The Russian delegation visiting here comprised V.Ye.Barsuk, a Representative of Novosibirsk Council and A.N.Lyulko, Head of the city’s Industry, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Department. During the visit, the delegation got familiarized with assembling of a new airplane TBC-2MC using basic frames of the AN-2 plane. Launched by engineers and technical experts of the Mongolian Airlines, this work was highly appreciated by the Russian delegation. After legging the unit, the sides exchanged views on possibilities of further cooperation. It is projected that the plane TBC-2MC would have some advantages, for instance, it uses a short runway and consumes small amount of petroleum, yet the takeoff weight is relatively high. This plane could be used for general purposes in Mongolia, such as, fighting forest and steppe fires, harmful insects as well as for tourism sector, when it is assembled in the country. E.Altanzul
