Russia's Il-114-300 turboprop completes temperature tests from -49°C to +42°C

Russia's indigenously built Il-114-300 regional turboprop aircraft has completed temperature-related testing across extreme climate conditions. During trials in Uzbekistan, the aircraft's systems were tested at ground-level ambient temperatures of +42°C, with the plane logging more than 30 hours of flight as part of the program. Earlier this year, the aircraft underwent cold-weather testing in Siberia, where its systems were verified to operate at temperatures as low as -49°C.
