Abstract

Conceptions of a light multi-purpose aircraft for regional air lines are developed basing on analysis for aviation in regions of the Russian Federation. A necessity is shown to develop a family of the aircraft. A basic aircraft type of the family is a multi-purpose aeroplane with a biplane aerodynamic design. A passenger version of the aircraft is realized with a high-wing design. Some principles are offered to provide required level of flight safety and to reduce operating costs.
