Russia's United Aircraft Corporation is for the first time highlighting its entire range of civil products at Paris Air Show. Led by the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft in the livery of the Mexican airline Interjet, the lineup represents all sectors of the civil aviation market, including the regional turboprop segment with the Ilyushin Il-114-300, the regional jet sector with the SSJ100, the mainline narrowbody market with the Irkut MC-21 and the widebody airliner segment with the LRWBA, now under joint development with China’s Comac.

UAC’s exhibit includes a flight simulator for the MC-21 family at its flight crew training pavilion. As of Friday, the first MC-21-300 prototype had flown three times from the Siberian city of Irkutsk, most recently staying airborne for 1.5 hours as pilots examined the configuration of high-lift devices for change from takeoff to landing. Equipped with a three-LED-panel visual system, the simulator features a control panel design identical to that in the MC-21’s actual cockpit and software for flight simulation and operation of on-board systems.

Separately, the UAC stand features a display of parts of the MiG Corporation’s training complex, such as the holographic visualization system of the Interactive Air Personnel Training System, which provides theoretical and practical training for the flight and technical personnel of MiG aircraft.
