Speaking at a conference after meeting Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang, Rogozin said he had agreed to overcome dependence on third countries for the heavy helicopter engine development.
The Russian senior official underscored that the Russian-Chinese aircraft would not be a copy of the US-made Boeing or France’s Airbus.
"We must enter the market with a product that will drop the jaws of potential buyers. That is the goal that we must aspire to," Rogozin proclaimed.
Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) said last month that a blueprint for the Russian-Chinese long-haul passenger airplane would be approved by March 2016, with an intergovernmental agreement due this year.
The Russian Helicopters aircraft maker said in September it would strike a deal by the end of 2015 to build a brand new heavy-lift helicopter "from scratch," after they inked a framework cooperation agreement in May.
