In Odesa on July 13 the plane, created by Odessan aircraft designer, up into the sky. The last production aircraft was built in Odessa back in 1923.
The new aircraft was built in the shops of the enterprise "Aviaremservis." The last time the company has produced more serial aircraft during Lenin's life. Then it was a well-known factory, "Anatra." The aircraft "Humpbacked Horse", released in 1923, seemed to put an end in the Odessa aircraft.
"Airplane" Dolphin "- a large collective work of engineers, designers, and we hope that this will give us a great future" - said the chief designer of the project Igor Biryukov
C-09 "Dolphin" - the plane of the light class, such in Ukraine have not yet released. It is suitable for training, transport and use in commercial needs. The machine takes on board 4 people, maximum altitude - 3600 meters.
"On this machine you begin to understand Efimova, Utochkina, they began to fly these machines. Here, in Odessa, "- said the Test Pilot of Antonov Design Bureau, Sergei Kovalev.
The revolutionary diesel produced in France runs on kerosene and may surprise a purse. Consumption of kerosene - 30 liters per hour. With the price of a liter - 6 hryvnia.
Directions of use of the aircraft just weight. One of them - is aero taxi. This machine can deliver passengers from Odessa to Kiev with minimal costs for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.
For the designers of the factory to return the Odessa sector of aircraft was a matter of prestige. Until recent years, "Aviaremservis" was engaged in maintenance and repair of aeronautical engineering. To create the first in many years, a sample of the new series, the designers took 2 years of work.
Aircraft of this class Western-style - the American, Austrian, Cyrus, Diamond, there are about 500-560 thousand dollars in their countries. The problem of domestic producers - to make a plane is cheaper at least one-third. And it will be a success. |
