Russia has an understanding of how to make a supersonic passenger aircraft, but the liner will be expensive to operate, and there is no demand for it today. This was stated by the head of the Rostec State Corporation, Sergey Chemezov.
He explained that the liner would be very expensive due to the design features, in particular — the engines.
We know how to make it, we have everything for this. The question is whether it is advisable to create such a machine. It also has an extremely high operating cost. A supersonic aircraft, due to its design features, in particular the engines, is very expensive. It also has an extremely high operating cost.
Chemezov stated that in the current era, technologies are developing rapidly, and the world is changing. It is likely that the topic of passenger "supersonic" will return to the agenda, the head of the state corporation did not rule out.
The Zhukovsky National Research Center "Institute named after N. E. Zhukovsky" in April 2025 for the first time in the world conducted tests of intelligent technologies for a supersonic civil aircraft.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the completely Russian MS-21-310 has flown only 70 hours — certification is progressing in small steps.
