MC-21 MC-21 is a perspective commercial aircraft with a capacity of 150 to 211 passengers. Irkut Corporation (a UAC company) is creating the plane within a wide international cooperation •  First aircraft for flight and strength tests are in production at the plant in

the Irkutsk city •  An extensive program of aerodynamic, strength and endurance test confirm

design solutions •  An extensive upgrading program of Russian enterprises resulted with

radically new technological environment •  A system of technical and financial customers support is developed •  The total number of orders for MC-21-300 and MC-21-200 aircraft is

273–175 of them are firm

AIRCRAFT ASSEMBLY Irkut Corporation plant is manufacturing fuselage sections and carries out its assembly The logistics system ensures timely delivery of accessories and assembly units to Irkutsk and to companies — participants of the MC-21 programme Aircraft assembly is conducted by a new high-tech line, equipped with positioning and laser measurement systems Endurance, ruggedness and residual strength tests of the cylindrical section of the fuselage, its panels and the rear pressure bulkhead are conducted

POWER PLANT At the customer's demand MC-21 aircraft is equipped with two types of new generation power plants: PW1400G-JM Pratt & Whitney (USA) Both options provide reduction of fuel consumption, noise, emissions and life cycle cost

PD-14 United Engine Corporation (Russia)

PW1400G-JM ENGINE

The first MC-21 aircraft, to be built in 2015, will be equipped with PW1400G-JM engine (Pratt & Whitney) Engines belong to the PurePower PW1000G engine family and have the fan-drive gear system of high efficiency in their basis. PW1400G-JM engine analogs successfully passed the certification Certification application to the FAA for PW1400G-JM engine has been made
