The MC 210 / 310 like the IL96 range are still in the teething stage and more upgrades will happen. Unlike Boeing and Airbus these aircraft are designed to operate in harsh conditions so they are more robust than western aircraft. Moreover, as far as upgrades are concerned, how many parts of the original B 737 or B747 would fit in a new aircraft ( except maybe tyres ) 20 % or less? Give the Russians a chance to develop their own planes.

Indeed. They do build to operate in harsh conditions.

This is a comment from someone who do not know how planes are tested and certified. Boeing and Airbus do test their planes in very adverse conditions, from extreme heat to extreme cold.

@@yvesd_fr1810 Maybe I know more about planes than you think. Adverse conditions do not only mean cold or heat but the condition of runaways and other factors too. Every plane flying at 3000 feet experiences temperatures of -60 degrees Celsius but it is also true that they have problems taking off if it

@@yvesd_fr1810 sorry I pressed the wrong button. The last words should be : if it gets to hot. Does that answer your doubt?

As the first Flight test Jet engine mechanic for the MC-21-300 in Zhukovsky 2017 and Siberia. It is the Airframe that Boeing should have built. 😊 I have a Degree in Aviation maintenance Technologies from the National Aviation Academy in Clearwater FL 4.0 GPA Second in my class. While living homeless in my pickup truck. So I do not think that anyone wanted to be an Aircraft Mechanic more than I did. ❤ I had changed BOTH main engine oil pumps and the first 6 hour flight was the first test flight after my work. All the trolls would love to spam this except for the fact that I put up a video of the Dump hotel Russia put me in in Moscow . 😅 To my Russian friends that last sentence is American smart assed sarcasm 😂 The Moscow Hilton is as fine as a Hotel can be. 😊❤

I would fly on MC-21 rather than a Boeing 737MAX. The MC-21 has been tested a lot. The only problem, the MC-21 does not have winglets.

When it does come into service I would be prepared to go to Russian to experience what it is like. Winglets would be cool.

It's a flagship product so I don't expect the market to boom 💥 immediately. The sanctions caused Russia to do alot locally. So I believe that the plane needs to work on local Russian routes for awhile before it breaks into the international market even by friendly countries but recall that considering Russians landmass they'll definitely have a ton of flights to give the plane credibility.. if they can archive that.. then considering it's price..which is way cheaper than Boeing & Airbus. They could get a market in China & friendly countries expecially those limited by sanctions too

I quite agree. The country is big enough and they should just concentrate on the local market. If its a success others will show an interest.

Absolutely

Once the MC-21 in full service, Russia from then on should just prohibit any Boeing or Airbus from flying over Russian territory.

Don't think they will as doing so would prohibit even Belarus' Belavia, who use a B738.

I think it will take them 10 years to supply the Russian market alone

That's quite possible though it seems a bit too long.

The 8 off that have been built for flight test have Pratt & Whitney engines and British built wheels, brakes and braking system. This means the aircraft will need to be redesigned as it will not met the specification it current has for its type approval. So far the changes have left the aircraft over weight, under powered and it can't meet its flight ceiling.

Thanks for that. They have more than 8 test planes at the moment. The last information I saw last night from a Russian channel suggests that it will definitely not come into service this year, that full scale production has not started and they are behind on recruiting maintenance staff. The plane has still not received certification by the Russian authorities. At this rate we will be lucky to see this plane in service in 2025.

The number of planes would be exact number to those confiscated in Russian Federation to a bunch of Leasing western companies, and they were about 700 or 750 units consisting in many A 320-319-321 among a huge amount of B 737 NG 800-900 series as well. This MC 21 it`s the main competitor, a natural aircraft replacement equipment, but it depends on the efficiency on the assembly line, how fast they could produce in a day once they get the ultimate Worthiness Certifications documents. There are many Euro Asia and South Pacific-Oceania potential costumers, needing for a 2.500 to 3.000 nautical miles range, because this model promises to be 15 to 20 million dollars lower price tag sales list. Something to consider in today`s economy global situation.
