«Немножко грустно»: российские власти оценили импортозамещение нового самолёта

Mishustin Calls for Complete Import Substitution in S7's Light Aircraft — Tango

The Tango light-engine training aircraft created by the S7 airline needs to be fully localized. This was stated by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

At the stand, the Chairman of the Government was presented with a four-seater light-engine training aircraft. Vladislav Filev, General Director of S7 Airspace Corporation, clarified that not all parts of the aircraft have been import-substituted at the moment.

The engine was developed by Russian engineers, but the wheels, chassis, radio station, and artificial horizon are foreign.

It's a little sad. Specialists, please, we need to look and quickly solve this problem. Because the localization of the aircraft is practically completed, and those elements that remain, of course, need to be replaced and properly certified.
Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister

The Tango fuselage is 90% made of composite materials. The aircraft can be used for training civil aviation pilots, and in the future, for sightseeing and tourist flights, aerial monitoring, and patrolling.

S7 Group plans to release three four-seater light-engine training Tango aircraft by the end of the year, noted Evgeny Bulkin, Head of Sales at Spectra Aircraft.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that "Yakovlev" is capable of producing up to 36 MS-21 aircraft per year in the future.
