Russian MC-21 Airliner Proves 3,800 km Range in Flight Tests
The aircraft has completed long-range certification tests with a simulated full load of 175 passengers.
Key performance was verified
Engineers confirmed compliance with fuel reserve requirements under real-world flight profiles
The aircraft also successfully demonstrated safe take-off in the event of a single engine failure
The test results mark another milestone in the Russian push for aviation self-sufficiency— a key step toward replacing Western fleets with home-grown aircraft.
