The launch dates of the promising Russian-Belarusian aircraft Osvey have been confirmed

Development of multi-purpose Aircraft "Osvey" is proceeding in strict accordance with the approved schedule. The First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government shared information about the readiness of the aircraft.


The presentation of the technical appearance of the light aviation representative will take place next month of this year. The main manufacturers of the promising LMS-192 project are the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ural Civil Aviation Plant (UZGA), and the 558th Aircraft Repair Plant.

The latter is located in the city of Baranovichi in the Republic of Belarus. The enterprise is considered one of the largest in the CIS.


The company's main activity is the modernization and repair of modern aviation equipment. In the Osvey project, the plant will be engaged in both key stages of production and secondary tasks.

Once all technical parameters have been approved, the parties will proceed to joint financing and implementation of the following stages:

✅ working design
✅ assembly of a prototype
✅ static and flight tests

Activities aimed at the production of Osvey are strictly regulated by the contractual obligations of the parties. The intergovernmental agreement was signed back in April last year.

A month later, the project was included in the Program for the Development of the Russian Aviation Industry. According to this document, by 2030 the production tandem should produce 158 Osvey aircraft. As for the shorter term, the industrial union plans to build the debut prototype of the LMS-192 at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

According to preliminary estimates, the total circulation of the aircraft will be 180 units. The Russian side has already placed an order for half of the planned production volume.


The Osvey project is a multi-purpose light aircraft with a capacity of 19 people. The power plant is Russian-made VK-800 turboprop engines.

The takeoff power of the unit is 800, and the cruising power is 450 hp. The joint-stock company "Radioelectronic Technologies" is responsible for the creation of the on-board equipment complex.

"Osvey" will be used in state aviation. Also under consideration are options for use in the civil segment. In the second case, the manufacturer implies commercial air transportation on local and regional air routes of short and medium distances.
