Udalov, Konstantin: The smallest „IL“, Moscow 2024, 112 pages
The S.V. Ilyushin Design Bureau is hardly worth introducing - it is a world-famous design bureau, which for 90 years of its existence has created dozens of different aircraft for use in the Air Force, Navy and national economy. Konstantin Udalov has repeatedly addressed the Ilyushin subject, having published a number of monographs on Il aircraft. The manuscript on the aeroplane was started about 10 years ago, but was on the shelf for a number of reasons, including being busy with other publications. And recently my colleague Igor Ilyin remarked that it would be good to finish the work I had started. It was Igor Anatolievich who moved the stone and here you see the story of IL103, the smallest aircraft of the IL family.
After the collapse of the USSR, the fall of the Iron Curtain and the change of the country's political regime, aviation enterprises, deprived of a large military order, were forced to literally survive. To some extent, a way out was found in light aviation. Design bureaus, which had never before created light civil aircraft, began to design light-engine and administrative civil aircraft. In the hope of entering the world market, the former creators of formidable machines switched to the creation of multi-purpose and administrative aircraft. At the turn of the troubled 90s, all aviation design bureaus of the former USSR were designing and building new aircraft for the new country. The Tupolev Design Bureau, known the world over for its bombers, was designing the Tu-34, Tu-44 and Tu-64 multi-purpose light aircraft. The Myasishchev EMZ was designing the M101 Gzhel administrative aircraft. The Sukhoi Design Bureau produced light multipurpose aircraft S84 and S86. In the Beriev TANTK - light amphibian Be-103. Countless private design bureaus have produced hundreds of paper projects. The Ilyushin Design Bureau carried out similar work - the IL-103 multi-purpose light-engine aircraft was being developed. This story about it, is told in this book from the idea of its creation to the history of its operation. The book starts with a short comparism between the Il-103 and its main international competitors in the early 1990s: the Cessna 172, the Piper Cherokee, Beechcraft Musketeer or the Socata TB-10.
Udalov traces the (economical) difficult beginnings of the serial product Il-103 in the 1990s (pp. 14-22), its cerfitifcation process with all its ups and downs (pp. 34-55), first successes on international markets (e.g. even in South Korea) (pp. 66-73). A short technical description at the end (pp. 102-110). Its a truly nice and informative book about Ilyushins "smallest aircraft". I wish everyone a good reading!
