The fact that Baikal will be able to land on snow and water, TASS reported on February 9. The appearance of the new versions of the car was not shown then.
The aircraft is being created as a replacement for the famous Soviet An-2, nicknamed "Cornhusker". Today, this aircraft is obsolete. Russia plans to produce from 30 to 50 "Baikal" per year. Experts estimated the Russian state order market for LMS-901 at 300 cars by the end of the decade.
