The prototypes of the MC-21 and SSJ-100 aircraft, which will take part in the MAKS-2023 international air show, have been painted in a new livery designed in accordance with the current corporate identity of the Rostec United Aircraft Corporation, presented in 2022. This is reported by AVIA.RU .

Paints of domestic production were used to apply the new liveries. After painting in Ulyanovsk, the planes arrived at the Gromov Flight Research Institute airfield in Zhukovsky for further preparation for the MAKS air show, at which they will be presented to the public for the first time.

"The new livery will be the same for all prototypes of UAC civil aircraft, but our flagships in the regional and medium–haul aviation segments - SSJ-100 and MC-21 - were the first to try it on. Aircraft wearing this livery form a single line: UAC – Civil aircraft. These are the machines that will form the basis of the fleet of Russian airlines in the coming years," said Andrei Boginsky, Deputy General Director of the UAC for Civil Aviation, General Director of Irkut Corporation.
