The '''Su-38L''' is a Russian agricultural aircraft, the first aircraft of this type to be designed and built by the [[Sukhoi Design Bureau]] civil aircraft section (Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (CJSC)). As no users have yet expressed interest in the aircraft, the project is currently proceeding at a low pace.

The Sukhoi Su-38 (Russian: Сухой Су-38) is a Russian agricultural aircraft, the first aircraft of this type to be designed and built by the Sukhoi Design Bureau civil aircraft section (Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (CJSC)).

Design and development

[edit]

Design originally began in 1993 as a development of the Sukhoi Su-29 aerobatic aircraft.[1][2] Development was suspended due to economic problems, and when restarted in 1998, the aircraft was redesigned, reducing the aircraft's size and replacing the originally planned M-14 radial engine with a LOM Praha 337S inline engine.[1][3] The first prototype made its maiden flight on 27 July 2001, with a second flying by June 2002.[1] As no users have yet[when?] expressed interest in the aircraft, the project is currently proceeding at a low pace.[citation needed]
