Beriev Be-112

The Beriev Be-112 is a proposed amphibian aircraft with two propeller engines, projected to carry 27 passengers, in a size in which the Beriev firm has no production amphibian. Its intended purposes include passenger and cargo carriage, ambulance missions, surveillance and search and rescue, and Beriev also explored a version with wing-mounted turboprop engines. The proposed specification, drawn from Beriev's own data, gives a crew of two, a payload of 2,350 kg, a length of 17 m, a wingspan of 21.2 m and a gross weight of 11,000 kg, with two 1,062 kW Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-67R turboprops driving five-bladed fully-feathering reversible propellers. The projected maximum speed is 420 km/h, the cruise speed 370 km/h and the range 1,000 km.
