During the certification tests of the MC-21-310 aircraft, aircraft manufacturers will conduct at least 220-230 test flights, Rostec reported.
The state corporation noted that this number of flights is necessary to be 100% confident in the safety of passengers.
This is an important stage of the import substitution program. To obtain a type certificate for a fully domestic MC-21, it is planned to perform approximately 220-230 test flights.
The state corporation noted that the MC-21 prototype, made in a partially import-substituted form, has currently completed only 19 flights as part of certification tests.
The head of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, stated that he is ready to personally fly on the first flight of the fully domestic MC-21-310 aircraft.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the production of systems for Il-114-300 and MC-21-310 has been expanded in Nizhny Novgorod.
