Russia's United Aircraft Corporation reported it has cut the first metal on a fuselage for the Ilyushin Il-114-300 regional turboprop. All seven fuselage sections will be made at the Sokol factory in Nizhny Novgorod that belongs to the Russian Aircraft Corporation 'MiG' (RAC MiG), a member of UAC. The manufacturer's statement, issued on February 14, said the very first example is "being made to serial technologies," meaning there will be no prototyping.
