The new Russian MC-21 aircraft is equipped with an active joystick, which distinguishes it from Airbus models. This means that the flight becomes safer, since the first and second pilots can control each other's actions, said military pilot, first class pilot Andrei Krasnoperov.
According to him, he is more optimistic and emphasizes that rushing when creating a new aircraft will not help anyone.
If they said by 2030, it means they can do it. MC-21 is an excellent aircraft, my test pilot friends praise the machine.
Krasnoperov added that the delay in mass production is due to sanctions.
But the aircraft itself has been flown, everything is fine. The airframe itself is ready and tested, there are problems with components, there were with the engine. They wanted to install a foreign one, now they have made their own.
Earlier www1.ru reported that 400 million rubles were allocated for the modernization of Tu-214.
