 Ulyanovsk, August 16 - RIA Novosti. The rollout of the new light IL-112V military transport aircraft is planned for September 2018, Alexei Rogozin, Vice President for Transport Aviation of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), told reporters on Thursday.

 "In September, we plan to organize the rollout of the Il-112V plane in Voronezh," he said at the opening of the MATF-2018 air transport forum.

 The IL-112V light military transport aircraft is designed for transporting and airborne landing of up to 5 tons of light weapons and military equipment, cargo and personnel, as well as a wide range of various cargoes for commercial aircraft operation. In the future, the IL-112 will be replaced not only by the AN-26, which is twice as effective in terms of transport efficiency, but will also compete with the world's best transport aircraft of this class. The first flight is scheduled for the end of 2018.
