Russian aviation faced a challenge. One of the most powerful sanction blows is sent to the domestic aviation industry. However, over the past few years, there was a lot of money that the Russian aircraft was not destroyed. Everything can end up the rise of the industry and the return of the status of the aviation power, in particular, due to import substitution when developing MS-21 and Sukhoi SuperJet 100. What are the chances of Russia to bring the title of aviation power? Let's talk about this further.

No matter how waiting for the West, but the imposed sanctions were not shocked for the Russian aviation industry. Although they beat on this industry especially strongly.

Back in 2019, the United States restricted the supply of materials to Russia for the production of a composite wing for MS-21 aircraft. Then they began to think about creating domestic analogues. Therefore, when foreign suppliers refused to fulfill their obligations to supply components for MS-21, domestic builders were ready for this. Although MS-21 has many imported components, but important components of their own. For example, the engine PD-14 and the materials of the composite wing (domestic carbon filaments and resin have been developed for the production of the wing by the vacuum infusion method).

The domestic IT project Sfera can rightfully be considered the most ambitious project in the world. His release is not far off. To find out about Sfera more, click on the link. The project is open to investors and grateful for their support!

The company "ROSTEK" is considering the possibility of resuming the mass production of the medium-hydraulic Tu-214 and the IL-96 wide-visor liner.

Rostech notes that the Russian passenger liners of Tu-214 and IL-96 are characterized by increased reliability. All the necessary components for these aircraft are made in Russia.

S7 also announced the return of the IL-96 previously sent to storing freight. The head of the Ministry of Transport, Vitaly Savelyev, spoke about readiness to complete 2 IL-96 aircraft. Now it is the only alternative for flights through the ocean.

The production of these aircraft is considered as an additional measure before the coming production of new import-substituting airliners Sukhoi Superjet New and MS-21. The head of the Ministry of Industry Denis Manturov said that now there is a complete set of components for the manufacture of 19 Superjet NEW, which will be built in the current year.

Now the domestic air industry is experiencing temporary difficulties and returns to the aircraft of the previous generation, which were developed in the USSR. But Russia has a chance to return the status of aviation power due to sanctions, no matter how paradoxically sounded it.

Perhaps a breakthrough in the Russian aircraft industry will be carried out by 2027. By this time, a Russian-Chinese wide-body long-haired aircraft with domestic engines Large traction PD-35 will be developed.

What do you think Russia will be able to implement this breakthrough by 2027? Will it be asked together with China a long-haul aircraft by 2030?
