The high-wing light transport is powered by two Klimov TV7-117ST turboprops. The initial variant is the Il-112V military transport, with a civil Il-112T version also planned. The aircraft is designed to replace the Antonov An-26 transport aircraft.
The launch of flight-testing is a significant milestone, as the schedule has been hit by several delays.
