Four MC-21 jets pass key flight tests in a month
Original: мс-21
Russia's MC-21 airliner programme is gaining momentum, with four of the aircraft completing important flight certification checks within a single month, according to Russian media. The narrow-body jet, developed by Yakovlev/UAC, is central to Moscow's push to replace Western-built planes in the domestic fleet, and steady testing progress is being watched closely as the country pushes import substitution in aviation.
Why now: Fresh progress in the MC-21 certification programme is drawing attention as Russia works to field a domestic replacement for Western airliners.
