What is the Let L-610?
The Let L-610 was a military transport aircraft. This means it was mainly used by the armed forces. It was designed to help move soldiers or supplies. The plane had a high wing, which means its wings were attached to the top of the fuselage (the main body of the plane). This design often helps with stability and allows for better ground clearance.
How Many Were Built?
Even though it was designed to be a useful plane, only eight examples of the Let L-610 were ever built. These planes were made between 1988 and 1990. This makes the L-610 a very rare aircraft. Building only a few planes is common for prototypes or designs that don't go into full production.
Its Purpose and Design
The Let L-610 was a twin-turboprop aircraft. This means it had two engines that used propellers, powered by turbine engines. Turboprop engines are known for being fuel-efficient and good for shorter flights. The plane was intended to be a modern update to older transport planes. It was designed to carry about 40 passengers or a similar weight in cargo.
