MC21, a modern Russian singleaisle twinjet airliner. The aircraft is set to be the answer to the Boeing 737 MAX and the Airbus A320 due to its aircraft performance characteristics and costeffectiveness. Its main advantages are advanced aerodynamics and the newest engines along with the extended application of composite materials.

MC21 is the first Russianmade narrowbody commercial passenger aircraft designed in the postSoviet era. The program was launched in 2007 and is headed by Irkut, a subsidiary of Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation. The flight prototype was rolled out in June 2016. MC21300 is a baseline variant that has maximum takeoff weight of 79,250 kg and can carry up to 211 passengers for a distance of up to 6,000 km.

Irkut says that MC21 aircraft is superior to existing counterparts in terms of flighttechnical characteristics and efficiency. Its major contributor to the enhancement of flighttechnical characteristics is the composite wing. The share of composites in MC21 design exceeds 30%. According to the designers, calculated reduction of direct operational costs for MC21 is 1215% lower than for counterparts.
