The main challenge for the MC-21-310 project was not the replacement of wing materials or engine refinement, but the need to maintain stable production and workload for the entire cooperation. Andrey Soynov, General Director of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, spoke about the difficulties of the work.
During his visit to IAZ, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the need to allocate about 200 billion rubles so that the MC-21 production line could continue to operate without interruptions.
Otherwise, we constantly have swings: sometimes a lot of work, sometimes little work. We want precisely this uniformity.
Yury Tretyakov, a technical leader in the aircraft industry, warned that after the start of serial production of the MC-21, airlines would not necessarily want to buy them. In his opinion, the cost of crew training would be a problem.
Alexander Yavkin, the chief designer of the Be-200 amphibious aircraft, noted that the Russian aircraft industry continues to live by the rules of 1994, although the whole world has long moved forward.
