Status In development/preproduction

The Irkut MS-21 (Template:Lang-ru) is a proposed series of three twin-engine short-range and mid-range Russian jet airliners with a capacity of 150-212 passengers being developed and to be produced by Irkut and Yakovlev Design Bureau of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) group.[1]

Slated to replace the Tupolev Tu-154 and Tupolev Tu-204/214 in service,[2] the MS-21 certification is planned by 2016.[3]

Development and design

Mock-up of the flight deck.

The initial design is to include composite materials (about 33%), increasing to 40-45% provided a composite wing is added in 2015. In March 2008, a contract was signed which will see Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Sukhoi Corporation, designing and manufacturing the wings for the aircraft.[4] Engines supplied for the Russian domestic market will be the Aviadvigatel PD-14.[5][6] In December 2009, Pratt & Whitney announced that the Irkut Corporation had selected the PW1000G engine to power the MS-21.[7] On August 20, 2009, Hamilton Sundstrand, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, announced they had signed a $2.3 billion deal with Irkut to supply systems for the MS-21.[8] Irkut also selected Rockwell Collins and its Russian partner Avionika to supply the MS-21's avionics.[9] Goodrich, along with Aviapribor, secured the mandate to develop an integrated control system for the MS-21.[10]

The designer plans that the MS-21 will be 10-15% more efficient than Airbus and Boeing aircraft in the same class and it will have a 15% structural weight efficiency advantage, 20% lower operating costs, and 15% lower fuel consumption than the Airbus A320[4] with an initial target price of 35 Million US$.[11]

As of 2009, the MS-21 was in the pre-design phase, with projected completion of the first prototype in 2013, the first flight in 2014 and deliveries commencing in 2016.[2] By June 2011, the pre-design phase of development had been completed, giving way to the working design phase in which models and drawings are constructed, with an estimated completion date of this phase sometime in mid-2012.[12]

On June 7, 2010, the Irkut corporation signed a contract with Crecom Burj Resources of Malaysia to supply 50 MS-21 planes. The contract is estimated to be worth US$5 billion, and deliveries will start in 2016.[14][20]

In January 2011 it was reported that Ryanair is speaking with Russian and Chinese airplane producers, saying that these alternative manufactures could be a viable option for Ryanair.[21] Ryanair CFO and deputy CEO Howard Millar had publicly stated that Ryanair would be very interested in a 199-seater aircraft as it would be their maximum capacity without having to employ extra cabin staff. [22]

Variants

The baseline MS-21-200 is designed around 150 passengers in single-class configuration and will be followed by a 181-seat -300 and 212-seat -400 with basic and extended-range models, plus a very-long-range MS-21-200LR.

MS-21-100
Was planned as the smallest model with up to 132 passengers. It will no longer be built to remove competition with the stretched 110 to 130-seat Sukhoi Superjet 100.
MS-21-200
Baseline model with up to 162 passengers, similar to the Airbus A319, Comac C919 and the Boeing 737-700.
MS-21-300
Up to 198 passengers, similar to the Airbus A320, Comac C919 and the Boeing 737-800.
MS-21-400
Proposed stretched model with up to 230 passengers, similar to the Airbus A321, Boeing 737-900ER, Boeing 757-200 and Tupolev Tu-204-100/214.
