The Grigoriev Gr-215 (NATO reporting name: "Clumsy") is a four-engine medium-range narrow-body airliner. It is the last version based on the successful Gr-214 series of aircraft. Aeroflot has placed a order of 25 aircraft and many expect it to be the next Soviet workhorse of civil aviation.

The Gr-215 has a cruising speed of 835 kilometers per hour and has a range of 5,150 kilometers. Capable of operating from unpaved and gravel airfields with only basic facilities, it will be widely used on rural destinations.
