Tu-214, MS-21, and More: Russia to Allocate Nearly 900 Billion Rubles to Create New Aircraft

The Russian government has ordered the allocation of 865.6 billion rubles for the creation of civil aircraft until 2030.

This includes capital investments, bank financing, and funds from project participants. The plan is to build over 600 passenger aircraft with this money.

 PJSC "UAC" [a subsidiary of Rostec] showcased the assembly process of the latest MS-21 and SJ-100. Additionally, footage of the production of the "black" wing, which reduces the weight of the MS-21's airframe and improves the aircraft's aerodynamic qualities, can be seen. The workshops where the Il-96-300, Il-96-400M, Il-114-300, and Tu-2 are made were also captured.

Specifically, 142 SSJ100s, 270 MS-21s, 115 Tu-214s, 70 Il-114s, and 12 Il-96-300s. In total, Russian carriers expect the delivery of 1,800 aircraft and helicopters by 2030.

Earlier, Rosaviatsiya approved the modernization of MS-21-300/310, which will be able to carry 211 people on board. It is known that UAC is behind schedule for the production of Tu-214 aircraft due to the need to improve production at the Kazan Aviation Plant.
