The new Russian aircraft T-500 is unique in many respects. Through the use of composite materials in the wing skin and body, and the power components, it weighs only 756 kg. And yet this is the only aircraft in the world, nominally equipped with an automatic rescue system parachute ejected.
T-500 - the first Russian aircraft certified in agricultural applications. In addition it can be used for search operations, aerial photography, aerial surveillance.
aircraft size - 8h12 meters. Speed - 160 km / h, the maximum flight distance - 1000 km, for the tank volume himsmesi - 500 l, the maximum takeoff weight - 1475 kg.
Planes T-500 does not need an airfield - he takes off from any field. There are gidroversiya.
Such an aircraft takes off from the water and sit on the water.
Single cab, but it planned to make a version with double cabin to the T-500 can be used for pilot training.
It is interesting that on the instrument panel have a regular place for a smartphone to use it as a navigator.
Now the plane is used imported engine, but there is a work on creation of the Russian engine for T-500.
Nozzles for spraying chemicals on agricultural fields.
Above the cab auto rescue system cover. When emergency situations plane shoots parachute gently lowered him to the ground, along with the pilot. The system works even sverhamaloy and zero altitude (when abnormal takeoff). When firing at a low altitude aircraft airflow throws it up and gently lowered by parachute.
Together with the aircraft released the refueling complex capable of handling aircraft in the field.
In barrels fuel in the tank - chemical reagents.
Now the pilot batch of ten aircraft.
These aircraft have been featured on Cipro conference held today in Innopolis near Kazan.
Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov and Director General Sergei Chemezov Rostec laid the first stone for the production of new aircraft plant. Tatarstan allocated for this piece of land next to the Innopolis and Rostec funding the project.
The exact price of the T-500 is still unknown, but presumably it will be very low - from 12 million rubles.
I took a short video of the T-500.
