The Center of the National Technological Initiative (CNTI) has set a deadline for the start of serial production of the Partizan, an unmanned version of the TVS-2MS aircraft. It is assumed that the car will go into production in 2024.
As reported in the TASS news agency, such a statement was made by the head of the industrial Council of the Central Research Institute Anton Ryazantsev during the educational intensive "Archipelago-2023", which was held in Novosibirsk.
- he declared.
At the end of last year, the head of the Siberian Aviation Research Institute (SibNIA), Vladimir Barsuk, announced the creation in 2023 of two prototypes of a new Partizan turboprop aircraft capable of performing a short takeoff and landing. In other words, he can take off from the helipad and land on it. The machine received this opportunity due to the presence of a distributed propeller-motor group consisting of several electric motors and providing active wing blowing. This provides the aircraft with the ability to take off from the ground and land at low speed.

Initially, it was supposed to launch the aircraft in the series in 2021, but the launch had to be postponed, since the imported components originally included in the project were unavailable due to sanctions. We had to urgently establish their production in Russia.
