Let L-410 "Turbolet" (other names: L-410, Let-410, "Turbolet", "Cheburashka") is a light multi-purpose twin-engine aircraft for local air lines (IL). Developed in 1966-1967 by the design bureau of the Czechoslovak aircraft factory Let Kunovice (now the Czech factory Aircraft Industries). Designed for operation on unprepared unpaved, grassy, ​​snowy areas, as well as on airfields with short runways.

Starting from 1969, 1104 L-410 aircraft of various modifications were built (most of them - L-410 UVP), 862 of them were delivered to the Soviet Union and were actively used for the transport of passengers and cargo on local airlines. By the beginning of 1992, after the collapse of the USSR, about 750 L-410 aircraft remained in the Soviet Union, a significant part of which remained at the airports of the former Soviet republics.

In the late 1980s, the production of L-410 UVP-E20 modification aircraft began, which since that time have been produced in the amount of about 200 units and delivered to more than 30 countries of the world. In 2010, development began, and in 2018, mass production of the L-410 family of the latest modification, the L-410 NG, began.
