The new Russian MC-21-310 aircraft still has components from unfriendly countries. This was reported by the head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec), Vadim Badeha.
The prototype of the MC-21 medium-range aircraft first took to the sky from the airfield of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant of PJSC "Yakovlev" on April 29.
Of the foreign components, only three non-essential systems remain — drives, brakes, and generators. The Russian systems simply did not have time to be installed on this particular aircraft; in other aircraft, even these systems will be domestic.
The head of UAC added that the corporation is setting itself the task of ensuring that the cost and себестоимость of import-substituted aircraft are efficient for operation and comparable to the cost of foreign analogues.
This cannot be done quickly and head-on, also for understandable reasons, because when we talk about the first batches, they are always more expensive. And the reasons why we are more expensive are all clear — the production run is still small, the interest rate, investments in the creation of completely new systems and units.
Earlier www1.ru reported that ODK revealed the technology of "growing" blades for PD-8 and PD-14 aircraft engines.
