MC-21, the Russian aviation wonder?

• Will MC-21's entry as the medium range commercial aircraft redefine Russia’s role in the sector?
• MC-21 and its challenges

But, the dissolution of the USSR impacted the development of new aircraft, this fell in relation to the West in modern Russia.

Thus, this led to an increasing dependence on aircraft and parts produced elsewhere for the domestic airlines. Hence, Russia incorporated the UAC …show more content…

This space is dominated by Airbus and Boeing with a market share of approx. 97%. A comparative analysis on the production levels (UAC vs. Airbus and Boeing) in the commercial aircraft segment showed that Airbus and Boeing produce on an average 2 units of A320s and 737s per day at present levels. This is expected to increase by 2020 as UAC aim to produce twenty MC-21 aircraft per annum by the stipulated year. Further, this is anticipated to rise to 70 aircraft by 2033, which translates to 6 aircraft per month on an average.

Hence, a 4.5% global market share will translate to roughly 632 (2025) and 1,538 aircraft (2035). But, it is yet to be seen that UAC will be in a position to attract the same level of demand through MC-21. The MC-21 is a superior aircraft by present standards. Meanwhile, the company is building the necessary infrastructure to provide maintenance services, customer support and spare parts to airlines throughout the world. Technically, the operational efficiency of an aircraft depends on several factors such as maintenance, ground staff, the region of operation, age of the aircraft, etc. Therefore, the actual efficiency of MC-21 will be measured once it becomes operational and then a range of parameters will be established to compare the aircraft with
