The Russian aviation industry has faced the task of import substitution.

📄 Mikhail Mishustin met with the General Director of United Aircraft Corporation, Vadim Badekha. The head of UAC informed the Prime Minister about the company's work and production plans.
The most relevant aspect of Russian aircraft production today is the testing of civil aircraft entirely produced in Russia:

- The Superjet, in its "Import Substitution" version, has begun the flight phase of certification tests.

- The first prototype of the MS-21 aircraft with a domestic engine has been fully assembled. UAC is testing ground systems and preparing for test flights.

- The Il-114-300 aircraft has completed over 20% of certification flights.

- The Tu-214 aircraft is already in production, with the main task being to multiply the production volume of this airliner.

Vadim Badekha emphasized that Russia is the only country in the world that independently develops and produces 100% of the materials, components, technologies, and units necessary for aircraft construction.

“When producing aircraft, it is necessary to focus first and foremost on flight safety, the safety of people, and the reliability of this equipment. On quality, so that those planes, those machines produced today, at the highest level, can be in demand not only in Russia" - emphasized Mikhail Mishustin.

The company president thanked the Government for its systematic support of the aviation industry. Thanks to this support, the sector is experiencing an investment boom for the first time in decades, Badekha stated. Nowadays, large-scale investment projects are being implemented in all enterprises of the sector.
