The exhibition-forum “Russia” started on November 4 Rostec takes part in the International Exhibition and Forum “Russia” at VDNKh. Participants and guests of the event can “assemble” their own aircraft, as well as become a pilot of the Mi-8 multi-purpose helicopter. For this purpose, an immersive panoramic cinema with a 360-degree view was built. Viewers can follow the entire chain of creation of new types of equipment, from the engineering center, where the idea itself is born, to the production of the final product. The film shows the latest developments of Rostec, such as the MS-21 medium-range passenger aircraft, the PD-14 engine, the BAS-200 cargo-delivery drone, the Ansat light multi-purpose helicopter, and the Jupiter-30 unmanned mining dump truck. You can also feel like the aircraft designers of the Il-114 and MS-21 airliners. The interactive game “Airplane Assembly” was created by specialists from the United Aircraft Corporation Rostec specifically for this forum. The game allows you to use the joystick to “assemble” the fuselage of the airliner: select the bow, middle and tail sections, as well as the aircraft wing and power plants. The screen displays a real workshop where promising IL-114 and MS-21 are assembled on stocks. The opportunity to “assemble” promising aircraft Il-114 and MS-21, as well as “become a pilot” of the Mi-8 [caption id="attachment_79635" align="aligncenter" width="780"] aircraft Il-114 and MS-21[/caption] Guests can also see at the stands of various regions models of domestic aircraft SJ-100, MS-21 and Il-96, the fifth generation fighter Su-57 and the transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A. At the stand of the Republic of Buryatia there is an improvised cockpit of the Mi-8/17 helicopter, which is produced by the Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant of the Russian Helicopters holding company. Here everyone can sit at the helm of this legendary car, and the screens inside show bird's-eye views of the taiga and Lake Baikal, which allows you to feel like a pilot. The international exhibition and forum “Russia” takes place from November 4, 2023 to April 12, 2024 at VDNKh

It took three years The first two ARJ21 regional jets in the cargo version have entered commercial service in China, as reported by TASS, citing the China Commercial Aviation Corporation, which developed the aircraft. The project to convert the ARJ21 passenger regional aircraft to the needs of cargo aviation was launched in 2020. The cargo version is designed to transport up to 10 tons of commercial cargo over a distance of more than 2.7 thousand km [caption id="attachment_77023" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ARJ21 aircraft[/caption] The first two ARJ21 aircraft in the cargo version entered service in China The aircraft will be used mainly on domestic routes, flying between the cities of Zhengzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. In the future, they will be used to deliver goods to South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries. The ARJ21 aircraft began to be designed 20 years ago, the first aircraft was assembled in 2007, and the first flight took place in 2008. But only in 2017 was a license received to begin its mass production. The passenger version of the aircraft can carry from 78 to 90 people over a distance of 2.2 thousand to 3.7 thousand km.

They will be integrated into production chains Small industrial enterprises of the Khabarovsk Territory will be integrated into production chains for the production of aircraft, as announced by the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the region, Maria Avilova. “This is the ambitious task that the government of the Khabarovsk Territory sets for itself. Involvement and localization of our enterprises that operate in the Khabarovsk Territory in general processes and the creation of a unified production and technological process. The scale here is enormous because even a Superjet 100 aircraft requires a huge number of cooperative connections, equipment with seats, and other elements. The possibilities are endless, including the business jet,” Avilova said. [caption id="attachment_65602" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Superjet 100[/caption] Superjet 100, Baikal, and a new business jet will help gather enterprises in the Khabarovsk Territory The aircraft manufacturing industry in the Khabarovsk Territory is represented by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ) and the production center of a branch of the Yakovlev Corporation (formerly the Irkut Corporation). They are part of the United Aircraft Corporation. KnAAZ produces modern military aircraft for the Russian Ministry of Defense, including Su-35 and Su-57 fighters. In addition, together with the production center of a branch of the Yakovlev Corporation, a civil aircraft manufacturing program is being developed to produce the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. Work on localizing production is planned to be launched for the production of the Baikal light aircraft, which they plan to assemble in Komsomolsk. The possibilities of involving regional technology companies in the production of door systems for aircraft are also being discussed.
