I have tried to indicate both where confusion is likely to occur. Note that CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) uses a numerical serialling system like military; their aircraft have not been included. One F-86 was donated by Pakistan by 00; its location is at present unknown. Beijing/Nan Yuan Airport (south of city) Mi-8 4211 was stored here in Oct99.

The J-8-II is a mock-up, mostly wood. One of the sheds at the back is full of microlights, the other looks like a classroom and contained the J-6 727 and one more which had most of its panels removed to display its inards. The IL-14 is ex. CAAC. In general the place is quite run down and there was nobody around that spoke English. It is a real museum ( it says so on the university map ) and it even has a shop.We did not read anything off the Harvard so it is assumed to be the one on your list!!

  • Communiqué De Presse
    Paris, 6th June 2017 PRESS RELEASE First Flight of Russian Aircraft MC-21 Nexeya supplies avionics integration and simulation tools Russia United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) successfully completed the maiden flight of their new MC-21- 300 commercial aircraft at Irkutsk Aviation Plant airfield. Being a modern aircraft, the MC-21 operates with numerous state of the art computer-controlled systems supporting safety-critical flight functions. While this may have been the first time its complex avionics systems have been tested in flight, they have been successfully integrated and tested on the ground thanks to TechSAT’s Avionics Development System ADS2 platform solution. This ADS2 platform enabled UAC Integration Center to test and validate the full MC-21 avionic suits prior to the first flight. Holistic tests including complex operational scenarios were performed during every phases of the design and development of the program ensuring maximum safety and superior performance of the aircraft. TechSAT (a Nexeya company) is proud to be part of the MC-21 program. «TechSAT solutions were designed and built on schedule; all test rigs were thus completed on time», says Victor SINITSYN, head of section at the UAC Integration Center. «ADS2 is a powerful, flexible, and stable product, to perform all required tests. ADS2 keeps its promises. ADS2 functionality is 100% reliable. TechSAT teams are open and skilled to meet customer needs». Marco Häde, TechSAT director of operations : «The key feature of TechSAT’s solutions for MC-21 simulation systems is the integration of all LRUs involved and the cockpit into a real hardware-in-the-loop setup.

  • FLYING the FLOGGER Reflections on an Early Post-Cold War Mig-23 Experience
    FLYING THE FLOGGER Reflections on an Early Post-Cold War MiG-23 Experience Benjamin S. Lambeth1 Mikoyan’s MiG-23UB dual-control company demonstrator The author, an Honorary Daedalian since 2002, is a civil-rated pilot and defense analyst specializing in air warfare. He was a senior research associate at the RAND Corporation for 37 years and is now a nonresident senior fellow with the Center for Stra- tegic and Budgetary Assessments. Before joining RAND in 1974, he served as a Soviet military analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency. During the last years of the Cold War and for a short time thereafter, when access by Western defense professionals to the USSR’s and post-Soviet Russia’s military leaders and military aviation industry was remarkably unrestricted, he had the rare privilege of flying four invitational fighter sorties with four of the country’s top-ranked industry test pilots. This article recalls the highlights of the most instructive among them. My ties with the Mikoyan Design Bureau, first established after I met then-chief test pilot Valery Menitsky at the Farnborough Air Show in 1988, opened the door for me to fly a MiG-23 (NATO code-name FLOGGER) at the Zhukovsky Flight Test Center during the 1993 Moscow Aviation and Space Salon. Four years before, at Menitsky’s behest, I had been the first American to fly the MiG-29 and the first Westerner invited to fly a combat aircraft of any type inside Soviet airspace since the end of World War II. Having previously flown both the MiG-29 and later the Su-30 with Anatoly Kvochur, formerly of Mikoyan and at the time with Russia’s Gromov Flight Research Institute, getting a shot at the MiG-23 was a step backward into aviation history.

  • Economic Growth in the Governance of the Cold War Divide Mikoyan's
    Economic Growth in the Governance of the Cold War Divide Mikoyan’s Encounter with Japan, Summer 1961 ✣ Oscar Sanchez-Sibony Noguchi Yoshio had written to him after all. Anastas Mikoyan had been re- tired for ten years. The year was 1975, and to mark Mikoyan’s 80th birthday, Noguchi had sent the retired Soviet official a souvenir.1 He was not the only one to remember Mikoyan in his retirement. Writing in 1972 on the occasion of his oil company’s 60th anniversary, the redoubtable Idemitsu Sazo sent to Mikoyan—in the somewhat bewildered words of then-Soviet ambassador to Japan Oleg Troyanovskii—a “piece of cloth.”2 Matsubara Yosamatsu, presi- dent of the industrial and shipbuilding conglomerate Hitachi Zosen, chose a more personal note. In his letter, he recounted to Mikoyan the first time they met in August 1961 during Mikoyan’s tour of the corporation’s shipyard in Sakurajima, as well as their encounter a year later when Matsubara headed a delegation of Japanese businessmen in Moscow. “Ten years have passed since then,” he wistfully wrote to the Old Bolshevik. “And in that time, economic relations between our two countries strengthen with every year as trade rela- tions develop between our countries even more greatly.”3 Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sato Eisaku also recalled that fateful year, writing in his personal letter to Mikoyan: “I am sincerely glad that relations between Japan and the Soviet Union, especially after your visit to Japan in 1961, continue to develop 1. Mikoyan’s thank-you note dates from 1 December 1975 and is stored in Russian State Archive of Sociopolitical History (RGASPI), Fond (F.) 84, Opis’ (Op.) 3, Delo (D.) 108, List (L.) 43.

