The British media corporation BBC expressed doubts in an article about Russia's ability to put the construction of new aircraft on stream. The publication of the material coincided with the date of the first flight of the new Superjet with domestic PD-8 engines, Rostec noted.
The state corporation recalled that the MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft actually had to be reassembled from scratch due to the refusal of Western "partners" to cooperate. About 80 systems and units have been replaced, including the "hearts" of the aircraft – the engines.
We hasten to reassure English well-wishers that the MC-21 and Superjet-100 programs, despite the sanctions restrictions, have reached the finish line — the stage of certification flights.
Even taking into account temporary delays, this was done in record time. For example, the PD-8 engine for the Superjet was created in just 6 years — twice as fast as common foreign counterparts. The start of serial deliveries of new aircraft is scheduled for 2026.
By the way, Great Britain, one might say, does not have its own aviation industry. And it is unlikely to ever appear. What is dead cannot die. We wish our colleagues never to become hostages of this situation.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Superjet aircraft with PD-8 engines made its first flight.
