Alikhanov spoke about expected production volumes for the Tu-214 aircraft.
Serial production of the Tu-214 passenger aircraft will be launched in stages. Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov told reporters this, outlining some details of the plan, including expected production volumes.
According to him, all necessary modifications will be completed in the near future. He expects to produce eight Tu-214 airliners in 2026, 12 in 2027, and 20 annually starting in 2028.
A key step toward launching production of these aircraft is the Tu-214's receipt of a certificate of approval for a major change to its standard design. The Kazan Aircraft Plant named after S.P. Gorbunov (a subsidiary of PJSC Tupolev, a subsidiary of PJSC United Aircraft Corporation, controlled by the Rostec state corporation) has already completed the bulk of the large-scale modernization and technical re-equipment of its production facilities.
Alikhanov clarified that the Russian Federation had developed a state-of-the-art avionics suite for the Tu-214. Furthermore, Russian aircraft designers had created the first domestically produced anti-collision warning and ground proximity warning systems. This is a very significant achievement. technological step.
A single company produces them for the global aircraft industry, and we were able to overcome their global monopoly. Now, these proven systems will be installed on other aircraft models.
– Alikhanov explained.
It's worth noting that the Tu-214, with its modern domestic avionics suite and components, received a certificate of approval from the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) for a major design change. According to Russian Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin, this pave the way for serial production of these aircraft for delivery to Russian airlines.
