The Sukhoi Su-80 ( Russian Сухой Су-80 ) is a light to medium - sized multipurpose aircraft from Russia that is powered by two propeller turbines. In some sources this type of aircraft is also referred to as "S-80".
history
At the 38th Aerosalon in Le Bourget in 1989, a model of the Suchoi S-80 turboprop transporter was shown for the first time. The machine was developed by Sukhoi OKB and the aircraft factory in Komsomolsk / Amur as part of the “konversija” program. She was u. a. designed as a replacement for the numerous An-24 / 26 , An-28 and Jak-40 and is in competition with the Antonow An-38 .
The S-80 was scheduled to take off for its maiden flight at the end of 1990. The S-80 program was postponed for a few years due to a lack of funds. Finally, the combined cargo / passenger version Su-80GP was built as a prototype, which should take off for the first flight in early 1998. But again the program was delayed. The prototype was exhibited at the MAKS 2001 in Zhukovsky near Moscow.
On September 4, 2001, Igor Wotinzew took off for the first flight with the prototype (82911) .
At the beginning of 2006 the Su-80 should go into series production at KnAAPO in Komsomolsk am Amur . However, only three more machines were produced that are used by the Russian coast guard and fire department. The program was then discontinued and Sukhoi focused on the Superjet 100 .
In 2012, Russian Prime Minister Medvedev called for a new Russian machine for regional transport. Sukhoi's deputy chief financial officer, Yevgeny Konkov, said that Sukhoi was ready to resume the Su-80 project. This has apparently not happened so far.
construction
The design of the machine is very similar to Burt Rutan's Advanced Technology Tactical Transport or the Rockwell OV-10 , i.e. that is, it has three lift-generating surfaces, of which the two front ones connect the two tail booms to the fuselage surface. A shaft turbine is located in each of the two tail girders. Both the 3000 WPS strong TWD-1500 and the 1750 WPS strong General Electric CT7 -9B were intended as drives. The two rudders are connected by a common elevator. The streamlined hull offers z. B. Space for 30 passengers and is equipped with a so-called "beaver tail" tailgate, which enables convenient loading and unloading of loads.
