MiG-AT aircraft

The two-seat jet MiG-AT trainer of new generation is intended for pilots' training at the primary, basic and advanced stages with elements of combat application and for maintaining military pilots' skills in formation flying.

The trainer high performance, enhanced thrust-to-weight ratio, avionics of "4+" generation with open architecture, digital fly-by-wire system make possible to significantly reduce the time and cost of pilots training for such aircraft as MiG-29, Su-27, Mirage-2000, Rafale, Typhoon, F-16 etc.

The MiG-AT trainer is the first aircraft in Russia equipped with a digital three-channel four-fold redundant fly-by-wire system of national design.

The said fly-by-wire system prevents the dangerous stall conditions and thus enhances flight safety in the event of the trainee's erroneous actions.

The MiG-AT trainer can be equipped with the French (TopFlight system produced by the THALES Avionics company) or with the Russian airborne radio-electronic equipment. The cockpit ergonomic design corresponds to the fighters of the "4+" and "4++" generations. The display system employs color liquid-crystal indicators. The cockpit controls are designed to suit the HOTAS concept.

The MiG-AT trainer is equipped with the K-93L unique reduced-weight ejection seat enhancing the safety of trainee and instructor. The specific features of the K-93L ejection seat developed by the ZVEZDA joint-stock company are as follows:
– the possibility of pilots ejection at V=0, H=0 as well as in "inverted flight", at minimum altitude of 50 m;
– minimum time of ejection (about 1 sec) and the possibility of ejection through the cockpit canopy glazing.

The MiG-AT trainer is powered by two LARZAC 04R20 engines, with thrust of 1430 kgf, produced by the SNECMA company (SAFRAN Group). For the Russian Air Force it has been developed the aircraft version equipped with new domestic RD-1700 engines with thrust of 1700 kgf and airborne avionics of the Russian production.

There is the version of the power plant including the AL-55 engines.

The MiG-AT trainer is remarkable for its operational features and independence. The aircraft is intended for 15000 flight hours, can be operated at field aerodromes without using the external power, pneumatic and oxygen systems.

Based on the MiG-AT aircraft the family of the various purpose light aircraft can be created.

The RAC "MiG" considers the proposals for setting up the serial production of the MiG-AT aircraft in countries-customers.
