The plans to begin production of long-range wide-body Il-96-400M (an upgraded version of the Il-96-300) and regional aircraft based on the Il-114 stated on 27 May, the college of Industry and Trade, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. Their release will be engaged in the enterprise, members of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) - Voronezh Aviation-Building and the Nizhny Novgorod plant "Sokol", respectively.
The cost of both development programs - 50 billion rubles. But the scale of the planned issue turned out to be small.
Long-range vessels planned to produce six regional - a maximum of 100, told "Vedomosti" a federal official and a person close to the KLA. These figures are confirmed by another federal official, adding that the number of IL-96 can be increased to eight.
IL-96-400M (more than 400 seats, the release is to begin in 2019) will be intended primarily for government agencies, primarily for special flight group "Russia", which carries high-ranking officials, saying the two sides "Vedomosti". Commercial building he will not have as an outdated, inefficient fuel consumption of the aircraft, they explain. Last modification of the Il-96-300 is not produced since 2009 is discussed the idea of subsidizing lease the aircraft to the payment receives approximately twice lower than the competing Boeing-777 and Airbus330; may be interested individual carriers, given that fuel is cheaper and efficiency gains are not so fundamental, objection to the second official.
In Irkutsk rolled MC-21 aircraft
In Irkutsk, showed the plane MS-21 Russian rival Boeing 737 and Airbus 320/321 will fly next year
Modernize the IL-114 (. Developed in the 1980s) will be released 50-100 Planned capacity - 64 seats, a federal official said. In 2019-2023 gg. is expected to release 20-25 cars, and then depending on the demand to increase this number to 100, he knows a person close to the KLA. Up to 2019 will be completed six Il-114, located at the plant in Tashkent, told "Vedomosti" a source in the KLA before.
Now Russia 100-150 operated by regional jets of different sizes even of Soviet development, continued the official. This market is not deeply investigated, he admits, but the survey showed the need of operators in approximately 50 new vessels. In the IL-114 fuselage redesign to make the plane easier to finalize the engines, says a person close to the KLA. If the updated version will be successful, then the aircraft may appear export potential, he hopes.
"With such scale release of any one program, of course, does not pay off - says the federal official. - But the KLA local problems: how some of their own widebody need to state structures as a regional aircraft - domestic airlines; besides the production capacity will be loaded. " However, resources are sprayed, he adds, because the future prospects of these models is not, in contrast to the short-range manufactured by KLA SSJ100 and developed medium-range MS-21 - the export potential of these aircraft will help to create new planes.
Release of IL-96 and IL-114 will be financed in the IV quarter in making adjustments to the budget, says the Industry and Trade Ministry. KLA spokesman declined to comment.
"The plane is only for the Russian market - deliberately unprofitable project - categorical leading researcher of the Institute of the Higher School of Transport Economics Economics Fedor Borisov. - In such projects, it is necessary to initially focus on the competitive product for the world market and make a profit, even in the mobilization of the economy. " However, the regional aircraft can be claimed, he admits: prevailing in the national park of the AN-24 flying a very long time. And demanded to create the world market on the basis of wide-body aircraft IL-96 is not possible, he said.

September 16, 2016, AEX.RU - Tests of a new rapid-aircraft guns for fighter of the 5th generation of the T-50 (Sukhoi PAK FA, the PAK FA) held on the ground in suburban Faustovo, RNS reports with reference to the corporate magazine of the United Aircraft Corporation "Horizons".

"Cannon 9-A1-4071K capable of hitting almost all modern armored targets. During one flight 150 caliber 30 mm ammunition can be used in the full expenditure of ammunition - high-explosive-incendiary (OFZ) and armor-piercing incendiary (KB) ", - said in a statement.

According to the publication, the new gun was the further development of the lightest in the world of 30-millimeter single-barrel aircraft cannon GS-301, which is equipped with the MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30, Su-33 and Su-35, as well as front-line bombers and Yak-38 vertical take-off and landing.

"Cannon 9-A1-4071K has a rate of fire of 1,500-1,800 rounds per minute, and the muzzle velocity of 860 meters per second. weapon weighs only 50 kilograms when the cartridge weight 832 grams and 390 grams of the projectile, "- said in a statement.

According to the magazine, the main feature of the guns - autonomous system vodoisparitelnogo cooling barrel. Unique base recoil type automation scheme has allowed to minimize the weight of the weapon and give the highest for 30-mm guns on the rate of one barrel. "Annular spring return and double-acting hydraulic brake effectively dissipate the excess energy of moving parts, automatic stabilizing work by firing queue" - the newspaper writes. The possibility of left and right belt power elektropirotehnicheskaya recharge, there is the counter balance sensor cartridges.

According to him, the deputy chief designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Vladimir Sokolov, "test on the earth will last for many months." "The tests have allowed us to identify weaknesses in the layout of the aircraft. Unfortunately, the design is not always possible to make the design perfect, "- said Sokolov, who was quoted by the publication.

Along with working cannons Sukhoi experts experienced in the stands Faustovo a number of other weapons systems T-50, as well as his life-support system. "In the future testers will debug operation of these systems and units already in full-scale" fifties "- T-50-SPS", - says the publication.

