Russia: How Many Planes Will Be Undelivered Due To Sanctions?

[@luizrodrigues150]

Situation of engine supplies should have been presented. Some Russian plane manufacturers rely on foreign supplies of engines and this will be a big blow

[@flightmaster999]

The MC-21 shown in the video has Pratt & Whitney engines which are now part of sanctions against Russia. Also, russian engines are not up to par with western ones. This has been a problem for decades in Russia. Just look at all the smoke that come out of the engines of their relatively modern fighter aircraft and compare it with western jets.

[@vavord5181]

If you were a bit more interested, you could've read about MC-21-310 powered by russian ПД-14 engine, developed by "united engine manufacturer", or ОДК, how do they call it in russian. And this is some of those projects, which were built up almost entirely from the blank. And even if ПД-14 is not a competitorfor most recent RR, GE, or PW models, it is still a big success for russian engineers. Most probably, they will keep updating it making it better. Of course, if they'll handle producing such machinery during sanctions. The time will show us, how will MC-21 meet the future - as a workhorse, or a museum exhibit.

[@flightmaster999]

@@vavord5181 I did know about the PD-14 engine that can also be installed on the MC-21 and the fact that the MC-21 is only certified with the P&W engines, hence my comment about russian engines not being up to par with western ones.

[@VisibilityFoggy]

@@flightmaster999 Do PD-14s even "exist" yet? My understanding was that they are still in development. Which brings up another bump: aircraft engines require TONS of precious metals, raw materials, parts, etc. that need to be drawn from the global supply chain. I don't see how Russia even makes engines at this point.

[@vavord5181]

@@flightmaster999 ok, a good thing - you know about ПД-14. But do you remember that MC-21 with russian engines was produced later than MC+PW? MC+PW was already performing test flights when MC+ПД was built. So, that's not the question about the engines themselves, that's the question about produstion of prototypes. If ПД-14 wasn't comparable to PW engines, I'm sure, nobody would consider installing it on a plane. Remember, MC+PW - first flight in 2017. While MC+ПД - first flight in 2020. Guess, which one will get certified first? 🤔

MC-21 has been "certified" recently with Pratt & Whitney PW1000G and these are imported. The second engine PD-14 has western parts in it and will suffer from sanctions too. SSJ 100 is full of western avionics. These factors would further delay or made impossible new planes to be built.

The issue, however, is that some of those parts are made out of materials that are supplied by the west. Specifically, the composites. Russia began weaning themselves off these materials several years ago when the previous round of sanctions were kicking in, so they may be farther along with its development by now, but I don't see how you manufacture a state-of-the-art high bypass turbofan engine in 2022 without using ANYTHING from Europe or the Americas.

I read about a maintenance records issue raised in relation to planes leased from an Irish company. If Russian operators are unable to keep internationally recognized maintenance records, their value to the Western leasing company will plummet. It is unclear if the Russian government will allow leased planes to be returned to the West, but if they are not, the lack of properly-documented maintenance history for these planes may make it difficult or expensive for Russian operators to return to the previous level of relationship with aviation suppliers in the West.

[@billfairless6256]

I think the return of Russian leased aircraft without maintenance records would be a problem for the leasing companies not Russia.

Commercial aircraft like this without a traceable maintenance history are functionally worthless to any other operators, and you would be hard pressed to find an insurance broker willing to insure a worthless plane with no traceable service history.

The Russian airline industry is basically screwed for the next several years. Homegrown manufacturing capacity is small and relies on foreign engines and avionics.

If Putin stops his dumb war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 we can consider it. It in the meantime Russia is cut off of all that is good

[@morrisdyer9560]

I don't believe that it will be all doom for Russia. They will do fine. And another thing, it's about time that they get off their behind stop being lazy and make their own long haul aircrafts. This is what happened when you depends on others for things. Too bad though, we will be hit hard since all of Russian wheat 🌾🌾🌾 will be going to China. As a truck driver with graduate studies in international business and technology I read the food market very well. It's not looking very good for prices and fuel cost. There will be a lot of thin people in Hegiman.

Hopefully the sanctions will never be lifted, that way the rest of the world will never get a single penny of Russias money. They are more than capable are looking after themselves without ANY help, although they do have plenty of help on offer anyway.

I’m russian and I’m very tired because everybody hate us. We are not belong to war- only government. Russian people is very nice

[@TesterAnimal1]

It's OK. We know that. I don't hate you, and I don't know anybody in my real life who does. I work online as a software developer and I work with Russian colleagues. They are great guys and I respect their work. It's the government. But in a deeper way, Russian culture seems to make people feel they need am authoritarian government. These never work well to the advantage of people in the long term. They end up staying in power too long and serving only themselves.

@@TesterAnimal1 thanks, but most of the Americans and more think that all russians is responsible to the war and hate us
