“Only a few countries in the world are capable of creating aviation equipment at this level. The upcoming tests of the MS-21 with domestic engines are a landmark event for the industry, a clear confirmation that the domestic civil aircraft industry has a future,” said Anatoly Serdyukov, the industrial director of the Rostec aviation cluster.

Rostec's press service reported that the aircraft was transferred from the final assembly shop to the flight-test division of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant on 6 November.

The construction work is carried out by the Irkut Corporation of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC)

The MS-21-310 liner equipped with domestic PD-14 engines will be shown at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2021 which will take place at Zhukivsky airport between 20-25 July 2021.
