MEDIUM RANGE AIRLINER
MC-21-310 – a new generation medium range airliner with capacity from 163 to 211 passengers.
The airliner is focused on the most popular segment of the passenger transportation market in the Russian Federation.
The aircraft is being created on the basis of the latest developments in the field of aircraft design. The cooperation under the MC-21 program includes leading manufacturers of aviation systems. Advanced aerodynamics, engines and systems of the latest generation ensure high flight performance and low operating costs.
The design of the aircraft holds a record for its class in the share of promising composite materials created exclusively at Russian enterprises – over 30%
The MC-21-310 aircraft sets a new standard of comfort for narrow-body aircraft, which meets the standards of long-haul aircraft, and the dimension of the cabin is chosen taking into account the tendency for increase in the anthropometric parameters of passengers.
The main advantages of the MC-21-310 aircraft design:
- high aerodynamic perfection due to the high-aspect ratio composite wing;
- the share of composites in the structure is more than 30%;
- a new generation PD-14 engine that provides reduced fuel consumption;
- reliable digital control system with quadruple redundancy;
- active linked control side sticks;
- the aircraft meets promising environmental requirements for noise and emissions;
- the largest width of the passenger compartment and the aisle between the seats in its class.
The main advantages for passengers:
- expanded personal space for each passenger;
- increased freedom of movement on the plane;
- increased volume of overhead bins;
- more comfortable cabin pressure for passengers, corresponding to the height of 1800 m;
- increased size of windows;
The main advantages for the airline:
- the aircraft can operate in all climatic zones without seasonal breaks with temperatures from - 55 °C to plus 55 °C and at airfields with an altitude of up to 4060 m above sea level;
- the cross–section of the aircraft is optimal for a wide range of carriers and types of airlines - from low-budget and charter to premium airlines;
- advanced features of interior configuration for individual customer requirements;
- the ability of each airline to choose the most appropriate ratio of "seat cushion width / aisle width";
- modular design of the onboard equipment, highly adaptable to the needs of airline;
- reduced boarding and disembarkation time;
- fast and high-quality aftersales support;
- expanded workspace for the crew;
- reduced fuel consumption, as well as noise and emissions;
The cooperation under the MС-21 program includes leading Russian manufacturers of aviation systems. The high quality of the aircraft is ensured by the introduction of digital technologies in the design and production of aircraft. As part of the MС-21 program, a technological upgrade of the Russian aviation industry was carried out.
