The first flight of the new import-substituted version of Russia’s MC-21 narrowbody airliner will take place by June 30, according to the CEO of Yakovlev.
The first operators of Russia’s new Yakovlev MC-21 airliner were always set to face teething problems given the immaturity of the narrowbody’s PD-14 turbofan.
Images of two Yakovlev Yak-130 advanced jet trainers being flight tested in Isfahan, Iran, and wearing Iranian Air Force colors were published online on Sept. 2.
