Russian Civil, Cargo and Special Missions Aircrafts

[Barmaley]

The Civil, Cargo and Special Missions Aircrafts share a lot of common technologies and especially Special Missions Aircraft being build mostly on the civil aircrafts platforms.

So this is thread for the Russian AWACS, SIGINT, Cargo and Civil aircrafts of all classes. Jets and turbo fun powered.

A bit of history:

The world's first commercial airliner and then became the world's first strategic bomber - S-22 "ILYA Muromets". It was designed by legendary Russian engineer Igor Sikorsky who would give the world many other flying machines throughout the 20th century including helicopters.
1913 year

MS-21
The main designer: Yakovlev Design Bureau

The MS-21 is a mid-range Russian jet airliner with a capacity of 150-212 passengers being developed and to be produced by Irkut and Yakovlev Design Bureau of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) group.

presentation with 3D renders.

Currently status of program is assembling the first flying prototype.

The first public shown in June 2016. The first fly in December 2016. The first serial delivery after trials and certification in 2017-18 year.

To succeed in this highly competitive market, Irkut´s aircraft will have to offer a good performance and a greater fuel efficiency than its competitors. MS-21 will have a lower empty weight, a better aerodynamics and more efficient engines. The company is confident that if the MS-21 can use composites in a way that reduces weight and manufacturing costs.

Production of components such as wings, tail, fuselage components shown in video.

The MS-21 can be powered by the PD-14 and by PW1400G engines. Depend from buyer.

The avionics and program software for MS-21 were designed by the KRET corporation. After certification, the avionics can be installed on many jet liners, including modernized SSJ100NG and others aircrafts.

The "Steel Bird" - a test bed for the chassis and others components and mechanisms of the aircraft.

The chassis for MS-21 were designed and build by "Gidromash" company.

A bit later, i'll upload information about MS-21 and others aircrafts
