The import-substituted aircraft MC-21-310 may see the sky as early as 2026. However, many on the Web are wondering how good it will be from an economic point of view. Industry experts answered this question.
Asset analytics expert Alexey Savelyev said that the effectiveness of the MC-21-310 must be taken into account, taking into account the import independence of the entire component base.
The assessment of the effectiveness of the MC-21 should be carried out comprehensively, taking into account the total cost of the life cycle.
Macro analyst Konstantin Zorin added that the transition to a domestic production cycle is painful. However, it is necessary to maintain technological independence in the long term.
Technological sovereignty in civil aircraft construction requires colossal investments, but this is the only way to be independent from geopolitical risks.
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 called the shortage of trained personnel for the production of several types of aircraft at once.
