Ilyushin Il-112

The Ilyushin Il-112 is a high-wing, twin-turboprop light military transport aircraft developed by the Ilyushin Aviation Complex and built by the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association. Work began in 1994 on a design to replace the Antonov An-26, with the military Il-112V version and a civil Il-112T planned. The project was cancelled in 2010, revived in 2013 and a first prototype was rolled out in November 2018. It first flew on 30 March 2019, powered by two Klimov TV7-117ST engines of 2,610 kilowatts each driving six-bladed propellers, and it can carry 5,000 kilograms of cargo or 44 passengers. The only flying prototype crashed near Kubinka on 17 August 2021, killing its crew of three. A later plan reworks the design as the jet-powered Il-212 with PD-8 engines, keeping the fuselage and avionics.
