"Legendary" aircraft that made an emergency landing at the disused Izhma airfield seen at Domodedovo in less than a 6 months after recovery flight from Izhma.
The aircraft suffered a complete failure of electric power resulting in loss of navigation devices and fuel pumps.The crew was able to put the airplane down onto Izhma's abandoned runway (about 1200 meters long) now only used as a helicopter platform but overran the runway by about 150-200 meters into a small wood.
RA-85684 flown by test pilots of Tupolev took the skies again on Mar 24th 2011 departing from Izhma with 11 tons of fuel on board using a takeoff distance of 800 meters/2600 feet, flew a circuit at low level over Izhma and continued to Ukhta for a safe landing. The gear was not retracted during the flight as planned. The airplane was further flown to Samara where final repairs will be made before the airplane returns to service with Alrosa Mirny.
