What are the main features of the lL-114-300 aircraft?

IL-114-300 is a short-range turboprop aircraft. The aircraft is manufactured for locally operating airlines, for flights to regions with poor infrastructure and difficult climatic conditions.

IL-114-300 can be used to ensure air mobility of people from remote areas of Russia (Northern region, Far East and Siberia).

The main features of IL-114-300 are:

  • maximum passenger transport capacity - 68 seats
  • maximum payload - up to 6,8 tons
  • cruising speed - 500 km / h
  • flight radius with maximum payload (6,8 t) - 1400 km
  • autonomy without load - 5000 km
