Russia is creating a new Soviet aircraft industry: even the USSR did not make four types of aircraft at once

The aviation industry will become independent of external pressure

Currently, Russia is effectively rebuilding the aviation industry, based on the principles of the Soviet school and independent of external pressure. This was stated by the head of the Union of Aircraft Manufacturers, Alexey Rogozin.

According to him, it is about creating a new industrial base, including the production of engines, units and final assemblies.

Today we are trying to understand how in this new reality we can do what no one has ever done before. To create, in fact, an industry that is completely independent of external influence. It may use some imported components a little, but it should not depend on them.
Alexey Rogozin, head of the Union of Aircraft Manufacturers

He recalled that today the country is simultaneously creating four types of new passenger aircraft - this was not the case even in the USSR.

 We are simultaneously creating four major types of passenger aircraft. Even in Soviet times, such a number of projects, which are at approximately the same stage, were not implemented simultaneously.
Alexey Rogozin, head of the Union of Aircraft Manufacturers

Rogozin stressed that Russia intends not only to restore lost competencies, but to form a new aircraft industry that can compete with world leaders.

It should be reminded that the aviation industry is currently developing the MC-21, SJ-100, Il-114-300 and Tu-214 airliners.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia will earn billions of dollars for the aviation industry by producing SJ-100 abroad.
