Il-114-300: Russia’s New Regional Workhorse and India’s Potential Co-Producer
Russia’s newest regional turboprop, the Il-114-300, is entering the final stages before mass production — and it’s already attracting international interest. Designed as a fully domestic aircraft, the Il-114-300 is built for reliability, autonomy, and operations in some of the world’s harshest environments.
