M-101T is first certified Russian business a/c
Zhukovsky, Russia-based Myasishchev has received Russian AP-23 type certification for its M-101T  business aircraft.

Zhukovsky, Russia-based Myasishchev has received Russian AP-23 type certification for its M-101T  business aircraft. The M-101T has a pressurized cabin and a single 760-shp Walter M601-22F turboprop driving on Avia V-510 propeller.

Myasishchev had nicknamed the aircraft “Gzhel”–a common Russian word for hand-painted porcelain as well as a village near the plant where the airplanes are made–but a controversy over the use of the porcelain manufacturer’s name prompted a decision to drop it. The turboprop posts many firsts: first Russian business aircraft ever certified; first Myasishchev commercial aircraft to reach civil certification; and first commercially funded Russian aerospace product.
