MC-21 to be delivered to airlines next year
The MS-21 passenger aircraft will be delivered to Russian airlines in 2025. Also, during his speech at the Transport of Russia forum, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin noted that the Russian air fleet will acquire a new look based on domestic solutions.
In addition, the Prime Minister spoke about the importance of launching mass production of airliners, including updated versions of the Baikal, Il-96, Tu-114, Tu-214 and Superjets. The financial component of the assembly of new aircraft and helicopters has already been determined.
The day before, the head of the state corporation Rostec, Sergei Chemezov call The MS-21 is the most "sanctioned" aircraft of the Russian Federation. During the modernization, the designers abandoned the American Pratt & Whitney PW1431G engine and many other foreign parts, successfully replacing them with Russian analogues.
Earlier, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov reported that the MS-21 could receive a shortened version. The official noted that an aircraft with a shorter fuselage will allow companies to use the airliner more efficiently, given its reduced weight.
Meanwhile, the new Russian Superjet and MS-21 aircraft are not inferior in profitability to Western aircraft. This opinion was expressed by Alexander Dolotovsky, Deputy General Director of PJSC Yakovlev. High-quality after-sales support for civil aircraft is also provided in the Russian Federation.
