In the next three years, 140 billion rubles will be allocated to research and development (R&D) in the aviation and shipbuilding industries. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The money will be directed to the industries as part of the implementation of the President's instructions for the national project "Industrial Support for Transport Mobility."
So, this national project is one of the most financially secured, with about 140 billion rubles allocated for the next three years. So Russia will also remain a leader here.
Chernyshenko added that Russia has created the center "Intelligent Unmanned Transport Aviation Systems," which is designed to bring science-intensive technologies for the use of drones to implementation as efficiently as possible.
Economist Dmitry Tortev stated that the key "brake" for the Russian aviation industry was not the lack of technology, but a complex certification system. Another problem the specialist pointed out was the shortage of trained personnel to produce several types of aircraft at once.
