The company "Rusaviaprom" has completed the delivery of four TВС-2МС for the airline "SibAeroCraft" from Tomsk. The last aircraft successfully passed tests at the Beryozkino airfield in Tomsk and went to the customer. Specialists checked all aircraft systems and evaluated its flight characteristics.
The tests were conducted by an experienced crew: test pilots Anton Bibaev and Dmitry Shadrin, as well as leading engineer of the flight test center Viktor Nosov.
Special attention was paid to the new Honeywell ТРЕ-331-12 engine with a capacity of 1100 hp. Anton Bibaev noted its excellent responsiveness to control and good acceleration. This makes the aircraft maneuverable and safe.
During six flights with a total duration of 8.5 hours, there were no serious problems with the aircraft systems. The take-off and landing distances were reduced to 70 and 100 meters, respectively.
The TВС-2МС aircraft is a deeply modernized version of the Soviet An-2 biplane, which was known as a reliable worker in small and agricultural aviation. Currently, the TВС-2МС transports passengers on socially significant routes in various regions of Russia, including Irkutsk, Chita, Magadan and Blagoveshchensk.
