'Dingo' amphibian by NPP "AeroRIK" (Designer General Viktor Morozov)
|
Light multi-role amphibian aircraft with air cushion landing gear, 'Dingo' was designed for cargo-passenger operation from most basic airfields, without developed infrastructure. Aircraft has no analogs on the World market. The basic cargo-passenger model may be re-equipped for any of following roles:
- Monitoring of pipelines and electric power lines
- SAR operations
- Aerial cartography
- Farming
- Detection and neutralization of oil spills
- Fish search
- Liaison
- Firefighter
'Dingo' has twin-tailboom layout with low wing and raised tailplane. Pusher and lift engines are located behind the fuselage. 'Landing gear' consists of air cushion, contained between inflatable pontoons and takeoff/landing flaps located at the leading and trailing edges of the wing. In case of failure of both engines, non-crash landing on the ground field is still possible. Utilizing of wing-in-ground effect on touchdown and pontoons as 'skids' provides sufficient safety.

Aircraft mockup was demonstrated at MosAeroShow in 1992. First production batch (6 aircraft) started in 1997 at Nizhnij Novgorod 'Sokol' factory. Estimated market for 'Dingo' is no less than 600 aircraft.
'Dingo' (mockup?) was presented at Zhukovskij MAKS-97 airshow in August 1997. First aircraft was announced in 2-month readiness in May 1999, with some $700,000 necessary to bring aircraft in the air. In July 2000 situation did not change.
