The SibNIA TWS-2DTS ( Russian СибНИА ТВС-2ДТС ) is a multipurpose aircraft belonging to the Siberian Scientific Research Institute for Aviation ( Russian Сибирский научно-исследовательский институт анститут авивит анститит ).

history

The TWS-2DTS is a comprehensively modernized derivative of the 12-seat Antonov An-2 double-decker . The first flight of the machine took place on July 10, 2018 in Novosibirsk . It was planned to build five test aircraft in order to achieve approval in 2020.

In September 2019, it was announced that the SibNIA TWS-2DTS would not replace the An-2 aircraft type, but rather the Ministry of Industry and Trade asked the state procurement portal for research and development to design a monoplane aircraft. Avoiding non-Russian components and the engine may have played a role.

construction

In contrast to the An-2 biplane , the TWS-2DTS is made of composite materials and has a turboprop drive and a glass cockpit . It is based on the TWS-2MS, which has been in production since 2011. In contrast to its predecessor, the fuselage and wings of the TWS-2DTS are made entirely of composite materials reinforced with carbon fibers. The lower wings have received winglets that reach up to the upper wings and are connected to them ( box wings ). Thanks to STOL capabilities, the machine is particularly suitable for military and civil supply flights in areas with poorly developed infrastructure. Other possible uses are fire fighting or medical rescue flights.

Orders and deliveries

In July 2017, there were 50 orders for the aircraft. The TWS-2DTS is to be built in the Novosibirsk region, initially with a production rate of 20 units per year.
