The LMS-9 and LMS-19 (Russian: Легкие многоцелевые самолеты - ЛМС, Lightweight multifunctional airplanes) are light airliners projected by Austrian Diamond Aircraft and Russian Rostec via Oboronprom subsidiary Ural Works of Civil Aviation based in Yekaterinburg.[3]
At the June 2013 Paris Air Show, they agreed to develop a 19 seater composite airframe.[1] At the August 2013 MAKS Air Show, it was priced at Rb120 million ($3.62 million) along a Rb80 million ($2.41 million) nine-seater, with scale models on display.[4] In November, first flight was planned for 2015.[2]
Aircraft design process should be completed in 2014, to proceed to aircraft testing before production in 2017-2018. With a 9.4 billion rubles cost estimate, Rostec is committing 383 million rubles within 2 bln secured, leaving a 8 bln need. In 2013-2016, 5 billion rubles will be leveraged from the Russian National Wealth Fund for research and development, transfer of technologies, new factory creation and type certification. In 2016-2017, 3 billion rubles from the federal budget of Russia will fund certification completion, initial required equipment acquisition and aircraft maintenance and repair system creation. In 2016-2018 900 million rubles will be needed to achieve the design capacity. Rostec plan to sell for 51.4 billion rubles by 2025 (excluding VAT) for a 16.235 billion rubles accumulated profit - a 32% return on sales, and to supply 800 aircraft by 2030, after the 10.39 years discounted payback period.[5]
