«Our fuel is more effective than the new Airbus models. At the same time we improved the design (which is now more streamlined), inside the salon, cockpit and have introduced new systems, «said Dmitri Yepifánov, spokesman for the corporation Irkut.

This example of Russian engineering and invention represents a new type of aircraft manufactured in the country and will be drawn largely from composite materials that make it easier to maneuver and extremely quiet especially for those on board.

The program cost Irkut MS-21 is about 8 trillion, about the development of a prototype aircraft. According to the manufacturer, once each aircraft into production base will cost approximately $ 35 million for companies who wish to purchase.
