Russia is ready to supply aviation components for the wide-body aircraft being designed in China, according to First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.
The politician noted that the aircraft does not yet exist, but as soon as it appears, deliveries will begin immediately. Russia, for its part, is ready for this, Manturov emphasized.
First and foremost, we are talking about the competencies that Russia has developed, including within the framework of the MC-21 project, the First Deputy Prime Minister clarified.
This is a composite wing, and also a heavy engine based on the ПД-35 gas generator, 26 tons of thrust, which is now the basis for the Ил-100, a military transport aircraft, and possibly a future version of the МС-21-500 and 600, which will also use the ПД-26. Such an option exists. This is up to our Chinese partners to decide.
Russia is also working on its own wide-body aircraft, but aviation expert Roman Gusarov expressed doubts about the imminent appearance of a real aircraft.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that ODK has found a way to reduce the weight of the ПД-8 aircraft engine for SJ-100 and Be-200 airliners.
