The Russian Il-114-300 turboprop aircraft has completed an additional stage of certification testing in the Arctic. The aircraft completed a series of takeoffs and landings from airfields on Novaya Zemlya and Franz Josef Land. The Il-114-300 is designed to develop regional air service and operate in a wide range of climate zones. The aircraft can take off and land from small airfields, regardless of the level of their ground infrastructure, including short runways. The aircraft is built entirely from Russian components and is powered by TV7-117ST-01 engines.
