I’m kind of alive, I guess. I’ll say this in advance: please understand and forgive me for using Ozoi's figure, it’s an integral part of BAI aircraft.

Heeellooo! So, as I mentioned in the description of the previous aircraft, BAI is currently shifting a bit towards civil aviation. Because… well, you know, it’s not always about fighting only… and there’s money to be made in this niche as well. Since the Yak-40, there haven’t really been (as far as I know) similar aircraft: a short-haul airliner with a capacity of 30–40 passengers (mine has 40 seats, by the way) and capable of operating basically in any backwater, even without a proper runway. Therefore, the L-1 could be sold to not-so-wealthy countries with not-so-great infrastructure, and we could also use it ourselves. That’s about it.
