If, conditionally, the opportunity to purchase Boeing and Airbus liners reappears "tomorrow", then Russia needs to abandon them and develop its own aircraft construction. This opinion was given by first-class pilot Andrey Krasnoperov.
According to him, you should not be tempted by relatively cheap American aircraft, which may be economical, but only at first.
Yes, it is more profitable for companies to buy aircraft that have proven themselves than to buy our new ones that are still undergoing trials. But, I hope, the government will make a competent decision and will develop its own production.
The pilot added that Russia should not rely on Boeing, which has had problems with the latest modification of aircraft.
He recalled that three accidents have already occurred after the computer switched the liners to dive.
People died. They still haven't figured out the reason themselves. And in any case, we need to develop our own aircraft.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the production program of MS-21, SJ-100 and Tu-214 aircraft will be revised in Russia.
