While MS-21s are being assembled, the Irkutsk Aviation Plant is fixing what slows down production
Workers increased the service life of grinding tools, simplified engraving control, and found a way to restore instruments instead of replacing them
Irkutsk Aviation Plant recruits personnel to accelerate MS-21 production
IAZ has already hired 173 people and plans to bring the recruitment to 500 employees by the end of March 2027
Irkutsk Aviation Plant implements AI in production: first tasks already defined
Algorithms help automate individual operations in the development of technological documentation
Shortened MC-21-210 moves from drawings to production: first parts already being manufactured
Irkutsk Aviation Plant expects to fly the aircraft in August 2028
Not before mastering serial MS-21: Irkutsk will switch to large airliners

IAZ is already training on An-24s, and in November will test Russian paints on an imported MC-21
MS-21 assembly to be accelerated: Irkutsk expects to reach a pace of one liner every 40 days
In 2027, the plant is to reduce the production interval and then continue to decrease it
Pilot Switched from Fighter Jet to MC-21 - and the First Impression Was Unexpected
Irkutsk Aviation Plant test pilot compared his impressions of the new airliner with his experience flying combat aircraft
The first production MC-21-310 with PD-14 took off: the aircraft reached 6000 meters and 600 km/h
The new airliner spent 1 hour 23 minutes in the air
The first production MC-21 has completed the main stage of testing: only one step remains before its first flight
Several aircraft are being assembled simultaneously at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, and new enterprises have joined the production of components
Yak-130 Wing Production Accelerated: IAZ Found a Way to Shorten Assembly Cycle
Optimization of workshop 228 allowed to more than halve the travel route of products over 7 km long
