Viktor Gorbachev, Director General of the "Airport" Association of Civil Aviation, called the plans of the airline "Aeroflot" to receive a hundred of the newest MC-21 aircraft by 2030 "fairy tales." The aviation expert explained that the reason for talking about the MC-21 is that domestic airlines simply have no other options at the moment.
Gorbachev reminded that neither the equipment, nor the aircraft itself, nor the engines have passed certification.
It is unknown how long all these tests will take. The transition to domestic aircraft is the right thing to do, but they simply do not physically exist yet.
He suggested that the MC-21 could start being produced in 2026, but at a maximum volume of five units per year.
Even if 10 aircraft are produced per year, it will take 20 years to replace the foreign aircraft fleet. We are not particularly happy yet, we are flying on what we have.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that features of the Russian Su-34 and Su-24 were noticed in the first image of the unique 6th generation J-36 fighter.
