The UMMC Press Service has informed RusBusinessNews that L-410 New Generation will be equipped with digital avionics systems and a new engine; it will have a long single-piece wing.

The serial production of L-410 NG aircraft is scheduled to be launched in 2017. The aircraft mockup will be presented at the International Exhibition INNOPROM 2015, which will be held in Ekaterinburg in summer.

The factory is designing the model of the next generation – L-410 NG (New Generation). Outside Russia, L-410 aircraft are supplied to countries of Europe, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
