Representatives of the Virazh group of aviation companies (part of the Aerohimflot alliance) visited the Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA) in Yekaterinburg. They proposed their improvements to the new LMS-901 Baikal aircraft with VK-800 engines.
During the discussion with the aircraft designers, the aviators made a number of proposals to optimize the operation of the aircraft for chemical treatment of fields.
It's great that now, at the creation stage, we can foresee the technological units that we need. Our group of companies processes more than half of all rice crops in the Krasnodar Territory, and rice processing involves large consumption rates of preparations - up to 200 liters or kilograms per 1 hectare. This must be taken into account.
Also, representatives of the group offered UZGA assistance in creating innovative agricultural equipment for Baikal to meet modern standards in the field of environmental protection.
The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Anton Alikhanov, stated thatLMS-901 "Baikal" with VK-800 engines will take to the skies as early as 2025 after the completion of laboratory work on the power plant.
Earlierwww1.ru reported thatthe legendary Tu-134 will receive an unexpected purpose in the Moscow region.
