The flight took place in a circular course profile, lasted over an hour, covered more than 500 km, and reached a maximum speed of 425 km/h.
UACAccording to , this flight was similar to a typical regional air operation and clearly demonstrated the high efficiency of the Il-114-300 in missions aimed at developing regional air routes. This aircraft is designed to operate autonomously on short runways, including small airfields with limited infrastructure.
As a result of sanctions imposed after the outbreak of war in Ukraine, some foreign components used in the Il-114-300 were replaced with Russian-made systems and components. These adjustments are part of an effort to promote localization of the program while maintaining testing schedules and international exhibition plans.
The Il-114-300 is certified to operate in a variety of climatic conditions, from the harsh environments of the Arctic region and Siberia to mountainous regions, tropical/subtropical and high-temperature climates. This is an element that expands the possibility of use in emerging markets and difficult-to-access regional routes.
The Wings India exhibition will be held in Hyderabad from January 28 to 31, bringing together manufacturers, airlines and relevant authorities from the international aviation industry.
