The IL-114-300 turboprop passenger aircraft will be presented at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS in the summer of 2023. This was announced by Yury Slyusar, head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
“Assembly of prototypes continues in Lukhovitsy. We are building an airplane. We will show it at MAKS. Work on the aircraft continues. We are in close contact with our colleagues from UEC,” he said.
The resumption of certification tests of the aircraft is expected in the near future. At the end of 2022, certification of the engine TV7-117ST-01, which is installed on the IL-114-300, was completed.
Aircraft flights were suspended in August 2021 after the crash of light military transport aircraft Il-112V, which during one of the test flights burst into flames on one of the engines TV7-117ST.
