"Rostec" showed footage on social networks from one of the closed enterprises that produces domestic electronics for the MC-21 and SJ-100. This is the Ulyanovsk Design Bureau of Instrument Engineering (UKBP).
The Ulyanovsk Design Bureau of Instrument Engineering is a leading Russian developer and manufacturer of airborne radio-electronic equipment for all types of aircraft. It is part of the "Rostec" KRET subsidiary.
A piece of UKBP products is in every aircraft or helicopter in Russia. They produce:
- information and control field of the cockpit of main passenger and transport aircraft;
- systems for controlling general aircraft and general helicopter equipment, power distribution systems, information collection and processing systems;
- inertial heading and navigation systems;
- indicators on LCD panels for ground equipment, control panels;
- provision of lighting climate in the aircraft cabin, light signaling.
UKBP also designs and verifies software and mathematical support for aircraft. This activity includes the development, maintenance, testing and verification of software embedded in equipment, operating in real time, certified according to the requirements of CT-178C, GOST R 51904-2002.
This video shows approximately one-hundredth of the electronic components for aviation that UKBP produces.
And this is what the ceiling panel for the Russian MC-21 airliner looks like, which will soon be put into mass production.
Last fall, KRET shipped the first set of fully Russian avionics for the cabin of the import-substituted MC-21 to the customer: control panels for aircraft systems and lighting equipment. The first 6 aircraft were supposed to be produced in 2024, but the production dates have been postponed.
Added:
GC "Rostec" explained why the onboard equipment for the SJ-100 and other aircraft, manufactured by the KRET subsidiary, has inscriptions on the panels not in Russian, but in English.
Today, pilots of mainline airliners and dispatchers of all countries speak the same language – English. An analysis of aviation incidents has shown that the use of one working language significantly increases the efficiency of communication in critical situations and reduces the likelihood of an incident. In addition, the English-language cabin will allow our aircraft to enter the international market without additional modifications.
That is, English inscriptions are not planned to be "import-substituted".
