This was introduced on Sunday by Deputy Prime Minister Yuriy Borisov, opening a gathering on the implementation of the corporate’s manufacturing applications.
“Three MS-21 plane have already been constructed for flight assessments and one for static assessments on the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute “Professor Zhukovsky” and the fourth flight take a look at plane is within the remaining phases of meeting,” he acknowledged.
“Two extra experimental machines are being constructed, considered one of which is meant for flight assessments with the Russian PD-14 engine. Lively work is presently underway to arrange the serial manufacturing of the MS-21,” he mentioned, including that prospects ought to start receiving deliveries of serial MS-21 plane in 2021.
In response to Borisov, three MS-21 plane have already been constructed for flight assessments and one for static assessments on the Professor Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. “The fourth flight take a look at plane is within the remaining phases of meeting,” he famous.
The Deputy Prime Minister acknowledged that the portfolio of safe orders shaped by the Irkutsk Plane Plant is 175 machines.
He additionally recalled that the MS-21 program is way broader and extra complicated than the event and development of plane of the earlier era. “In the middle of its implementation, Russian enterprises have reached a brand new technological stage, a era of specialists able to working in a contemporary digital atmosphere is rising, a analysis and manufacturing base has been developed,” added Borisov.
European certification
The MS-21 might obtain a Rosaviatsia certificates in 2020, and its validation by the European Aviation Security Company (EASA) is deliberate for 2021, the deputy prime minister added.
“Reaching the Russian certificates for the MS-21-300 at Rosaviatsia is deliberate for 2020, and the validation of the Russian certificates at EASA is deliberate for 2021,” he mentioned.
He emphasised that certification and preparation for serial manufacturing of the plane are actually the principle job of the Irkutsk Plane Plant, the place the MS-21 is assembled. “The profitable implementation of this program will make sure the workload of the plant, which is particularly vital within the circumstances of a major discount in purchases of army plane by the state protection,” he added.
Earlier, the president of the United Plane Manufacturing Company, Yuriy Slyusar, expressed hope for an early certification of the MS-21 plane at EASA. A European certificates will give the corporate the proper to worldwide flights of MS-21 plane. Slusar additionally famous that the certification course of is on schedule.
Dangers of recent sanctions
