There are many statements in the aviation industry that the new MS-21-310 airliner surpasses competitors from Boeing and Airbus. However, there are no signs that it will fly even in 2027, said Oleg Smirnov, Honored Pilot of the USSR.
He suggested that in December 2027, the airliner would still take to the sky, but called such chances "a shot in the dark."
They praise it, it's the best in the world, it's better than Boeing and Airbus. And in fact, many technologies are shown there. Theoretically. This makes us, professionals, and you, passengers, very happy. The aircraft was theoretically wonderful.
"Pervyy Tekhnicheskiy" compared the MS-21 with its main competitors — Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 MAX. The domestic airliner outperforms them due to its structural potential and more modern wing architecture.
Dmitry Tortev, a member of the expert council of the State Duma Committee for Competition Protection, directly called certification the main brake on the development of the Russian aviation industry. In his opinion, the protracted cycle of "testing – modifications – new certification" only harms the industry.
