market is estimated at 200 units and production will be carried out at the VASO plant in Voronezh. 11-114 Uzbekistan Airways launched services with the 64- seat twin turboprop 11-114 in July 1998. The baseline Klimov TV7-117-powered aircraft and the semi-Westernised P&WC PW127-powered 11-114-100, certificated in Russia in 1999, are offered. In April this year the US Trade and Development Agency awarded the Tashkent Aircraft Production Organisation (TAPO) a $260,000 grant to study combining the 11-114 airframe with US-built compo nents such as avionics and interior fittings, which could lead to a fully Westernised version. Uzbekistan Airways has 10 11-114-100s on order, and expects to have three in service by the end of the year. Russian start-up Vyborg plans to operate a mixture of leased ex-Uzbekistan Airways 11-114s fit ted with the TV7-117s and new-build 11-114-100s. Following earlier criticism of the Klimov engine's reliability by Uzbekistan, Vyborg's 11-114s have the improved FADEC-equipped Series 2 engine. A freighter version has a rear cargo door and a maximum take-off weight of 23,500kg. With a 6,500kg payload, the aircraft has a range of 1,000km. Production Final assembly is undertaken by the in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. 11-214 The 11-214 is the Russian version of the proposed Indian/Russian Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA) being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), llyushin and Irkut-controlled IAPO. Fifty orders and 100 options for the type were announced in 2001 by an unidentified customer, thought to be the Indian defence ministry, but the type faces competition from the Antonov An-70 and TupolevTu-330forthe Russian medium airlift capacity. The combined market will probably run to 170 aircraft. The 55,000kg twinjet would be required to lift about 20,000kg and have a 5,000km ferry range. The 3m-high, 17.8m-long cabin would have a floor width of 3.15m and feature a tail loading-ramp in MTA configuration. The lead engine contender is a higher-thrust derivative of the R-R BR710, but Aviadvigatel's PS-12 is being considered. India's requirement for the MTA to take off at maximum weight from a 3,500m runway at 40°C favours the more powerful R-R engine, however. llyushin has begun preliminary design with HAL and Irkut-controlled Beriev. Yakovlev may join the programme at launch. MTA production would be split 50:50 between India and Russia, as would the estimated $300 mil lion development cost. Prospects for the 100-seat version received a blow with the selection of the Russian Regional Jet as Aeroflot's new regional jet, a contest for which the proposed 11-214 would have been a candidate. Production Two production lines will be established - one at IAPO in Russia and one at HAL in Bangalore, India. ILYUSH1N/RSK MIG Length (m) Wingspan (m) Height (m) Wing area (m!)

INDONESIAN AEROSPACE Indonesian Aerospace, PO Box 3752 JKT 14th Floor, Bumi Daya Plaza Building, Jalan Imam Bonjol 61, Jakarta 10310, Indonesia Tel: +62 (21) 322 247; Fax: +62 (21) 310 0081 www.indonesian-aerospace.com C212 Indonesian Aerospace produces the C212 under licence from EADS (see EADS CASA). CN235 (See EADS Casa). N250 The N250 is Indonesia's first indigenously produced regional airliner. The aircraft first flew in 1995. The 50-seat R-R AE2100C-powered twin-turboprop fal tered due to lack of funding, although Indonesian Aerospace still harbours ambitions to complete European and US certification of the N250. The partially built third N250 prototype would have to be completed to secure approval. In July Indonesian Aerospace's offices suspended operations for six months due to financial troubles. ISRAEL AIRCRAFT INDUSTRIES Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), Ben-Gurion International Airport 70100, Israel Tel: +972 (3) 935 3343 Fax: +972 (3) 935 8278 www.iai.co.il C-5Wa Airtruck IAI looked at the Airtruck twin-turboprop freighter in the 1990's in response to FedEx Express's require ment for about 100 new-generation freighters. The 12,500kg-capacity Airtruck would accommodate five standard 2.4 x 2.4m M1 pallets. The programme stalled as IAI failed to find more customers to enable it to launch, and efforts last year to locate more customers and form a joint venture with Gulfstream met with similar disappointment. IAI says that the availability of passenger-to-freighter conversion aircraft has lessened demand, but that IAI might return to the programme in a few years' time. Japan Aircraft Development, Toranomon 1- chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105, Japan Tel: +81 (3) 3503-3225 Fax: +81 (3) 3504-0368 Telex: JADC TOKYO; www.iijnet.or.jp/jadc/jadc_home_e.htm JADC co-ordinates Japanese government-spon sored civil aircraft research carried out by Japanese Aircraft Industries, a consortium including Fuji Heavy Industries, Japan Aircraft Manufacturing, Kawasaki, Mitsubishi and Shin Maywa Industries. Regional jet studies Japan's long-running YSX development study is an 80-seat conventional low-wing twinjet powered by R-R BR715 or P&W PW6000s with a range of 5,500km. A stretched 122-seat version would have a range of about 3,700km. About ¥9 billion ($76 million) is being invested by the Japanese government over the next several years to stimulate Japanese production of indige nous regional jets and engines. Mitsubishi and three partners are receiving ¥2.5 billion to focus on 25- to 35-seat aircraft, with the consortium matching the funds itself. Japan Aircraft Development (JADC) is to study the application of technology from the C-X and P-X military programmes to regional jets. The study will cost ¥500 million for the first two years, with equal contributions from government and industry.
