The launch of production of upgraded Il-114 aircraft will require about 24 billion rubles of investments, governor of Samara Region, Nikolai Merkushkin, told RIA Novosti.

Earlier the Deputy Chairman of Russian Government, Dmitry Rogozin, said that President Vladimir Putin supports the idea of developing a passenger aircraft derived from Il-114. According to Rogozin, China is interested in joint production of the aircraft. He also added that this vehicle is able to carry out patrol missions on behalf of the Ministry of Defense.

"In order to launch the production of Il-114 we will need around 24 billion rubles allocated from the federal budget", — Merkushkin said noting that he hopes that the production will be launched in Samara Region. He believes that Aviacor is one of the most suitable enterprises for this task.

"The government will have to invest a lot of money, but Aviacor is a private company. Will the private company be able to invest money on parity basis? What relations will be established between the parties? And so on. This is the big problem. We are working on it… We will negotiate with the owner", — the governor added. Merkushkin also added: "We are ready to support the project no matter how complex the budget will be".

In August President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, instructed the government, Ministry of Defense, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to Privolzhsky Federal District (and other organizations involved) to estimate the cost of a project for launching mass production of Il-114 aircraft at Aviacor aviation plant (Samara). Experts told RIA Novosti that the vehicle needs significant upgrade; in particular, the engines and all the avionics must be replaced.

Il-114 turboprop was developed by Ilyushin design bureau in 1980s for operation on regional routes. According to some sources, less than 20 Il-114s have been manufactured. Later a number of civil and military versions of the aircraft have been developed.

Aviacor is the aviation plant, one of the Russian aircraft industry’s largest enterprises. Its core business is aircraft production, repair, maintenance as well as deliveries of spare parts for Tu-154M and An-140 aircraft. The plant is one of Russian enterprises having experience in the area of mass production of civil and military aircraft (using components manufactured by the enterprise on its own). It is part of Russian Machines Corporation, which comprises machine-building assets of Basic Element Group.

Vladimir Putin approved the start of production of Il-114 aircraft in Russia

President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, approved the start of production of Il-114 aircraft in Russia, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government, Dmitry Rogozin, said. According to him, Il-112V and Il-114 projects were started “after tough negotiations”, Vzglyad reports.

«Quite recently the president approved the start of production of this turboprop aircraft. This will help us develop the segment of regional air transportation,» Rogozin said.

During his speech delivered at the ceremony dedicated to the opening of Aviation and Cosmonautics – 2014 conference held in Moscow Aviation Institute Dmitry Rogozin said that Russia is destined for development of high technologies.

«Russia is destined for development of high technologies. It is the essential “business card” for any large and respected country. What the future holds for our aviation, cosmonautics and engine building? I think the answer is obvious,» he said.

Dmitry Rogozin explained that both “aviation and cosmonautics speed up the development of other industries”. «In fact these are the high technologies that should help Russia decrease its dependence on oil and gas,» he added noting that the country must train high-skilled specialists in light of this situation.

We remind you that production of the first light military-transport Il-112V aircraft was put on hold at the site of Voronezh Aircraft Manufacturing Company (also known as VASO) in July 2011. Following the results of meeting held at Ilyushin design bureau Rogozin said that the parties made a decision to speed up the development and start of mass production of Il-112V light military-transport aircraft.

It was reported in August that the first Il-112V flying prototype will be manufactured in 2015 and its flight testing will be started. Il-112V should replace the outdated An-24 aircraft operated by Russian armed forces.

In October 2014 Dmitry Rogozin said that President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, supported the idea of development of a new aircraft derived from Il-114.

Earlier representatives of Samara-based Aviacor aviation plant told Vladimir Putin at a meeting held in Samara that the enterprise is ready to start the aircraft’s mass production in 5 years; the project was assessed at 10–12 billion rubles.

"12 billion rubles is a large sum of money, but not in terms of this project", - the president noted and instructed the government to assess the expenses.

On October 13th Rogozin said that China is interested in joint production of an upgraded passenger version of Il-114 aircraft. On September 9th Dmitry Rogozin said that Ilyushin Company is ready to start mass production of Il-114 aircraft.

In August President of Russia Vladimir Putin instructed the government to evaluate the feasibility of the project for launching mass production of Il-114 regional aircraft at Samara-based Aviacor enterprise.

Development of Il-114 twin-engine aircraft was started in early 1980s; the turboprop should have replaced Yak-40 and Tu-134 aircraft. The vehicle performed its maiden flight in 1990; the type certificate for Il-114 was issued seven years later.

I just did that because the Il-112 and Il-114 programs are likely to be closely related, and the circumstances of their revival are basically the same thing... pig headedness of the current government in Kiev.

