Domestic airlines are expecting the delivery of 1.8 thousand modern aircraft and helicopters assembled in Russia by 2030, said the head of Rosaviatsia Dmitry Yadrov at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy.
According to him, Rosaviatsia is working on the certification of a number of new types of aircraft, including the import-substituted passenger aircraft Sj-100 and the light multi-purpose aircraft "Baikal" (the aircraft is designed to replace the outdated An-2 - editor's note www1.ru).
In addition, the agency is working to develop transport infrastructure on the ground. In 2023, the construction and modernization of 15 facilities was planned under the program for the development of airports in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
According to UAC, a number of Rostec enterprises worked on the localization of Sj-100. Radio stations and communication equipment were supplied by NPP "Polet". Specialists from UEC-UMPO were responsible for the aircraft's power supply system and the development of new landing gear.
Titanium, from which the aircraft's power structures were made, was supplied by VSMPO-AVISMA employees. Sj-100 received a Russian PD-8 engine from UEC. The first flight of the aircraft with the new engine is scheduled for December 2023.
