The Ministry has identified the developer of the light multipurpose aircraft to replace the An-2 ( "Maize" ), they became "Ural enterprise of civil aviation" (UWCA), to the Protocol of summarizing the results of the open competition. the Ministry did not explain the Last news of this data. before the press service of the Ministry of industry and trade announced the development of a regional aircraft with a capacity of 9-14 people to replace the An-2 ( "Maize" ). From the beginning it was planned that An-2 will replace the single-engine airplane FA-2ДТС " Baikal ", developed by the Siberian research Institute of aviation on the basis of " Maize ". Its mass production was planned to begin in 2021 at the Ulan-Ude aviation plant. However, the Ministry of industry and trade revealed that the FA-2ДТС Is a prototype aircraft designed to test new technologies and taking into account scientific and technical reserve, obtained upon creation, creates a new production aircraft. first chief designer UZGA in aircraft Vadim Dyomin said that the company proposes to establish a nine-seater monoplane to replace the An-2. According to His statement, the aircraft will have a maximum takeoff weight of 4, 8 thousand pounds, which is 1, 5 times less than that of FA-2ДТС. This corresponds to the regulations AP-23 that set the limits by weight for light single-engine aircraft in 5, 7 thousands of pounds. later the managing Director of "Ulan-Ude aviation enterprise" (U-UAZ, enters in "Russian Helicopters" ), Leonid Belykh said in an interview Last news that the appearance of the aircraft, which will be done in Russia to replace the An-2, will be determined in September. White said that after the results of the competition, the company starts the production of new machines and able to fulfill any order. An-2 ( "Annushka ""Kukuruznik" ) - Soviet light multipurpose aircraft. Because of the simplicity in operation, simplicity and the ability to work on small unpaved airfields widely exploited by the local airlines to move passengers and cargo, for example in the finished of the village, and for different chores. in the last month of summer the Ministry has placed on the public procurement portal for carrying out research and development works on creation of a light aircraft. According to the materials of procurement, the establishment is expected to spend more than 1, 2 billion. The need for such a plane, according to the Ministry, caused a substantial reduction in the fleet of aircraft of type An-2, which mostly provide intra-regional air transportation. According to Minpromtorga in fifteen regions of the aircraft - the main component of the transport system, and more than 28 thousand settlements have no terrestrial address. in the specifications given in the documentation, it is reported that developed the preliminary design of the aircraft." as a result of submissions of preliminary design, for the design and development of advanced light multipurpose aircraft serial production and operation of local air lines plane recommended standard aerodynamic configuration and a Seating capacity of 9-14 people, " - said in the document. It is also noted that the promising aircraft will meet the modern requirements of the market complex will be based on a perspective of advanced scientific and technical solutions and aviation technologies. According to the materials procurement, to Dec is expected to make a General arrangement drawing of the aircraft and the thumbnail of the technical design documentation, to carry out calculations on static strength and to form a working design documentation on the airframe, Its systems and powerplant. Set of design documentation for the Experimental sample is expected to be done until September 2020, and December - is expected to make himself an Experimental model aircraft for static tests. <span style="color:darkgray
