Il-112V/Il-212 light military transport

Ilyushin plans to master the printing of parts for IL-112V on a 3D printer

MOSCOW, July 9. / TASS /. The new military transport aircraft IL-112V in the future can get some simple details printed on a 3D printer. The journalists were told about this in the press service of the KLA's Transport Aviation Division.

"Experts of PJSC Il and Voronezh Aviation Plant (VASO) printed a mock-up of an air intake of a complex design for installation on the first flight sample of a light military transport aircraft IL-112V while the details printed on the printer are only test samples, which before the first flight will be replaced by metal originals, but in plans - to master the print of constructively simple components that will be installed on the serial side, "- said in the firm Ilyushin.

Now the seal will allow to quickly adjust the fixing points of the components of the hydraulic system of the aircraft, thereby speeding up the process of preparing the side for the first flight. At present, the installation of the layout for the aircraft began, noted in PJSC "IL".

"Since the Il-112V is being built from scratch, many parts and components need to be refined during the aircraft installation, and we started using a 3D printer to understand how accurate or incorrect our calculations were.This technology allows us not to interrupt the finalization of finished products, which, in turn, significantly reduces the time for installation of equipment and makes the production process cheaper, "explained Pavel Cherenkov, First Deputy General Director of PJSC" Il ".

About the plane

Light military transport aircraft IL-112V with a maximum load of up to 5 tons is intended for the transport of personnel, military equipment, various types of weapons and other cargo. It is created to replace the turboprop An-26 and An-24. The first flight, tentatively, should take place before the end of 2018.

It can be operated on small, small-equipped airfields that have both concrete and ground coverings of runways. The release is planned in two versions: for civil aviation (Il-112T) and military transport aviation (Il-112V). Earlier it was reported that the military intends to order 62 cars, then former Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said that the military department plans to acquire at least 100 such aircraft, since the need for them is very high.

If you wanna see a new plane taking-off, be prepared to wait at least 4 years, and doesn't seem that Russian Air Force has that much time...

Отмечается также, что решение о прекращении проекта Ил-112 может грозить кадровыми решениями, в том числе под угрозой якобы оказывается руководитель «Ил» Алексей Рогозин.

Отмечается, что именно он, придя в компанию, обнаружил проблемы в конструировании самолета: так, допустимый перегруз опытной модели вместо нормальных допусков до 10% составляет почти 40%, то есть порядка 3 тонн.

Между тем, 22 июня Рогозин заявил, что серийное производство самолетов Ил-96 и Ил-112В на Воронежском авиазаводе начнется в 2020 году.

It is noted that the decision on the termination of the IL-112 project threatens to include personnel decisions, included in the number
under threat supposedly is the director of IL, Alexey Rogozin.

It is noted that it is specifically he (Rogozin), upon arrival at the company, who discovered problems with construction of the plane:
specifically, the allowed overload of the prototype model instead of being the normal 10% involves almost 40%, that is around 3 tons.

In all this, Rogozin announced on June 22, that serial production of IL-96 and IL-112B at the Voronezh aircraft plant will start in
2020.

Hole wrote:As the programme started the Il-112V should have been able to carry 6 tons of cargo by an TOW of 19,7 tons. Do to the engine (TV7-117ST) not being strong enough the payload was reduced to 5 tons. With a new engine, now under development, this problem will be solved. They will produce the plane with the old engine and later change to the new one.

I wonder if the explanation might be its actually 14% overweight (overweight by 40% of the allowable 10% rather than 40% of total weight)? Bad still but not necessarily fatal to the program.

after the completion of successful frequency tests, the first Il-112V sample will be transmitted to the flight station of the Voronezh Aviation Plant (VASO) to prepare for the first flight. The plane should take to the air in October-November 2018

Aircraft of this class are designed to replace the An-26, whose service life is coming to an end. Eighty percent of these machines will be decommissioned until 2030.

It claims the solution is a 5 ton ballast mass in the nose for balance... which is bullshit... there is no way the balance could be that far off with a plane this size and weight... one ton, maybe, but five tons is too large a fraction of the entire weight of the aircraft.

And from unknown sources. We take them at face value but not of those from officials and people in the know.

And while it is true that the An-178 had problems as well, this time it is a Russian aircraft
