given Russia's size, speed probably matters; it does offer quite a few advantages.

[Zaurbek]

Different dimensions have different applications. The US and Chinese Air Forces demonstrate and prove this.

[Pete mitchell]

Given the specifics of the MO-Zakupka connection, is there any point in wasting resources? And we return again to the issue of creating a concept for its application, so as not to turn any good design initiative into a managerial whim. And any initiative in the ADRLO/REB/REP/REM field will run into communication and ACS...
Among the Americans

[Zaurbek]

But it seems to me that everything has been thought up long ago...there are leading countries in this like Israel and the USA.
And all the scenarios have already been devised. And the dimensions have already been determined due to technological progress. The B-737, aircraft like the Il-114, and business jets (depending on the needs). The Il-114 might not have enough power to power the radar.

Maybe it's all made up, but them And for their conditions. How can all this be adapted to the conditions and requirements of the Russian Federation? Who will handle this? Znamenskaya Street
Everything must be in order: concept, task, capabilities, implementation...responsibility, otherwise it will be like it has happened many times before. And then there's the time crunch.

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

It's gratifying, gratifying. One can only imagine what everyone involved had to endure. After the "roller" that rolled through practically every industry since the early 90s. And an aircraft of this type consists of tens of kilometers of cables and wires alone, hundreds of thousands of parts and components. And then there's the human factor. How many specialists has the aviation industry lost since the early 90s?

[Scientist_]

Quote from Scientist

Another noodle on the ears.

You are simply a professional in this type of activity.

[would]

In fact, the aircraft's readiness doesn't raise any particular questions. The fact is, the Il-114 first flew back in 1990. Everything was ready for production, but the USSR collapsed, and production chains were disrupted by the sudden emergence of borders. And then, the production facilities themselves began to be divided.

But the project remains! And the IL-114-300 is an attempt to slightly refine the design for modern realities. The main change is the new engines, the same as those on the IL-112 military transport aircraft. And it's these engines that are the main issue, not the aircraft itself.

[Neptus]

Quote: rait

The IL-114-300 is an attempt to slightly modify the design to suit modern realities.

You're completely out of the loop. The plane has been completely redesigned. The wing's V-angle has been changed, improving lateral stability with the flaps fully extended (on older aircraft, the flaps weren't fully extended), which dramatically reduces takeoff and landing speed and distance.
And the engine is different TV7-117ST-01 , less powerful than the 112th TV7-117ST (without -01), where they overdid it with forcing.

[would]

And the engine is different TV7-117ST-01, less powerful than the 112th TV7-117ST

The TV7-117ST-01 is an improved version of the TV7-117SM. Developed since 2014 by UEC-Klimov for use in the Il-112V aircraft, production began in 2016. In 2017, the decision was made to also install it on the Il-114-300. Maximum takeoff power is 3000 hp, and in the enhanced emergency mode, 3600 hp. With a dry weight of no more than 500 kg, the engine has a specific fuel consumption of less than 200 grams per hp per hour.

The Il-112v is currently planning to have the TV7-117ST-02If you believe open sources.

[Nexcom]

as they officially write:

Il-112V program status

The investigation into the Il-112V crash has been completed. The commission's findings will not be published.
The aircraft's development has been suspended pending a decision by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
It is planned that the Il-112V will receive a PD-8 engine, the wing will be redesigned, and the aircraft will be named Il-212.
Thus, the LVTs project with a turboprop engine has been postponed indefinitely.

[would]

Thanks for the information! I know about the disaster, I know about the Il-212, but I didn’t know about the fact that the Il-112v was “put on the back shelf.”

[Nexcom]

You're welcome. We have a website called aviation21.ru, where they often post information about our aviation projects, press releases, and many other interesting things (if you're interested).

[Sky strike fighter]

The Il-112V project has been cancelled. It will be replaced by the Il-212 with a PD-8 engine.

"The Il-112V project will be significantly redesignated and will receive a new designation—Il-212. The aircraft will retain as much of its predecessor's onboard equipment and avionics as possible, as well as its overall fuselage. At the same time, it will receive PD-8 engines instead of the "long-suffering" TV-117ST-02, developed specifically for the Il-112V," RIA Novosti reported.
It's worth noting that this information surfaced back in July of this year. At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2023), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov told reporters that the Il-112V military transport aircraft design would be modified.

https://dzen.ru/a/ZS2Mwmest2rIiYe9

[Nexcom]

The V was redesigned so the flaps would fully extend during takeoff and the new propeller wouldn't scrape the concrete. It was also redesigned to use slightly different landing gear—the TV7-117ST-01 would be slightly heavier than the Canadian engine that powered the Soviet version of the aircraft. At least, that's what they wrote.

[2al]

The TV7-117ST-01 (ODK-Klimov) is a modern Russian turboprop engine (TPE) for the Il-114-300, providing takeoff power of up to 3100 hp. Compared to the PW-127 (Pratt & Whitney, USA), often installed on similar engines (ATR-72), the TV7-117ST-01 is characterized by higher takeoff power, but initially had a shorter service life compared to the high performance of its American counterpart.
Comparison of TV7-117ST-01 and Pratt & Whitney PW-127M/H:
Purpose: The TV7-117ST-01 was developed specifically for the Russian Il-114-300 regional jet. The PW-127M/H is the standard for ATR-72 aircraft.
Power: TV7-117ST-01 (takeoff mode up to 3100 hp) exceeds PW-127 in maximum power.
Resource: PW-127 series H is known for its high resource (up to 6000 hours and more), while the first series TV7-117 had a significantly lower resource.
Control: Both engines use modern electronic control systems (FADEC), however, the TV7-117ST-01 is optimized for the specific Russian operating conditions and SV-34 propellers.
TV7-117ST-01 - Dry weight: 515 kg.
PW-127M/H - weight 480 kg

[Nexcom]

TV7-117ST-01 - Dry weight: 515 kg.
PW-127M/H - weight 480 kg

and what's the contradiction? I think I wrote that our engine is somewhat heavier.
Engine dry weight is the weight of the engine without the oil, coolant, and fuel added to its systems. This weight is determined with all equipment installed on the engine necessary for its operation.

i.e. when it is "filled with everything necessary" - well, it will probably add another 550-600 kg in weight.

[2al]

No contradictions, just specification clarification. Also, takeoff power is 200 hp higher than the PW-127H.

[Nexcom]

It's very good that ours is more powerful - you can never have too many horses.
You never know what might happen—you'll need power, but there's none, and there's no way to get it. The main thing is to keep it from guzzling fuel like crazy.
and so - everything looks decent - more powerful and hasn't added much mass - there's no hellish overweight compared to its analogue.

[Amateur]

The Il-114-300 will be ready for regular flights by the end of this summer.

Do the planes actually exist? Or is it just their readiness, and the planes will definitely be there someday?
ps
About 20 aircraft were built at the Tashkent Aircraft Plant (TAROiCh), six of which, powered by PW-127H engines, Hamilton Sundstrand propellers, and Honeywell auxiliary power units, even flew domestic flights in Uzbekistan in the 1920s. They were later decommissioned.
