II-112V Production Facility

摘要

Production of the United Aircraft Corporation Ilyushin II-112V twin-turboprop airliner will take place at the MiG facility at Lukhovitsy, which will also produce MiG-35 fighters. This facility will produce 12 airliners per year. Russian president Vladimir Putin announced on January 27: "We have made the decision regarding a source of funding. [It] will be accomplished on time, and we will see an upgraded aircraft, which will be broadly applied and used by domestic airlines." The first two II-112V prototypes - one will be used for static testing - are being built by the Voronezh Joint-Stock Airplane-Building Company. The first flight is scheduled for June 2017. The Sokol facility at Nizhny Novgorod will build II-112Vs. The II-112V will enter airline service in 2019.
