Ukraine is preparing for serial production of Ruslana and An-70

29


Ukrainian manufacturers are preparing for the mass production of the An-124 Ruslan transport aircraft and the An-70 medium-haul cargo aircraft.

This was announced at the press conference at Le Bourget by the President - General Designer of the Antonov State Enterprise Dmitry Kiva.

He said that Ukrainian manufacturers, together with partners, are completing the modernization of the An-124 Ruslan transport aircraft and are preparing for its mass production. "This is really a wonderful plane, although we do not present it here at Le Bourget. At the same time, we are completing work on its modernization and improvement of technical characteristics, as well as we are conducting preparatory work for its mass production," said D. Kiva.

The head of the state enterprise Antonov did not mention the specific date of the serial launch of the modernized An-124 Ruslan. "The deadlines for the completion of serial production preparation depend on the readiness of our Russian partner, since we plan to share production capacities of the Ulyanovsk plant," said D. Kiva.

In his opinion, it’s impossible to exceed the technical characteristics of the Ukrainian aircraft at the present time. “An-124 is a truly unique machine, an aircraft that has 150 tonnes carrying capacity, the world's largest transport aircraft, and it will be a miracle if someone surpasses its technical characteristics in the near future. Our Russian partners agree with that.” he added.

In addition, D. Kiva said that the serial Ukrainian-Russian production of the medium-range cargo aircraft An-70 will begin in two or three years.



"Ukraine started building the first An-70 aircraft, we rolled out the first fuselage from the stocks, we have the state order of this aircraft and continue to work, together with the Russian customer (Ministry of Defense) we are completing the tests. It remains 70 flights. So I hope that in the next 2 “3, the aircraft will be mass-launched,” he said.

The general designer of GP Antonov also said that the modernized An-70 received a new registration certificate.

The Ukrainian An-70 aircraft was in the top five of the aircraft, according to the demonstration flights of which the 50 International Aviation and Space Salon opened in the Paris suburb of Le Bourget. As Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said later, An-70 is much more advanced than its competitor A400M.

      All the same, Russians and Ukrainians are really very similar. Slogans, backlog of orders, surpasses all and wait soon. What they have, what we have, the same thing. True, unlike Ukraine, we have oil, gas and Putin (compared to Yanukovych, incomparable "+") hi
      And so an exhibition, that's an exhibition, to make loud statements at it, advertise goods and conclude contracts, only now no one believes the shepherdess who shouts: "wolves, wolves". Azarov has already said so much about contracts with gas, Ukrainian pensioners and how Gazprom devours them, shale gas and abroad will help us, as a rule, all these were plans and intentions, which in fact turned out to be "zilch". I would like to believe that Antonov will establish production, but it is getting harder and harder to believe hi

        The words "getting ready" and "ready" are different words. I am afraid that Ukrainian manufacturers will be preparing for many, many years to come.

        And this phrase is not quite clear to me:
        we plan to jointly use the production capacities of the Ulyanovsk plant, "D. Kiva said.


        I would like to hear the opinion of the Russian side about its plans for Aviastar. There is information that the plant is loaded with the production of new modified IL-76 and it is not known what place in the plans of the plant is given to the plans of Comrade Kiva.

        I suspect that the Ukrainian cart is harnessing again in front of the horse!

      There will be no joint aviation with Ukraine. Our authorities have now begun the correct policy of the whip, the population of Ukraine should realize that Nenko herself has torn herself both from the Russian market and from Russian resources. And if it will be possible to buy gas for pennies, and require us to produce their planes, as if the USSR is now, and bark at us from under the EU gateway, then there will be no talk of any kind of union. Local oligarchy and so good.

        the whip policy is a priori unpromising! Korea, Iran is a confirmation of this! This will only embitter the authorities in Ukraine at first, then the population and the result will be sad! People can live in peace and harmony for decades, but one conflict can remain in our memory for centuries! This is like walking on thin ice!

        What do you mean "their planes"? The aircraft industry is a common heritage inherited from the Soviet system, not Putin or Yanukovych (I’m not talking about Yushchenko). The strategic task is to integrate it again, and such projects are a good stone for this. And just in case - if anyone does not know - this is work, mainly (in terms of volume) for aircraft plants in the Russian Federation, avionics is Russian (for heavy aircraft, practically nothing has been done for many years), many components for Zaporozhye engines are also from here. Well, what about "sagging under the western partners" - so Putin did enough of this, and not to say that he gave up completely. Only Lukashenka did not do this

      So the fact of the matter is that "airplanes" are the integration available at this stage. And you thought it was Putin and Yanukovych standing in an embrace? And cool integration is when there is a cool neo-Soviet project. And now, at least so, sew what you can

    Ukraine famously disposed of Russia's production capabilities. First, the capacity of the Ulyanovsk plant has already been scheduled for the production of IL-76. We temporarily refused to release the An-124, since the Volgo-Dnepr company covers the entire market for international transportation of super-heavy cargo, moreover, the existing An-124 fleet in the Russian military transport aviation is forced to stand idle on the ground. I'm afraid of one thing, Ukraine will be able to craft one copy, thereby demonstrating the availability of the necessary technologies and selling the car to China, as it has already done with the Bison and other models of military equipment.

    AN-124 Ruslan piece goods there is not much need for it, but AN-70 is what the doctor ordered, but for a very long time they can’t offer it to the market, it seems the first flight was in 1994, and the market in the meantime is filled with competitors which at first may have lagged in parameters but now they’ve pulled themselves up and, most importantly, they are offering ready-made products but don’t promise to finish the tests just now. It’s clear that Antonov’s AKB does everything themselves without massive state support, and the project is going on hard and long, but if they bring to mind the demand for such an aircraft at an affordable price b udet.

    Turkey interested in joint production of An-Azarov aircraft
    Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov considers the Turkish market promising for the sale of aircraft of the AN line. The head of government said this during the work of the 50th Le Bourget International Aerospace Show in France, the press service of the CMU reports.
    “I had an interesting conversation with representatives of the Turkish company. They are interested in organizing joint production: assembling them, and our delivery,” N. Azarov noted.

      Not so long ago before that, was also "interesting conversation" regarding the construction of a gas regasification terminal ... with the Gishpan ski instructor. Even the contractor waved without looking.
      "He was identified by the Ukrainian agency for national projects as one of the main parties to the agreement, along with the head of the department, Vladislav Kaskiv. Jordi Sarda Bonvehi, as Reuters found out, is a 43-year-old ski instructor and now a businessman from Barcelona."
