At the Aviastar enterprise in Ulyanovsk they are building a production line
UAC announced the modernization of production at the «Aviastar» (branch of PJSC «Il» – Aviastar) in Ulyanovsk: as part of the technical re-equipment of the unit assembly production, the workshops are being built into a production line, which will allow aircraft to be assembled, as on a conveyor belt. Moreover, we are not talking about some light single-engine aircraft: heavy transport (and recently modernized) Il-76MD-90A are assembled in Ulyanovsk.
According to UAC, unused equipment will be removed from the workshops, and the stocks will be built along the lines of a certain cycle of assembling the aircraft into the flow. In the workshops for assembling the tail, center section and aircraft compartments, the reconstruction was almost completely completed. All work is planned to be completed in February. It is not reported how much the production of IL-76MD-90A will increase after the reorganization of production.
