“We expect that the first flight of the Yak-152 will take place in September-October of this year. Now the Irkutsk Aviation Plant is already producing parts of this aircraft. In the Ramenskoye design bureau, the creation of an aircraft control complex, the adjustment of algorithms are in full swing, ”he said. "Voennoe.rf".
Taskaev noted that at the end of last year, the aircraft mockup commission had summarized its comments on the draft. Currently, these adjustments are made to the documentation.
“After the first flights, we expect to relocate the aircraft to Zhukovsky (to the airfield of the Gromov Flight Research Institute), where we will bring it to the transfer to state tests. They will be held in 2016 year, ”he added.
In 2014, the Yakovlev Design Bureau won the tender for the creation of the Yak-152 for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The cost of the project is about 300 million rubles. It is planned that the new machine will be a piston with a diesel power unit. Flying on it will allow young pilots to master the Yak-130 jet faster and easier, after which they will be able to fly combat aircraft. Previously there were reports that the first flight of the Yak-152 is scheduled for 2015 year, and he will begin to arrive in the troops no later than 25 in November of the next year.