Admit it - you just did it coz they're only 1 digit away from each other

First Samples of Updated IL-114 to Appear in 2019

The RF Ministry of Defense and aviation complex them. S.v. Ilyushin "signed a Government contract to conduct research and development to create a light military transport aircraft IL-112v.

The contract provided for the construction of two prototype planes, one for static testing and resource, the second is to conduct flight tests. Completion of the prototype planes built under the terms of the contract are scheduled in the year 2016, in the same year, the first flight of the flight model is planned.

Video about Il-114 revival:

Is it now a totally localized production? Or will they still import some parts from Uzbekistan? Thanks

I suspect it will be fully localised...

Finally, the obvious comes out. Also funny considering Rogozin's babbling on the topic.

New president of UAC says making Il-114 in current form is pointless. They are looking at making a new plane with some commonality with Il-112.
Commonality might include engines, wing, and electronics. Fuselage will come from Il-114- but will be widened, so factually be new.

Assuming they even decide to go through with it.

In my humble opinion, they should just make a civilian version of the Il-112. that would be the most cost-effective solution.

Something like the AN-24 (civilian) and AN-26 (cargo) duo.

Actually looking at the design parameters on wiki they are both max 20-25 ton max weight aircraft with payloads of 4-6 tons with similar range and performance... I guess it would make rather more sense just to adapt the Il-112 design to whatever the Il-114 can do that the current Il-112 can't.. ie wider or taller or whatever.

IL-112B Aircrafts to Be Equipped with Engines TV7-117ST

Development of Il-112V aircraft should be completed by 2020

Ilyushin Company is going to complete development of Il-112V light military-transport aircraft by 2020, RIA Novosti reports with reference to Deputy Director General on Program Management of Ilyushin Company, Sergey Artyukhov.

“The development should be completed by 2020,” Artyukhov said.

The contract with Russian Ministry of Defense for development of the aircraft was signed in December 2014. At present the development of design documentation is being completed; VASO is starting preparation for launching production of the turboprop.

In December Ilyushin Company reported that the first two Il-112V prototypes would be manufactured in 2016; they will be used for testing. The aircraft’s maiden flight is scheduled for the same year. About 30 Russian enterprises and around 50 suppliers will be involved in development of Il-112V.

Il-112V is designed for transportation, airlift delivery and paradrop of light combat vehicles and weapons, cargo and troopers as well as commercial cargo transportation.

Ilyushin Company was established in 1933 (part of United Aircraft Corporation). The company specializes in development, upgrade and testing of aircraft, preparation and support of aircraft production as well as provision of continued airworthiness of operated Il aircraft; it is cooperating with the Russia’s leading suppliers, scientific research organizations and the largest air carriers.

So what they are talking about is a 6 ton payload aircraft to replace the An-24 and An-26 and An-32, so really you could probably get away with two versions of the Il-112, with one using standard engines of modest performance with a passenger model and a cargo model to replace the An-24 and An-26 respectively to make it cheap and effective in those roles, while an uprated version with more powerful engines for operations in hot and high environments to replace the An-32.

The Il-112T transport model has already been proposed and the Il-112V (confusingly the Il-112V and Il-112B are the same aircraft with the B and V being the cyrillic/latin equvalents... ie B in cyrillic is a V in the English language.)

In such a case what we would need is a new model Il-112 with a lot more power for taking off at high altitudes and hot conditions.. the engines in the other versions are about 2,500hp engines so something in the 4-5,000hp range would be useful or perhaps a light jet engine...

Actually a jet version could also replace the An-72 in service... and of course when they are all entering service the An-140 can be used till they are worn out and then replaced with more Ilyusions too.

The company "Ilyushin" is working for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation on the draft of the IL-112V. The plane carrying capacity 6 tons should replace the old An-26 aircraft.

Russia's New Military Transport Plane Set to Make Its Maiden Flight in 2017

The Ilyushin Il-112, Russia's brand new light military transport plane, is slated to make its maiden flight in 2017, said Yury Borisov, a Russian Deputy Minister of Defense.

The aircraft's mass production is expected to be launched in 2019.

The twin-engine turboprop plane, developed by the Ilyushin Aviation Complex (JSC IL), will be manufactured by the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association at an aircraft plant in Voronezh, located some 400 kilometers (250 miles) south of Moscow. It will replace the Antonov An-26.

Russia's Ministry of Defense plans to purchase at least 35 Ilyushin Il-112 planes. Earlier, JSC IL said the company was ready to deliver more than 60 Il-112 aircraft to the military.

The transport plane is designed to carry out missions in any geographic or weather conditions. It has a payload of 6 tons and can travel a maximum distance of 5,000 kilometers (3100 miles).

The project, launched over a decade ago, was canceled in 2011, but the work on the Il-112 resumed in 2013.

