The creation of a Russian-Belarusian prototype aircraft "Osvey" is proceeding according to the agreed plan. This was stated by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
We should receive the technical design in April, after that continue joint financing of the work that provides for both the working design stage and, in fact, the subsequent construction of a prototype and access to static and flight tests.
