U.S. Global strategic networks, published November 30 entitled “” Ruslan “born again” article. Article on Russia in the recent resumption of very large transport aircraft production line to do an -124 related comments that the rapid growth of international large-scale commercial air transport market is the country’s re-starting the direct cause of the production line.
The article said that after three years of planning, Russia finally agreed to reopen an -124 transport aircraft production line. Preliminary plans to produce at least 70 per aircraft cost about 200 million U.S. dollars. AN -124 design is completed after the end of the Cold War, when only produced 60. However, due to major international air cargo market, the rapid development and its growth rate higher than the general air cargo market nearly doubled, so the Russian side intends to play an -124 wish to return to production lines, and further to seize the ownership rate of the market.
AN -124 and the U.S. Air Force C-5 “Galaxy” strategic transport aircraft at the same level, is the world’s only two kinds of the current large volume of goods can be transported by the strategic transport aircraft (An -225 has been retired due to maintenance cost). The AN -124 is the is the only available commercial charter service “darling.” Three years ago, it was proposed to resume the production of an -124. Intends starting in 2008, plans to produce 50 or more an -124. But to raise the funds required are experiencing some difficulties. It is reported that re-starting the whole production line of at least 50 billion dollars. Only to recently obtained the support of the Russian government was able to get this enormous number of funds, while all of the parts suppliers have also been integrated and organization in place.
An -124 “Ruslan” ( “Ruslan” is a Russian folk tale of a hero’s name) is by far the world’s largest aircraft payload weight of up to 150 ton. AN -124 flown at speeds of 800 to 850 km to 4,500 km range carrying. If you provide more fuel, its payload range up to 16 500 km. So far, about 40-an – 124 engaged in commercial air transport operations, another 20 military service in the countries concerned.
The 20th century, late 80’s, an improved version of -124 – -225 An official came, it is a greater volume than an -124. Taiwan has six engine (an -124 to four units) and the relatively larger wings, AN -225 can carry a total of more than 250 tons of cargo. Second Antonov -225 began manufacturing at the end of the Cold War. Once the construction of the aircraft because the country was forced to a standstill by the attribution, but to see an -124 of the commercial air transport market demand is very strong, which makes the Antonov -225 to completion of the construction. The new security -225 per plane cost about 250 million U.S. dollars. But in comparison with the United States, the new C-17 of the 225 million U.S. dollars in costs, there is clearly room for bargaining. C-17 can carry 79 tons of cargo. Articles in the final, said that if sales of the new security -124 sought after by the market, then the additional security will also be for sale -225.
