The plans of the United Aircraft Corporation (part of the Rostec Group) to build a shortened version of the MC-21 are doomed to failure in advance. This opinion was expressed by the former Vice President of UAC, Leonid Komm.
He recalled that Western aircraft manufacturers from Boeing and Airbus have already tried to put shortened aircraft on the wing, but all such projects have failed.
If they [UAC] want to make a shortened version, well, who knows what came to mind, then this is a disastrous option. The plane turns out to be like a flying barrel, and extremely suboptimal.
The head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, stated that UAC will provide a sketch of ashortened version of the MC-21 by the end of 2025. He clarified that the "short" version of the MC-21 will differ in a shorter fuselage.
The number of seats will also be reduced - from 175 in the MC-21-310 to approximately 153. Chemezov assured that such aircraft are in demand among airlines.
