Honored test pilot, Hero of Russia Alexander Garnaev, was outraged by the reduction in the flight range of the new medium-range aircraft MC-21-310. Due to the aircraft becoming 6 tons heavier, transportation capabilities have decreased from 5100 to 3830 km in a typical two-class configuration.
He recalled that in this case, it concerns 175 passengers on board, of which 16 are in business class and 159 are in economy. At the same time, the launch customer, airline "Russia", plans to receive the MC-21-310 in a single-class configuration for 211 passengers.
The range will be even less — in reality, taking into account the fuel reserve, the aircraft will be suitable for routes with a length of around 3000 kilometers. So, will this miracle be unable to even fly regular Moscow – Irkutsk routes?
Former Sukhoi designer Vadim Lukashevich explained that such characteristics of the MC-21-310 are due to the fact that the weight of domestic composites is higher than that of foreign ones.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the import-substituted MC-21 made only 23 out of 293 flights to complete certification.
