The Russian aircraft MC-21 will be in demand on the civil aviation market. This opinion was expressed by the President of Boeing in Russia and the CIS Sergey Kravchenko in an interview with the Russia-24 TV channel, reported by TASS.

"As for the MC-21, I believe that this is an absolutely innovative aircraft," he said. "I wish it success in certification, I am sure that this aircraft will be in great demand."

According to him, the Russian aircraft is going to become a direct competitor to the latest Western models. Kravchenko added that MC-21 "took the very best" from the developments of the last decade. “This means that this will be the only aircraft from the beginning of the next decade that will have a lot of innovation,” he explained.

"MC-21 is the last confirmation that Russia has returned to the front row to this stage of the theater of civil aviation," added Kravchenko.

MC-21 is a medium-range civil aircraft developed by the Irkut corporation. The new model is now undergoing certification tests. MC-21 is designed to operate over a distance of about 6 thousand km and is being created as a replacement for the Tu-154 and Tu-204/214 airliners, as well as as an alternative to foreign-made aircraft: Airbus A320, Boeing 737 and others.

  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.
