Manufacturer catalog
Tashkent Aviation Production Association was the Soviet and Uzbek aircraft-production complex in Tashkent best known in this catalog for historical Il-76 heavy transport aircraft assembly.
2 weaponsThe Tashkent aircraft plant began as Factory No. 84 in Khimki near Moscow, was evacuated to Tashkent during World War II, and became one of the Soviet Union's major transport-aircraft production centers.
For catalog purposes, its most important link is the Il-76 family: the Tashkent works produced Il-76 variants and related Il-78 and A-50 airframes before post-Soviet financial pressure, bankruptcy proceedings, and a 2014 reorganization shifted the enterprise away from complete aircraft production.
The successor entity, JSC Tashkent Mechanical Plant, now presents itself as an industrial and repair business at the same Elbek Street address, while modern Il-76 production is associated with Aviastar-SP in Ulyanovsk rather than the former Tashkent association.
The Tashkent association is documented as a producer of Il-76 cargo aircraft variants, with the cataloged Il-76 entry carrying this builder facet.

The aircraft-production association is defunct as a complete aircraft builder and has been reorganized as Tashkent Mechanical Plant, so current official information is available mainly through the successor company's site. Historical production and corporate details rely on secondary aviation and regional-business sources with variant English transliterations of TAPO/TAPOiCh.
