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 its 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.

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 National Research Center "Zhukovsky Institute" 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 fully Russian MS-21-310 has flown only 70 hours - certification is proceeding in small steps.
