CJSC Aviastar-SP ( Russian Авиастар-СП ) is a Russian aircraft factory based in Ulyanovsk, which was founded in 1976. It is a closed joint-stock company, has replaced the Soviet Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex (UAPK) and manufactures the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, Ilyushin Il-76 and the entire Tupolev-Tu-204 family (except Tu-214).
history
The Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex ( Russian Ульяновский авиационно-промышленный комплекс ), renamed Aviastar when it was converted into a joint stock company in November 1991, was built from the beginning of the 1970s for the production of a new generation of strategic bombers ( 160 ). From 1985 the plant began to build the heavy transport aircraft An-124, of which it produced the largest number of 33 copies of this type (56% of production) next to the Kiev plant No. 473 until the collapse of the Soviet Union and above until 1995 . The company is considered the largest aerospace manufacturing facility in the world.
It produces the An-124 long-haul transport aircraft and the Tu-204 200-seat medium-haul aircraft. Originally, Ulyanovsk was supposed to combine aircraft, avionics and engine production facilities in one complex, but the avionics and engine systems have not yet been completed.
The factory also owns 40,000 hectares of arable land, where it manufactured and sold agricultural products for its workers in the early 1990s. In 2007 United Aircraft Corporation acquired 1.25% of the capital of Aviastar-SP from the Russian Federation.
