The airline "Aeroflot" has increased the order for MC-21-310 aircraft manufactured by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant to 200 aircraft. This was announced by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Savelyev.
According to him, the current situation in the global market has once again demonstrated the vulnerability of dependence on foreign components.
We must have our own aircraft completely, because otherwise we can simply be cut off from the market for spare parts and components.
Savelyev added that the domestic aviation industry deserves only respect for the quality and pace of import substitution.
MC-21 is a serious competitor to Boeing and Airbus, and it is also created using domestic components.
As a reminder, last week the second prototype MC-21-310 took to the skies in an import-substituted version, but without replacing five critical systems. Employees of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant worked around the clock to get the second test aircraft into the sky as quickly as possible. Yakovlev also noted that the machine tests will be completed on two aircraft.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the MC-21 crew did not risk landing in strong winds during testing
