Kazan Aviation Plant (KAZ, part of PJSC "Tupolev") will deliver only one Tu-214 out of the three planned in 2025. Inkazan told about the problems the company faces and why they cannot be solved overnight.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade last mentioned the Tu-214 back in September, talking about the forum of targeted students. In July, it was reported that the import-substituted aircraft is undergoing certification again, when it will be completed is unknown. Against the background of the successes of the MS-21 program, logical questions arise about why the Tu-214 is not being built faster.
And several reasons can be named: shortage of personnel, lack of production capacity and the need to redesign the Tu-214.
Experts in the aviation industry stated that in order to reach serious serial volumes, the production of Tu-214 needs not just to be modernized, but actually redesigned. Only then will it be possible to talk about producing dozens of aircraft per year.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Rostec commission with Serdyukov and UAC raided the production of the PD-8 engine.
