Among them is the aircraft L-410. This is a universal aircraft with two engines. It is used on short distances. In the cabin there are only 19 seats. He was developed at the Czech plant Let.

TURBOLET LET L-410 - this is the full name this aircraft. It is convenient because it can be placed on a variety of types of sites and runways - ground, snowy or not very long. It is exploited on military and civil transport.

In the 60s last century The USSR discussed the creation of a new type of aircraft that would be used on internal and short routes. The first developments began in Beriev OKB. So the type appeared BE-30.. At the same time, such a model began to design in the Czech SSR.

The plane was supposed to be economical, so the use of turboprop engines was considered, and not jet.

In 1969. The first tests of Czech aircraft. They used American engines. Already by the end of the 60s It was produced 31 plane.

In 1974. It was represented by L-410m with Czech engines. Five years later released a new, improved modification of this aircraft - L-410UVP. It was distinguished from previous extended fuselage, large wings, vertical plumage.

He was certified in the USSR and began to be operated

Other modifications of this model were also produced. They have the running and landing characteristics have been improved and the noise in the cabin is reduced.

Cabin pilots in Let L-410.

Now they use them in flight schools for learning, preparing for long-range flights or military transportation.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, attempts were made in order to restore the work of the factory. The demand for L-410 fell, and production was slowed down. The popularity of this model has decreased and because the amount has grown with its participation. Total 106 cars was lost in this way with the total number of victims in 406 people.

In 2013 The "Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company" bought a full package of plant shares, so three years later decided to release this aircraft again.

Description

The development of the aircraft began in 1966. The first experienced aircraft, equipped with Twid Pratt-Whitney Canada RT6A-27 (2 x 715 hp), began to undergo flight trials on April 16, 1969. Regular operation of the L-410A aircraft at the end of 1971 He opened the Czechoslovak airline "Words Air" from Bratislava, serving local airlines - by the beginning of 1974 she received 12 aircraft. Total built 31 plane. Five aircraft (head. No. 720103-06 and No. 720201) L-410A with engines of RT 6A-27, built by the end of 1972 under the designation of L-410As, the following year were transferred to the USSR. The airplanes received Soviet registration numbers from the USSR-67251 in the USSR-67255. The first of them led to the airfield of the State Siga of the Czech pilot pilot of Frantiska Pilk. Aerodrome people immediately called a nice newcomer "Cheburashka". In 1973, the lifting tests of the L-410M aircraft equipped with Czech TVD Walter M 601A began. L-410M became the second serial modification of the "turbolt". Just until the end of 1978, 100 L-410M / MU aircraft arrived for the USSR Ministry of Civil Aviation.

In 1979, the production of an improved modification of L-410UZP, which became the main serial model. From previous options, this aircraft was distinguished by an elongated fuselage, increased wing and vertical plumage sizes, using interceptor and installation of TVD Walter M 601 V (2 x 730 hp). This aircraft passed the certification program in the USSR and was commissioned by Aeroflot. A further development was the option L-410UVP-E with more powerful Twid M 601 E. The first flight of this aircraft took place on December 30, 1984. It is characterized by improved run-and-selection characteristics and a reduced level of noise in the cockpit. In March 1986 he was certified in the USSR. A modification of L-420 has been developed with more powerful TVD M601 F (2 x 778 l.), Increased by the take-off mass (6.8 tons) and improved light characteristics (aircraft's rear tests began in November 1993).

Since 1969, 1104 L-410 of various modifications were built, 862 of them came to the Soviet Union. By the beginning of 1992, about 750 L-38 aircraft remained in the USSR.
