Antonov Design Bureau
 

More properly known as Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex named after Antonov, Antonov Design Bureau are the only flight testing organisation in Ukraine. Activity is principally flight testing of prototypes of their design prior to release for full flight testing by Interstate Aviation Committee, the supra-national airworthiness authority in CIS. Currently working on the An70 flight test programme.
Antonov are looking to interface with other flight testing organisations with a view to sharing experience, comparison of methods, procedures and standards, harmonisation and the spread of best practice.

Anyone out there interested?

Please don't anyone talk about secrecy and competitors. They have more to worry about in that department than you have. They are talking about general methodology - not details.

May one respectfully suggest that the interchange of flight test ideas already happens through forums know as:

society of experimental test pilots

society of flight test engineers

maybe your friends at Antonov could attend a few symposia or even offer to host one and initiate the discussions that way!!!

He has a point, I don't recall anybody from Antonov (or in fact any Russians at-all) at this years SETP European shindig.

Thanks guys. I'll take those as constructive and helpful suggestions.

Any contact names/numbers available?

Anyone got any more ideas?

If you go to www.sfte.org then you will have a pretty good launch pad!

If you need someone to come & give a presentation on newly certified turboprops let me know - my morals are as low as my fees!!

Thankyou Ex FTE
