CJSC Aviastar-SP (Russian: «Авиастар-СП») is a Russian aircraft factory based in Ulyanovsk and founded in 1976. It is a closed shares joint stock company. It replaced the Soviet Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex and manufactures the cargo aircraft An-124 Ruslan, Il-76[1][2] and the whole Tu-204 family (except Tu-214).
History
Designed from scratch in the early 1970s to produce a new generation of strategic bombers, the Ulyanovsk Aviation Production Complex (renamed Aviastar in November 1991 when it became a joint stock enterprise) is said to be the largest aviation production facility in the world and one of the newest in Russia.[3]
It produces the An-124 long-range heavy transport aircraft and the 200-seat Tu-204 medium-range airliner. Ulyanovsk was originally intended to have airframe, avionics, and engine manufacturing facilities all in one complex, but the avionics and engine facilities have not been completed.[3]
The plant also owns 40,000 acres of arable land on which it produced agricultural goods for its workers and for sale in the early 1990s.[3] In 2007, 1.25% of Aviastar-SP capital has been injected into United Aircraft Corporation by the Russian Federation.
Operation
Aviastar-SP JSC, together with JSC IL and UAC-Transport Aircraft, is implementing a project to produce the Il-76MD-90A heavy transport aircraft, a modification of the Il-76 aircraft. Significant changes have been made to the design of the new aircraft: the wing and center section structures have been modernized, the landing gear has been strengthened, and upgraded engines have been installed. The on-board electronic and navigation system has been significantly changed, which includes modern digital equipment.
The company is producing a promising Il-78M-90A tanker based on the IL-76. Ministry of Defence of Russia plans to use the aircraft not only for refueling aircraft, but also for transporting goods and extinguishing fires. It will be a fundamentally new aircraft.