Serial production of turboprop TV7-117ST for IL-112V will begin in 2020

Number of purchased military transport aircrafts Il-112B can be reduced

George1 wrote:Number of purchased military transport aircrafts Il-112B can be reduced

The news is related not to the total number of purchased aircraft, but those purchased for the first state acquisition program - the one up to 2020.

Comments claim that the reason is likely due to delays in organizing the production of the aircraft; it may not be ready for production until 2019; which will make the acquisition of 62 aircraft until 2020 very unlikely and the plans will have to be changed to become more modest.

Draft organization of serial production of Il-114-300

The business plan of the project "Organization of serial production of Il-114-300 at the industrial site of "Aviacor-Aviation Plant "(Samara) in broad cooperation with the enterprises of RAO "KLA" and of "UAC" posted on the website of the Tyumen MTU FATA.

The business plan has been prepared in fulfillment of a protocol meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation of 10.10.2014 № RD-P7-58pr. Approved in 2014. Director of the airline business OOO "Russian Machines", General Director of JSC "RCD" and Vice-President of JSC "UAC".

The project is the organization of production of family aircraft IL-114-300 in the Russian Federation based on the following presuppositions:

• The needs of regional airlines in the Russian passenger aircraft for regional and commuter passenger capacity up to 64 people to replace obsolete fleet, especially the Yak-40 and An-24 decommissioned because of the development of resources and the replacement of aircraft fleet of foreign manufacture ATP-42; ATR-72 on the program of import substitution;
• The needs of the airlines of the Russian Federation in the cargo airplane with a payload of up to 7 tons and a range of up to 1000 km;
• Creation of the aircraft on the ski-wheeled chassis for operation in the Far North and Antarctica in the framework of the "Strategy of development of the activities of the Russian Federation in the Antarctic for the period up to 2020 and for the longer term", approved by the Federal Government of 30 October 2010. Number 1926 p .;
• Creation of special purpose aircraft for the needs of the Russian Defense Ministry, the Federal Security Service, Ministry of Emergency Situations et al., as well as to supply to foreign customers.

The aim of the project is to start serial production of a fully localized civil regional aircraft IL-114-300 at the production site of "Aviacor Aviation" factory in Samara on the basis of modern high-performance equipment and the latest technology.

The main objectives of the project are:
• Implementation of the ROC on completion of the IL-114-300 to market requirements;
• Digitizing documents modernized version of the Il-114-300;
• Modernization of power "Aviacor-Aviation Plant"

• Restoring the serial production of engines TV7-117SM and works to increase resources up to 6000 hours.
• Promotion of products to target segments of the domestic and world market;
• Organization of after-sales service.

Characterization of the IL-114-300

IL-114-300 is intended for transportation of passengers, cargo, mail and should be used with paved runways Class A, B, C, D and GVPP with soil density of 7.5 kg / cm2 (5.5 kg / cm 2 while limiting takeoff weight), the outdoor temperature from -50 ° C to + 45 ° C. The scheduled performance should not be worse than the certified basic Il-114. The Il-114-300 applied modern
Russian flight control and navigation system TSPNK-114M2. Turboprop TV7-117SM capacity of 2650 hp with low noise six-bladed propellers NE-34.03, provide high fuel efficiency and low noise levels according to international standard ICAO Annex 16 Chapter 4 as the auxiliary power unit used TA-14-114.

During operation of the lab IL-114LL in NPP "Radar MMS" was, in practice, confirmed the feasibility of creating a platform for the IL-114 family of aircraft special aviation patrol aircraft, airborne command post aircraft, and aerial photography.

IL-114-300 will have a range of up to 4,800 kilometers with a load of 1000 kg and 1000 kg to 3250 km., With a maximum fuel capacity - up to 5600 km. All fuel consumption during the flight with maximum fuel will be 550 kg / h.
As shown in the business plan according to a comparison of competing transport capacity aircraft types indicates that IL-114-300 largest maximum capacity is intermediate between the aircraft ATR-72 and AN-140. The flight range of the aircraft IL-114-300 with maximum payload is comparable with the range of aircraft ATR-72 and O400. When flying at a distance of 1-3 thousand. Km mass payload aircraft IL-114-300 is almost equivalent to the specified terms of the An-140. However, on a more long-haul routes Il-114-300 is completely superior to its competitors. According to the compilers of the report, the transport capacity of the aircraft IL-114-300 fully competitive in comparison with the characteristics of the aircraft peers.

Assessment of the volume of sales of various modifications based on the Il-114

IL-114-300 is the only certified platform for the special Russian aircraft in the class of aircraft carrying capacity to 10 tons. The total market potential aircraft special modifications, created on the basis of Il-114-300, is estimated at 170 until 2030. Domestic demand for special class aircraft IL-114-300 is valued at 100 units until 2030. According to plans of the SDO in the period to 2020 the Russian Defense Ministry plans to buy 12 special class aircraft IL-114-300.
