Prototype of Ilyushin Il-114-300 being tested

The video of the test of the prototype of the regional Ilyushin Il-114-300 on the runway of the MiG Lukhovitsky aircraft plant named after "P.A. Voronin" has appeared.

It can be seen that in the run the front landing gear comes off the runway - such tests are usually preparatory tests before the first flight. If during these tests all systems function normally and the behavior and controllability of the aircraft at such speeds correspond to those expected, then after processing the data from these tests a conclusion for the first flight is prepared.
This means that in the coming days there may be news about the first flight of a new aircraft - the updated Il-114-300.

We remind you that the one in the video is a completely new Il-114-300 assembled in Lukhovitsy. Prior to this, only the Il-114-300 prototype, created on the basis of the Il-114-100 previously produced at TAPO in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, with engines and avionics from the Il-114-300, underwent flight test on December 16, 2020 (and subsequently shown to the public at the Russian Aerospace Salon MAKS-2021).
