Rusaviaprom is proud to announce the completion of flight tests of the fourth upgraded TVS-2MS aircraft, which took place in Tomsk. All systems worked without any deviations, and according to the acting head of the LIK, test pilot Anton Bibaev, no problems were detected during the flight.

This aircraft is equipped with a new engine, which had no flight experience at the time of the start of testing. He demonstrated excellent pick-up and responsiveness to the actions of the pilot, which significantly reduced the take-off and run distances to 70 and 100 meters, respectively. In total, six flights were completed with a total flight time of about 8.5 hours.

The upgraded aircraft is intended for SibAeroKraft Airlines, which has ordered four such airliners in order to revive regional aviation in the Tomsk Region and the West Siberian region.

The TVS-2MS is the only production aircraft for small aircraft in Russia. During its operation, it has proven its reliability and efficiency, with a total flight time of more than 25,000 hours. For more than eight years, this aircraft has been transporting passengers along social routes in cities such as Irkutsk, Chita, Magadan and Blagoveshchensk.
