Tour of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant

• at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant Tour

SU-30 - two-seat fighter-generation 4+. This aircraft is produced at the Irkutsk aviation plant (IAP). During its existence, the company has produced more than 7,000 aircraft of 20 types. The geography of deliveries IAZa covers 37 countries. Also Su-30MK (modernized, commercial) and Su-30cm (modernized, serial), the plant produces the training and combat aircraft YAK-130 aircraft equipment components for the Airbus group and starts production passenger aircraft MS-21.

SU-30cm - Double 4+ generation fighter, created on the basis of the Su-27.

This is the first production aircraft in the world, having super-maneuverability.

The Fighter is designed to control group fighting fighters in solving problems of the conquest of the air, combat support other types of aircraft, a cover for ground troops and installations, destroying landings in the air, as well as for aerial reconnaissance and destruction of land and sea targets.

Su-30cm adapted to the requirements of the Russian Air Force radar systems, radio and public recognition. Here are some of its characteristics: a practical ceiling - 16,300 m, maximum range - 3000 km, the maximum speed - 2125 km / h.

Irkutsk Aviation Plant - one of the most important in the Russian aircraft manufacturing centers, is part of the Corporation "Irkut".

In 2014, the Irkutsk aviation plant celebrates its 80th anniversary.

Production of the aircraft - technically complex process which is divided into many small steps. Each department of the Irkutsk aviation plant fulfills its part of the process chain.

In this machine VPO JOMAX the 18th shop fabricated stacker snap. Thanks to modern equipment one worker per shift performs the amount of work that six years ago, a team of four people per month served.

In harvesting and stamping production (ZSHP) IAZa made up 70% of future aircraft parts.

ZSHP located in three shops: stamping, and profile-shop slab.

8 workshops are part of the steel production. Currently foundry aircraft plant produces about 800 types of products, forging - about 2, 5 million, nonmetals shop - about 20 thousand.

In the shops of metallurgical production of parts made from one-third the size of a matchbox to frame the lantern of the Su-30.

In the electroplating area being prepared under the surface of the part lyumkontrol and anodizing. Through management coatings and heat treatment extends to 95% of the parts produced at the factory.

In the process of the luminescent control on aircraft parts smeared with a special solution and then powder, identify those defects that can be seen only under ultraviolet light.

This is one of several types of control parts, which are held on IAZe.

In the 34th complex division performed measurements geometric parameters of parts using CMMs ultrahigh precision. Only in 2013 in the department for more than 17 thousand pieces was measured.

In the shops of mechanical assembly production of various kinds of preparations obtained from the metallurgical and harvesting and stamping plants, made almost all the machining parts of the aircraft structure and its inner parts.

There are handled on machine tools - are stripped allowances, porting is performed, selected slots, etc...

Milling takes at least 80% of the total computer time processing of typical aircraft parts.

In the workshops SME manufactured, assembled and tested units and components gidropnevmotoplivnyh aircraft systems, control systems. Also here it makes the whole units - bar refueling, aircraft control station, etc...

Units of mechanical assembly production of one of the first at the plant began to use modern high-efficiency equipment, implement lean-technologies. Of the 100 high-performance machines that are currently working at the plant, 65 are SMEs.

After that, the details are collected in knots and go back - in the coating plant, and from there to the assembly.

Aggregate-assembly production. assembly line Su-30MKI and Su-30cm.

The divisions aggregate-assembly production of individual parts center-collected, the head and tail of the fuselage, wings, keels and other elements of the tail.

Then they were almost ready to dock and the aircraft transferred to the final assembly plant.

In addition, conventionally-assembler to aggregate production plant manufacturing relates pipelines of which the hydraulic system of the aircraft, and maslopodachi of fuel system, air conditioning and air supply.

In connection with the implementation of the project MS-21 the first three flights of the main case has taken a new assembly line. Even in the "small" modifications MC-21-200 scope of the new airliner wings will be 35, 9 meters. Leading Russian aircraft designers, in particular, experts are developing IAZa utility aircraft MS-21 for domestic and international airlines. Construction of the first flight model was completed in January 2014. By 2018, the plant plans to produce 65 aircraft a year.

7. The workshop final assembly shop

For installation and testing of the basic aircraft systems: hydraulics, fuel systems, engines, wings, landing gear, avionics and armament 320 people meet in the shop.

Most of the work is done manually. Often have to work hunched inside the fuselage.

The total length of wires in the Yak-130 is up to 30 km, and the Su-30 - more than 70 km.

Today, an aircraft factory employs 12,500 employees with an average age of 40 years.

The Yak-130 - the world's only training aircraft with performance characteristics similar to modern jet fighters. Enables rapid development of the piloting skills of the Su-30, MiG-29, F-16 and others.

Shop of international cooperation (Airbus)

As part of international industrial cooperation of JSC "Corporation" Irkut "in 2004 he signed with European companies Airbus S.A.S and EADS contracts for the supply of components for the A320 family of aircraft.

Today Irkutsk Aviation Plant - branch of JSC "Corporation" Irkut "is the serial production and delivery of these high-tech components: niche nose landing gear keel beam, flap track.

On average, each family of the third plane A320 equipped with components fabricated on the IAP.

workshop 16. Flight Test Division

This is the most important stage of manufacture of the aircraft, it is here that machine gets ready passport and Form "fit for use".

Before leaving the aircraft factory, each machine passes the acceptance tests.

testing stages are determined by the technical conditions for the production and testing of aircraft, which, in turn, fixed guests.

Radar Su-30 sees the enemy, depending on conditions at a distance of about 200 km. And can capture up to 10 targets simultaneously.

super-maneuverable Su-30cm provide engines with thrust vector control. For the first time this innovative technology applied to production aircraft Russian Air Force.

Run engine at various speeds

Maximum thrust in afterburner is 2 * 12500 kgs

"Passport" received, the product becomes a plane that can take the consignee. When the form is signed, the aircraft receives a representative of the operating organization and the group tehsostava. Then call the pilots, they conduct flyby. If the pilots give good, the buyer picks up the plane.

According to the Russian equipment flies "under its own power." For example, the Yak-130 ordered by the Defense Ministry, in 2013 flew from the airfield to the base of the IAP in Borisoglebsk. To send foreign consignees plane disassembled, packed and shipped by transport aircraft.
