United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), a subsidiary of Rostec state-run company, has released footage of a demonstration flight of its Il-114-300 regional turboprop aircraft in India.
The aircraft was exhibited at an international aviation exhibition. Wings India The plane took off from Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad, where the event is being held.
The flight took place in a circular profile, covering more than 500 km over an hour and reaching a maximum speed of 425 km/h.
UACThe flight corresponded to a typical regional route operation and clearly demonstrated the high efficiency of the Il-114-300 in missions aimed at developing regional aviation networks. The aircraft is designed to operate autonomously from short runways, including small airfields with limited infrastructure.
Due to the sanctions imposed after the start of the war in Ukraine, some foreign components used in the Il-114-300 were replaced with Russian-made systems and components. These renovations are part of an effort to domesticate the program while maintaining a schedule of testing and international exhibitions.
The Il-114-300 is certified for operation in a wide range of climatic conditions, from the harsh regions of the Arctic and Siberia to mountainous regions, as well as tropical, subtropical, and high-temperature environments. This is a feature that greatly expands operational possibilities in emerging markets and difficult-to-reach regional routes.
The Wings India exhibition will be held in Hyderabad from January 28 to 31, bringing together aircraft manufacturers, airlines and authorities from the international aviation industry.
