The Be-200 lifted off for the first time at
the airfield of Irkutsk Aviation Production Association on September 24, 1998.
The development of amphibious design was initiated in
1990 under the design leadership of Alexander Yavkin, Chief Designer of the G.
Beriev Taganrog Design Bureau, based on the A-40 Albatros amphibian from which
the Be-200 differs with its smaller dimensions. The airplane was first demonstrated
at the Paris Air Show in 1991.
The Be-200 lifted off for the first time at the airfield
of Irkutsk Aviation Production Association on September 24, 1998. The first
take-off from water took place in Taganrog on September 10, 1999.
In August 2001,
the airplane was certified in accordance with AP-25 airworthiness requirements.
Production of Be-200 amphibians was launched at Irkutsk Aircraft Production
Association (presently – PJSC Irkut Corporation) that same year.
The Be-200 multi-purpose amphibious aircraft was
demonstrated for the first time at the 4th international exhibition of
ship-born and sea aircraft Gidroaviasalon 2002, held in Gelendzhik on September
4-8, 2002. Russia's new amphibian set 9 world records there.
A Be-200ES fitted to the needs of the Russian Emergency
Situations Ministry was developed based on the Be-200. Apart from fire
suppression, the equipment carried by Be-200ES allows it to pursue a wide range
of missions, including the detection of disaster spots, and search-and-rescue
operations on water and in coastal areas.