Rising Like a Phoenix: New Russian Airliner Engine Competes With Boeing, Airbus © Sputnik/ Mikhail Voskresenskiy

RUSSIA 18:35 13.09.2016(updated 00:21 14.09.2016) Get short URL 178536663 Speaking to reporters recently, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Rogozin announced that Russian engineers had successfully resolved an issue which has dogged the country's civil aviation industry since Soviet days: domestic aircraft engines' high fuel consumption. Aviation expert Boris Stepnov explains why Rogozin's words are not just empty boasting. Speaking to journalists during a visit to Voronezh Aircraft Plant last week, Rogozin said that Russia's new next-generation turbofan engine PD-14 engine has already found demand in the domestic civil aviation sector, and will help ensure that Russia's aviation industry reaches global standards in one important area – fuel efficiency. "As the result of the creation and testing of this engine, we are looking at a passenger liner which we can say with 100% certainty will be competitive with Boeing and Airbus, Rogozin, charged with curating the defense and aerospace sector, noted that PD-14 high-thrust engines, undergoing the final stages of development and testing, will be installed aboard an Ilyushin Il-96-300 (a four-engine long-haul wide-body airliner) by the end of the year. According to the deputy prime minister, the PD-14 will finally give Russian airlines a cost-effective alternative to US and European aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus, and without a compromise on quality. Commenting on the deputy prime minister's bold remarks, aviation journalist and PolitRussia contributor Boris Stepnov decided to explain why the comments weren't just posturing. "Previously," Stepnov noted, "airlines pointed to the lower fuel efficiency of Russian passenger aircraft: domestic liners require more fuel than their foreign counterparts for flights of equal distance. With the PD-14, that problem is expected to be eliminated." PD-14 stands for 'Perspective Engine with a 14-ton nominal thrust'. Designed for Russia's twin-engine Irkut MC-21 next-generation narrow-body short- to medium-range airliner, currently under development, the PD-14's variants can be equipped aboard other aircraft as well, including long-haul four engine jetliners. The engine's development began in 2008, on the basis of the PS-12, an updated variant of the PS-90; the engine is being developed by the Aviadvigatel Corporation in Perm, central Russia. "The goals of the engine's designers are ambitious," the journalist emphasized. "They want to capture over 10% of the market share for turbofan engines with a thrust class between 7 and 18 tons, and to reduce fuel consumption at cruising speed by 10-15% compared with contemporary engines of similar class." Moreover, engineers developed the engine to reduce operating costs by 14-17%, and to reduce maintenance costs during the engine's lifecycle by 15-20% compared to competitors. A special feature of the [PD-14] program is to immediately develop a whole family of engines with a thrust on takeoff of between 9 and 18 tons," Stepnov explained. This consists of several variants of the base engine, including the PD-14A, PD-14M, Pd-10, and PD-18R. Purposed to be mounted aboard the MC-21-200/300/400, the PD-18R variant of the engine will also be used aboard the Tupolev-214, a narrow-body medium-range jetliner developed in the early 1990s. Naturally, the aviation journalist noted, "an engine does not fly by itself, and here domestic designers also have something to show; the problem [of Russian civilian aviation] is being resolved on a systemic basis. In addition to the development of the new aircraft [the MS-21], existing solutions are being tactically applied. Speaking during his trip to Voronezh, Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin explained that "in the period prior to the creation of the fundamentally new aircraft…we will see the creation of the Il-96-400, which will be able to meet our basic needs both for long-haul flights from European Russia to the Far East, and for charter trips during the holiday season to those countries which require the use of large airliners…Through the reconfiguration of passenger seating, this will lead to an economy aircraft variant with no less than 400 seats; then cost of fuel per seat will change and we will definitely make it into the stringent requirements of airlines." © FLICKR/ CHRISTOPHER ROSE Turkey Approves 63 Weekly Charter Flights From Russia to Antalya In this sense, Stepnov noted, following its modification, the Il-96-400 "will be fully suitable for import-substitution in long-haul and charter flights," until the next generation of Russian airliners arrives. The Il-96-400, nearly 10 meters longer than its Il-96-300 predecessor, will feature 370 passenger seats on planes including business class, and 400 seats for the plane's all-economy version. At the same time, taking a hint from successes in the defense sector in the use of modular design, the Il-96-400 will feature multiple variants, including a transport modification – the Il-96-400T, which can also be used by military aviation. "The Ministry of Defense has [already] shown interest in the Il-96-400-T3 – a tanker variant of the aircraft," Stepnov noted. "And if the Il-78M-90 tanker used since the late 1970s has a range of 3,000 km and can transport 40 tons of fuel, the new Ilyushin will have a range of 3,500 km, and be able to carry up to 65 tons of fuel." "In this way, Russian engineers and manufacturers are working as part of a system, where individual components are pre-planned as part of a single system." "And we shouldn't forget [short-range] inter-regional flights either; here it is planned to use the Il-114, which will help close the gap on transport for distances up to 1,500 km, and can carry up to 70 passengers. This aircraft is developed to take account of the possibility of landing not just on an airstrip, but also on fields, on snow and ice. all these stories once again confirm that Russia has entrenched itself in the aircraft industry big leagues seriously and for the long term. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the production of civilian aircraft in Russia and other post-Soviet states ground to a halt, going from producing nearly 30% of global passenger airliners in 1990 to the low single-digits by the 2000s. Through the 1990s and through to the 2010s, Boeing and Airbus successfully ejected Russian companies from foreign markets, and then began pressing them inside Russia itself. In the late 2000s, several programs supported by the government were created to regain Russia's civil aviation manufacturing potential; their relevance gained a new appreciation after the worsening of relations between Russia and Western countries following the Maidan coup d'état in Ukraine in February 2014. Realizing the dangers posed by dependence on potentially hostile countries, the state urged companies to speed up the recreation of the domestic passenger aircraft industry.
