In China, close attention is paid to the Russian MS-21

Chinese media came out with materials, which talk about flight tests in Russia of the third unit MS-21-300 – the latest medium-haul airliner. Xinhua and other Chinese news services celebrate, that the Russian airliner has to overcome many problems, one of which was the problem of anti-Russian sanctions.

В Китае пристальное внимание обращают на российский МС-21

Aircraft industry experts in Chinese media note, that recently Russia has been deprived of the opportunity to obtain, within the framework of a previously concluded contract with companies from the United States and Japan, composite materials to create a particularly strong and relatively light wing.

At the same time attention is drawn to the, How do Chinese experts comment on these sanctions?. they note, that once again we are talking about unfair competition, used by the United States, including through pressure on independent business.

China's close attention to the Russian MS-21 aircraft is also manifested for the same reason, that China itself is creating its own narrow-body airliner C919. These aircraft are manufactured by Comac.. Notably, that C919 and MC-21 made their first flights at almost the same time. Chinese plane took to the skies for the first time 5 May 2017 of the year, and Russian - 28 May 2017 of the year.

What else do the Chinese and Russian airliners have in common?? for example, this is the decision of the management of a Chinese aircraft manufacturer to reduce to a minimum the percentage of composites used. earlier it was reported, that the series will go to C919, in which the percentage of use of composites does not exceed 10-12. And this percentage is primarily a wing.

The PRC explained this by the need to optimize costs when entering mass production of C919. At the same time, Comac does not hide, what is going to squeeze American Boeings and European Airbus from the world market.

Against this background, China became interested in the MS-21 from the point of view of the future use of Russian PD-14 engines on them.. Experts appreciated the aircraft power plants created in Russia and noted, that Russia has succeeded in technologies in this direction.

Recall, that earlier in the Russian aircraft industry they announced their intention to create their own composites for the MS-21-300 wing.

Because, that the Americans are having clear problems with their Boeing 737 MAX 8» (after two plane crashes for the same reason of interception of pilots' control by automatics), the Chinese C919 and the Russian MS-21-300 have an additional chance. And if you think about joining efforts within the same BRICS to reach new positions in competition with Western giants? There are prospects.
