Forging a competitive domestic alternative will be difficult. <\/p>\n<p>The target of building 1,000 airliners by 2030 is \u201cbasically impossible\u201d, according to aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia, managing director of U.S.-based AeroDynamic Advisory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when they could get semiconductors and other vital components from the West, they were having a very hard time producing more than a handful of jets,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>By comparison with the new seven-year goal, Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union had only ever built a combined total of around 2,000 large commercial jetliners, he added.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to modern jets, Russia\u2019s only civilian planemaker, Rostec\u2019s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), is limited by a lack of models, manufacturing capacity and foreign components.<\/p>\n<p>Half of components and technologies used in the Russian aircraft industry in 2021 originated from foreign countries, according to a document titled: \u201cOn the Strategic Directions of Activity in the New Conditions for the Period up to 2030\u201d prepared by the government and seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Rostec will have to find parts \u2013 or make them. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur next goal is, in the shortest time, to complete import substitution of those imported parts which were delivered from abroad, for promising aviation projects \u2013 SSJ-New and MS-21,\u201d Rostec said.<\/p>\n<p>MADE IN RUSSIA<\/p>\n<p>Russia plans to produce 20 fully import-substituted regional jets known as Superjet-New annually from 2024 and 72 new medium-haul MS-21 from 2029, beginning with six in 2024, according to the Russian aviation industry\u2019s development plan to 2030, published by the government in June. <\/p>\n<p>Russia is testing its new MS-21 plane with a domestically made PD-14 engine instead of the American-made PW1400G, supplied by Pratt &#038; Whitney.<\/p>\n<p>The MS-21 has been Russia\u2019s attempt to break into the main part of the jet market dominated by Airbus and Boeing. <\/p>\n<p>But it is struggling to replace the foreign components of its Superjet, including the SaM-146 engine which was designed by a joint venture with French engine firm Safran and could no longer be produced because of sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>UAC continues to produce Superjets with SaM-146\u2019s from stock and is going to deliver about 20 more jets with this engine, Rostec said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will be the last ones where our partner solutions with Safran are used. Then we will install PD-8 engines on this type of aircraft,\u201d Rostec said. PD-8 engines are also made in Russia. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom this year, we don\u2019t rely on international cooperation  with Western countries,\u201d Rostec said. \u201cWe can say with confidence that the MS-21 with American-made engines will not be delivered to the Russian market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From 2022 to 2030 Russia plans to deliver 1,036 passenger planes. That includes 142 Superjet-New and 270 MS-21, as well as 70 turboprop Il-114, 70 medium-haul Tu-214, and 12 wide-body Il-96, designed locally, according to government documents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t expect sanctions to be eased and we are building our plans based on the existing tough scenario,\u201d Rostec said. <\/p>\n<p> (Additional reporting by Tim Hepher in Paris; Editing by Guy Faulconbridge, Matt Scuffham and Mark Potter)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/exclusive-russia-aiming-to-fly\/attachment\/file-photo-the-mc-21-310-medium-range-airliner-performs-a-test-flight\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8R0DI-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8R0DI-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/exclusive-russia-aiming-to-fly\/attachment\/file-photo-russian-president-vladimir-putin-meets-with-rostec-ceo\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8R0DJ-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8R0DJ-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Gleb Stolyarov MOSCOW (Reuters) \u2013 Russia\u2019s aviation industry will aim to go it alone without the West, using locally built parts to produce 1,000 airliners by 2030 and end<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889298,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1661436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/business\/exclusive-russia-aiming-to-fly\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=exclusive-russia-aiming-to-fly","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1661436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1661436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1661436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1661436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1661436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1661436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
