The first flight of the imported aircraft Sukhoi Superjet New will take place in May. This was announced by Alexander Voit, General Director of the Ulyanovsk Instrument Design Bureau, which is part of KRET JSC of the Rostec State Corporation.

In the coming years, the liner should become the basis of the domestic fleet. The main task of the design bureau was to replace the imported engine with a domestic one. The unit has already been developed, but serial production is needed.



The first flight of the SSJ New is scheduled for the month of May. Everything that the pilots see in the cockpit is done in the UKBP, everything that signals the pilot is also done. This is the most significant event that we are all looking forward to this year.
 
Voight said.

According to the head of the enterprise, on-board electronic equipment, display systems, control panels, external and internal lighting equipment is now the main project that is being implemented both at the Ulyanovsk enterprise and in the country.

Alexander Voit also said that the first Tu-214 with Russian equipment will be released by the end of 2023. This model will also become an integral part of the Russian air fleet in the future, along with the SSJ New and MS-21. Some details for the liner will be produced in Belarus.
