The aircraft industry is one of the key sectors of the domestic economy. This is evidenced by the discussion of issues of its development at a targeted meeting with the President of Russia on May 13, 2020. A member of the board of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation (Military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation), chairman of the Council for aircraft construction of the board of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation Andrey Elchaninov далее

The President held a working meeting with General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation Yury Slyusar. далее

Despite the epidemiological situation, the United Aircraft Corporation continues to work on new civilian aircraft. Test flights of the future flagship of the Russian aviation MC-21-300 continue, the assembly of the long-range glider IL-96-400M is completed, and soon the docking of key units of the regional IL-114-300 will begin. далее

The Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov made a worktrip to the Perm Territory, in the framework of which, in particular, he visited the Perm Motors production site. The UEC-Perm Motors enterprise has organised serial production of PD-14 aircraft engines and plans to produce the promising PD-35 large thrust engine (being developed by UEC-Aviadvigatel JSC), as well as high-pressure turbines and the PD-8 engine combustion chamber. далее

While orders for domestic land-based gas turbine units of Perm production are multiplying, they are not growing so rapidly in aviation. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the delay in the program of the MC-21 airliner affects the refusal of European and Japanese firms to sell fibre for the manufacture of products from composite materials. It takes a couple of years to set up production of our own products of this kind. Secondly, the release of the military transport Il-76MD-90A and special-purpose aircraft based on it are behind schedule. And although there is full confidence that the difficulties in both MC-21 and IL-76 are temporary and will be resolved within a year or two, there is a de facto delay in the placement of firm orders to equip new aircraft with power plants. далее

At the end of 2018, the company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC) presented a new “Operational Situation Centre” to support the operators of the SSJ100 aircraft. In modern world practice, it is assumed that the support of the life cycle of an aircraft largely lies with the aircraft manufacturer. In the USSR, there was no “single window” for airlines where the airline could receive versatile support that would deal with various aspects of aircraft operation. Thus, the experience of creating a global after-sales service system in Russia is being implemented for the first time in the framework of the SSJ100 project. We are talking about the new centre and the newly created structure of support for the operators with the President of the GSS, Alexander Ivanovich Rubtsov. далее

Within the framework of the Transport Week in Moscow, the regional Aviation branch conference was held - a system element of the main infrastructure. One of the most interesting speeches was the report of the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Oleg Yevgenyevich Bocharov on what the domestic civil aviation industry of the country would offer, and what mechanisms to support the promotion of domestic aircraft will be used, excerpts from which we bring to your attention. далее

During the last air show in Bahrain, the SuperJet 100 aircraft was visited by King Hamad II, about that Alexander Rubtsov, President of the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft JSC, told in an interview with Russia 24 TV channel. In the same interview there was a phrase that later sold out in many media outlets about the low maintenance of the SSJ100 fleet in operation. But many did not pay attention to the words of the SCA head, which is connected not with the quality or reliability of the aircraft, but with the lag in the development of maintenance capacities and the formation of spare parts warehouses. Airplanes stand in line for a long time for scheduled maintenance or waiting for the necessary spare parts. The fact that the SCAC plans to undertake to solve this problem, Alexander Rubtsov told AVIA.RU in an interview with journalists. далее

United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) have presented full sized mock-up of CR929 (long-range wide-body aircraft) during the first day of China Airshow. далее

On July 20, 2018, the second experimental MC-21-300 aircraft, participating in the flight test program, flew from Irkutsk to the airfield of the Gromov Flight Research Institute "Ramenskoye" (Zhukovsky, Moscow region), where the Flight Testing and Refining Complex (LIIDK) is located. JSC «Yakovlev Experimental Design Bureau». далее

"This flight we can not do ourselves",- Prime Minister of Ukraine Yanukovych said during a visit to the Antonov state enterprise in 2004, when the ceremony of rolling out the first flight prototype of the regional passenger An-148 was held. Since then, the power in Kiev has changed, but the words spoken by Viktor Fedorovich have not lost their meaning and meaning. далее

On May 19, 10 years have passed since the first flight of the first prototype of the new Russian regional jet SuperJet 100 (SSJ 100). In honour of the anniversary of this event, the company-developer of the aircraft - Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company organised a press tour for journalists, spotters and representatives of the blogosphere in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where the assembly lines of aircraft assemblies and the final assembly of SSJ 100 aircraft were organised, and Also there is a technocomplex for work with accessories. About how the production of the aircraft was developing, we are talking with the Vice-President for the production of the company "SCA" Dmitry Vladimirovich Bloshinsky. далее

At the helicopter forum held in Moscow, one of the brightest and most innovative expositions was the stand of the Concern Radio Electronic Technologies (KRET). The Deputy General Director Givi Ivlianovich Dzhandzhgava and Advisor to First Deputy General Director Vladimir Gennadievich Mikheev told us about the recent works in the field of helicopter engineering. далее

10 years ago, on May 19th, 2008, the maiden flight of the Russian regional jet Superjet 100 (SSJ100) took place. This is a commercial aircraft of a new generation, created by the company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft JSC using the latest technologies in the world aircraft industry, which ensures a high level of operational efficiency. SSJ100 - the first Russian aircraft, the starting point of which was the requirements for the product, formed by the leading air carriers of the world. далее
