New TV7-117ST-01 turboprop engines developed by the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) have clocked over two thousand hours on Il-114-300 aircraft as part of certification flight tests, the company said.
Prototype aircraft have performed over 250 flights, Rostec emphasized. Il-114-300 aircraft are being created in cooperation with leading domestic developers and manufacturers under the auspices of UAC and include only systems and equipment of Russian production.
A power plant consisting of two such products surpasses foreign analogues in a number of characteristics. In particular, the engine develops increased power in takeoff mode while maintaining high fuel efficiency for its class.
The Il-114-300 will replace the An-24, ATR-42/72, Bombardier Q-300, CRJ-100/200 on local airlines, which will improve the transport connectivity of the country's regions.
The aircraft has improved flight performance, installed a new digital flight and navigation system, and increased the use of composite materials.
