China And Russia Building Airliner

Moscow claims it has informed China about commencement of work on developing a heavy aircraft engine with a thrust of 35 tons for a joint Sino-Russian long-range wide-body aircraft.

In early 2015, Russian media reports said Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd (COMAC) began preliminary design of the proposed joint 250-280-seat wide-body airliner.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told reporters on Monday China and Russia are moving toward joint development of a new jumbo jet that could potentially rival the Airbus and Boeing.

“We’ve informed the Chinese side about the beginning of work on Russia’s heavy-lift aircraft engine in the thrust segment of up to 35 tons. The decision was made by the Russian president in May, with all the necessary funds allocated”, Rogozin said after the meeting of the Russian-Chinese intergovernmental commission.

Once this is perfected, they will take over much of the world's commercial aircraft business.

Bye-bye, Boeing.
