Engineers at the Voronezh Aircraft Manufacturing Company (VASO, a branch of PJSC Il) rolled out the fuselage of the Il-96-300 medium and long-range passenger aircraft from the general assembly slipway. The main work on the slipway assembly of the 18-ton aircraft was completed in three months - a record time, according to UAC.
According to Yuri Shestakov, head of the VASO assembly and fabrication production, the employees of the fuselage assembly shop, the fabrication and stamping shop, and the mechanical assembly shop worked well. By the end of March, off-slipway work will be carried out on the aircraft fuselage and it will be transferred to the final assembly shop.
According to the UAC plan, the aggregators of the second Il-96-300 will be sent to the final assembly. Thus, VASO will reach the planned production rate of 2 aircraft per year. This corresponds to the corporation's program for the development of civil aviation.
Russia also plans to develop a new light military transport aircraft Il-212, which will replace the An-26 and An-72. The production of a prototype should be completed by the end of 2026. UAC has already begun preparing a technical project.
