The Ilyushin Il-103 is a single-engine, low-wing training aircraft developed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau that started in 1990 in the Soviet Union. The aircraft is now produced in Russia. [1] It was the first Russian aircraft to achieve Federal Aviation Administration certification, in 1998, for sales in the United States. [2]
Reviewers Dave Unwin and Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as "very robust, safe and comfortable. It was designed for everyday operation on poor runways and with the ability to cope with every variation of the harsh Russian climate." [2]
Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation reached an agreement with Aviation Engineering Zrt of Pécs, Hungary, to develop and licence produce a modernised version of the Ilyushin Il-103 in Hungary in March 2021. [3]

The Tupolev Tu-114 Rossiya is a large turboprop-powered long-range airliner designed by the Tupolev design bureau and built in the Soviet Union from May 1955. The aircraft was the largest and fastest passenger plane at that time and also had the longest range, at 10,900 km (6,800 mi). It has held the official title of fastest propeller-driven aircraft since 1960.

The Ilyushin Il-6 was a Soviet long-range bomber developed from the Ilyushin Il-4 during 1942. Originally intended as a high-speed replacement for the Il-4, it was recast as a very long-range bomber with fuel-conserving diesel engines before production of the single prototype began in December 1942. Flight testing showed controllability issues when landing at high weights and the engines proved to be hard to start at low temperatures and were slow to respond to throttle movements. Further development was canceled in 1944.
The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a four- or five-seat fully aerobatic utility aircraft developed by Yakovlev.
