According to the top manager, the MS-21 was initially created “using the most modern approaches”
First Deputy General Director of the Rostec State Corporation Vladimir Artyakov gave an interview to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, in which he touched upon the topic of domestic passenger airliners MS-21 and SJ-100. According to the top manager, the MC-21 was initially created “ using the most modern approaches ” – unlike the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737, which have been modernized for several decades.
“ The share of composites in its design is more than 30%, which is a record among classmates ,” said Vladimir Artyakov.
Deputy head of Rostec spoke about the MS-21 aircraft
“ The plane turned out to be beautiful, economical and, most importantly, comfortable. The MC-21 has the widest cabin in its class, large windows, and very spacious luggage racks ,” the top manager summed up.
The deputy head of Rostec also noted that the main thing for the airliner manufacturer is to meet the needs of the domestic market. “ The priority today, of course, is supplies in the interests of Russia – we must first of all give “wings” to our own country. But in the future, we, of course, count on interest from abroad in both the SJ-100 and MS-21. The capacity of the domestic market is not unlimited, and this must be taken into account ,” said Vladimir Artyakov.
Let us remind you that in accordance with the signed contracts, the first two SJ-100s should be delivered to Aeroflot by the end of this year, and Aeroflot should receive the first six MS-21s in 2024.
