Aeroflot Airlines and Rosatom State Corporation agreed on cooperation at the Eastern Economic Forum back in September.
Together they will produce Russian analogues of consumables and components (from filters to sensors and lighting equipment) for foreign aircraft used by Aeroflot.
“We will be engaged in the development, certification, and production of aviation components for all types of [foreign] aircraft – for cabins, cabins, aircraft trunks, structural repairs, and so on. The following areas are planned: air and water filter elements; plastic, metal, composite, honeycomb, rubber products; composite products; electronic equipment of the passenger cabin (inverters, power supplies, sensors, heating and lighting components, lighting and display equipment),” said Deputy General Director and Technical Director of Aeroflot Alexey Mikhalik.
Aeroflot and Rosatom will make components for foreign aircraft
Scientific research, testing, and production of products are already underway, but full production with component validity certificates will begin in the first half of 2024.
In the summer, the production of Russian analogs of air filters for air supply and recirculation systems in aircraft cabins began, which were certified.
“Currently, together with the Federal Air Transport Agency, the procedure for completing the required documentation for their use on aircraft is being clarified,” he added.
Previously, the S7 aviation group began collaborating with Rosatom to produce consumables and parts for Western aircraft. Together they develop water and air filters and brake discs.