  • PERSA Working Paper No. 22
    Numbered Soviet Aviation Factories, 1921–1941 Keith Dexter University of Warwick [email protected] PERSA Working Paper No. 22 Political Department of Economics Economy Research in Soviet Archives Version: 15 October 2002 Numbered Soviet Aviation Factories, 1921-1941 Keith Dexter World War 1 accelerated the growth of the Russian aviation industry which, towards the end of 1917 employed 10-12,000 people in 27 factories of which, 14 manufactured aircraft, 7 aeroengines, 3 propellers and skis, 2 electrical engine components and 1 aviation instruments. Sources differ from a minimum total of 21 to a maximum of 29 aviation factories but the figures quoted above seem sensible. All these facilities were privately owned. In addition, seven more plants were being built. However aircraft technology had not kept pace with the rest of Europe; all engines and 70% of airframes were still based on foreign designs. In spite of the civil unrest which erupted in 1917 1,099 aircraft and 374 engines were built. The Revolution and Civil War reduced these numbers in 1918 to 225 and 79 respectively and the upheavals wrought by the continuation of the Civil War ensured that only 668 new aircraft and 264 aeroengines were produced during that time; it is understandable that throughout this troubled period aircaft could not be given high prority. Nationalisation of the aircraft industry began slowly in January 1918 and continued until the end of the year at the earliest. In June 1918 Lenin signed a decree to extend the nationalisation to cover all means of production; a lengthy process and one fraught with many problems.

  • Russia Considers Developing a 40-Seat Turboprop Based on the Let L-610 Design
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news RUSSIA CONSIDERS DEVELOPING A 40-SEAT TURBOPROP BASED ON THE LET L-610 DESIGN News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 In the small 30 to 60-seat turboprop market – and in direct competition with local project the modernised Ilyushin IL-114 – Russia is considering the development of a 40-seat regional turboprop aircraft based on the 30-year old Let L-610, a prototype aircraft originally developed by the Czech civil aircraft manufacturer Let Kunovice. The state is considering replacing the obsolete Soviet/Ukrainian An-24/26s, some 60 of which are still operational across the country, Russian Aviation Insider understands. The new aircraft is likely to be based on the Let L-610 platform, which was created in Czechoslovakia. The twin-engine turboprop made its maiden flight in December 1988. Russia’s Ministry for industry and trade believes the new product can fill the niche between the 19-seat L-410UVP-E20 and the 60-seat Ilyushin 114-300. The L-410UVP-E20 was also developed and produced by Let Kunovice, which was renamed Aircraft Industries once it became a subsidiary of Russia’s Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) in 2008. Over the last two years, media attention – ignited by governmental interest and some state comments surrounding the L-610 – has been gaining momentum. It was, for example, described as a ‘prospective project’ in the roadmap for the development of the so-called Titanium Valley – a special economic zone near Yekaterinburg, an initiative which was announced in 2016 by Evgeny Kuyvashev, the governor of Sverdlovsk Region.

  • First Ilyushin Il-96-400M Assembly Kicks Off
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news FIRST ILYUSHIN IL-96-400M ASSEMBLY KICKS OFF News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown Assembly of the first four-engine Ilyushin IL-96-400M wide-body passenger aircraft has begun at the Voronezh Aviation Plant (VASO) in southwest Russia. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Earlier in November, the factory reported it was taking delivery of some structural components and was starting subassembly of the new version’s wing and fuselage. The design documentation for the complete aircraft is currently also being finalised. The Ilyushin IL-96-400M is a new passenger version, featuring a 9.65-metre longer, extended fuselage and an additional 20 tonnes of maximum take off weight (MTOW) compared with the original, base IL-96-400T cargo version. With a projected passenger capacity of 390 seats, the first flight of the aircraft – powered by Russian-made PS-90A1 engines – is scheduled for next year. The engine maker UEC-Perm Motors (part of United Engine Corporation) has confirmed it is planning to deliver the first engines for the programme before the end of this year. At the beginning of 2018, the Russian government allocated 1.32 billion roubles to United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), parent of the Voronezh Aviation Plant, for the necessary reconstruction and technical upgrade of the manufacturing facilities designated for serial assembly of the IL-96-400M. The IL-96-400M passenger aircraft project, although officially recognised as commercially unviable, is nevertheless aimed at sustaining and developing the all-round competences of VASO.
