The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) is working on a supersonic passenger jet that may incorporate some solutions already used in the revived strategic bomber Tu-160, the UAC press-service told TASS on Thursday.

"The UAC is currently working on a number of promising projects, including a supersonic passenger jet that may incorporate solutions and technologies already used in the Tu-160 bomber," the UAC said.

Earlier, President Vladimir Putin suggested building a civilian version of a supersonic plane on the basis of Tu-160. He voiced the idea after seeing a newly-built strategic bomber Tu-160 in flight.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
