The layout of the aircraft l 410 400. How it is done, how it works, how it works
How the L-410 planes are made in the Czech Republic gelio wrote in December 4th, 2013
L-410 UVP-E20 - universal twin-engine aircraft of Czech production for local overhead lines, accommodating 19 passengers. It is intended for operation on unprepared unpaved, grassy, snowy areas, as well as on airfields with short runways (about 600-700 meters), which, in fact, makes it an aircraft in the "off-road" category. The first flight of the L-410 was made on April 16, 1969. The main customer of the aircraft was Soviet Union... In addition, L-410 was also delivered to Bulgaria, Brazil, Hungary, East Germany, Libya, Poland. Despite the fact that the plant is located in the Czech Republic, it considers itself a part of the Russian aircraft industry: the foundations for this were laid during its development and with a long history of operation. As of 2012, more than 400 L-410 aircraft are in operation in the world.
Aircraft Industries production site in Kunovice, Czech Republic.
Aircraft Industries, better known under the Let Kunovice brand, is located 300 km from Prague. The plant employs 920 people.
The company manufactures an aircraft in a full production cycle - it has its own lines for surface treatment of materials, paint and varnish production, a machine shop, assembly shops, a design office and an airport.
Shop for the production of parts of the fuselage L-410. The enterprise is expanding and modernizing its production - the light-green equipment is intended for the production of a new generation of the L-410 NG (New Generation) aircraft.
The plant's production capacity is 16-18 new aircraft per year.
About 80% of aircraft are delivered to Russia. Over the past four years, 35 aircraft have been delivered to Russia.
Production of parts on a CNC milling center of the French company Creneau.

In one half of the building there are two lines for the production of new L-410 aircraft, in the other half there is a workshop for servicing aircraft that come out of service.
At the same time, there are about 10 aircraft in the assembly shop. The fuselage, wing, end tanks and tail unit come to the beginning of the line from the paint shop.
At the end of the line are aircraft undergoing flight tests and preparing to be shipped to customers.
Over the entire history of its existence, the plant has produced over 1150 aircraft of the L-410 family.
More than 850 of them were delivered to operators in the USSR.

The five-blade AV-725 propellers (Avia Propeller) together with the GE H80-200 engine make up the new power plant of the L-410 UVP-E20 aircraft. It has been installed since January 2013 on all new aircraft and is certified by EASA and the Russian AR IAC.
Young people in production are not uncommon, also due to the presence of their own vocational technical school on the territory of the plant.
The average age of the company's employees is 44 years.
Work on the GE H-80 engine carried out by a representative of GE Aviation Czech, Prague (former Walter plant).
The stage of final assembly takes about 5 months - this is the most expensive part of the production, as within its framework motors, chassis and all avionics are installed on the aircraft, where each individual unit can cost 100-250 thousand Euros.
The total duration of the aircraft production cycle from the production of the first components of the fuselage to the end of flight tests takes a little less than a year.

Let L 410 "Turbolet" is a versatile nineteen-seat twin-engine aircraft for regional airlines. The aircraft with reduced take-off and landing properties (UVP in the name L410 UVPE20 means the Russian abbreviation "Shortened take-off and landing") was developed by the Let design bureau of the plant. It was intended for operation on grassy, unpaved, unprepared snow sites, as well as at airports with short lanes. Manufactured to date at the Czech plant Let. Other names: Turbolet, Let, L410, Let L410, conversational names - Elka, Cheburashka.
History of production and creation
Aircraft design began in 1966. For the first time, a prototype aircraft equipped with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A27 (2x715hp) turbine engine passed flight tests on 04/16/1969. Regular use of L410A aircraft was opened by the first Czechoslovakian aviation company Slov Air (Bratislava) at the end of 1971, which served the local aviation lines - by the beginning of 1974 it had acquired twelve aircraft. A total of 31 aircraft were built. 5 aircraft (number 72010306 and number 720201) L410A with RT6A27 engines, built under the name L410AS by 1972, were transferred to the Soviet Union in 1973. The aircraft received registration Soviet numbers USSR67251 - USSR67255. The first of them was brought to the airfield by Frantisek Svinka, a Czech test pilot. The airfield people immediately called the pretty plane "Cheburashka".
In 1973, flight tests of the L410M aircraft, equipped with the Czech theater of operations Walter M601A, began. The L410M became the second production variation of the Turbolet. In total, by the end of 1978, one hundred L410M / MU aircraft were received for the Ministry of Civil Aviation of the Soviet Union.
In 1979, the production of an improved modification L410UVP started, which became the main production model. This aircraft differed from the previous versions by a longer fuselage, large vertical tail and wing sizes, the use of spoilers and a HPT Walter M601V (2x730hp). This aircraft passed the certification program in the USSR and was taken into use by Aeroflot. Further development was the L410UVPE variant with more powerful TVDM601E. The first flight of such an aircraft took place on 12/30/1984. It has improved takeoff and landing characteristics and reduced noise level in the cockpit. In 1986 he was certified in the Soviet Union. A modification of the L420 with powerful TVDM601 ° F (2x778hp), a larger take-off weight (6.8t) and improved flight properties has been developed (flight tests of the aircraft started in 1993).
By the beginning of 1992, 750 L410 aircraft remained in the Soviet Union.
It is used in military and civil flight schools for the preliminary training of future pilots of military transport and long-range aviation.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and CMEA in the 1990s, the demand for L410 aircraft fell, and the rate of their production decreased by more than ten times (from 50 aircraft per year to two to five). The situation has improved significantly since 2008, when 51 percent of the shares of Let Kunovice (Aircraft Industries) were bought by the Russian company Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. The production rate in 2010-2012 was eight to ten aircraft per year. It is planned to increase the annual production rate to 16-18 aircraft.
In 2013, a modification of the L410 UVPE20 was produced, equipped with analog or digital avionics (optional), a TCAS system, and an autopilot. L410 UVPE20 is ARMAK type certified.
OJSC Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company in September 2013 acquired 49 percent of the shares of LetKunovice (Aircraft Industries). Thus, UMMC became the sole owner of Aircraft Indistries, increasing its shareholding to 100 percent.
The aerodynamic design is a twin-engine turboprop high-wing aircraft with a single-fin tail.
