MC-21

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.

The MC-21 offers passengers a unique level of comfort while reducing flight fatigue due to the following features:

• Increased personal space for passengers, including seats near the window.
• Its interior design accommodates all current anthropometric trends towards an increase in passenger height and volume and makes flying comfortable for people with different body types. Its wide aisles facilitate passenger servicing as the walking space is not blocked by service trolleys, providing sufficient space for two passengers to pass freely at once and enabling higher quality service for disabled and physically-challenged customers.
  
• Large overhead baggage racks provide space for additional carry-on baggage.
  
• The level of natural lighting in the cabin is increased due to its large windows and specific interior design.      

The cabin environment has been improved by:      

• reduced cabin noise level;
  
• increased cabin pressure;
  
• installation of an air-humidification system;
  
• use of the latest biological filters;
  
• three-zone climate control system.
