History
The UVP was developed for Aeroflot, which was dissatisfied with the earlier L-410. It has a larger wing and tail area.
Variants
Changes from the L-410M included a longer wingspan, a higher horizontal stabiliser and larger wing and tail area. The UVP-E later added more powerful M601E engines and five-blade propellers.
Where you'll see it
The L-410UVP and its derivatives were built in large numbers, with more than 1,000 L-410s constructed by 1990, many serving with Aeroflot and with military operators.
