Irkutsk Rolls Out Second MC-21-300 Flight Test Aircraft

Four Airplanes Will Eventually Take Part In The Test Program

A second MC-21-300 flight test aircraft  has been rolled out at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant in russia. According to the official website of the Irkut Corporation, it was delivered on March 25 from the final assembly workshop to the flight test facility of the plant.

"Final assembly of the second aircraft is an important step of the MC-21 program. Involvement of new vehicles in flight tests would solve the key project tasks: complete the certification procedure for MC-21 within the agreed time, deploy commercial output and supply first aircraft to the customer," Denis Manturov, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, was quoted by the web-portal of the Irkut Corporation as saying.

Four MC-21 flight test aircraft will be involved in the program. Assembly of the third and fourth vehicles is underway.

MC-21 medium-range aircraft is built by the Irkut Corporation in cooperation with the holding companies of the Rostec State Corporation. In particular, equipment for assembly and disassembly of batteries in the fuselage section of MC-21 is developed by the Technodinamika holding company, and UEC-Perm Engines (a member of the United Engine Corporation) supplies PD-14 engine units for flight tests of the aircraft. Besides, Ulyanovsk Instrument Manufacturing Design Bureau, a member of Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies, manufactures a half of all avionics for the new Russian aircraft.
