The prototype of the Russian passenger airliner Superjet 100 with PD-8 engines reached a maximum flight altitude of 11,300 meters and a flight speed of 955 km/h. During the test flight, the pilots showed the instrument panel of the Sukhoi Superjet 100. The plane was in the air for 3 hours and 13 minutes. During the flight, the gas-dynamic stability of the engines was checked at altitudes of 3,000, 7,600, 9,000 and 11,300 meters. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 airliner can carry from 87 to 108 passengers over a range of 3,050 or 4,600 km. The approximate price of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is from 39 to 50 million dollars, depending on the configuration.

The Russian experimental medium-haul aircraft MS-21-310 with the PD-14 engine and import-substituted components made its first flight over Irkutsk. PD-14 is the first new-generation aircraft turbofan engine created in modern Russia. The operation of the PD-14 engine is shown in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The passenger aircraft MS-21 took off from the airfield of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. The flight lasted 1 hour 15 minutes, the airliner climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters and developed a speed of 580 km / h. Two modified experimental aircraft MS-21 are taking part in flight tests under the import substitution program. The MS-21 aircraft is a Russian medium-haul airliner developed by the Yakovlev Corporation to compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Russian analogues have not replaced all foreign systems of the aircraft. The airliner received a Russian onboard electronics complex, including switches, computers, navigation systems, an auxiliary power unit, pressure and air conditioning control devices, lighting devices, and aircraft system consoles. Russian components were also included in the power supply equipment, hydraulic systems, and chassis. The MS-21-310 aircraft can carry from 163 to 211 passengers at a speed of up to 870 km/h. The flight range is about 5,100 km, and can be increased. Serial production of the MS-21 is planned to begin in 2026.

Just one more decade and you will have 17 or so.
Only one a/c has a Russian carbon fibre wing and the exchange of the Collins FBW isn't even mentioned as it didn't happen bc Russia has no substitute also few other systems didn't get substituted.
That what was Russified added 5.75 t and insiders say it has now only a range of 2000km and a service ceiling of 7000m.
For comparison Airbus needed only 10 years from idea to serial production including a complete redesign in 2006 for the A350.
And built 651 in eleven years.
AI world delayed;
Apple Inc. is facing a significant legal challenge after shareholders initiated a class action lawsuit accusing the tech giant of overstating the progress of its artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives, particularly concerning its Siri voice assistant. The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Apple downplayed the time required to integrate advanced AI features into Siri, misleading investors about the technology’s readiness and its impact on iPhone sales and stock value.
Shareholders, led by Eric Tucker, claim that during the June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple portrayed its “Apple Intelligence” platform as a key driver for the upcoming iPhone 16, suggesting that enhanced Siri capabilities would be ready for launch. However, by March 2025, Apple confirmed delays to the more advanced Siri features, pushing their release to 2026—a timeline that, according to the lawsuit, was not properly disclosed to investors. At the 2025 WWDC, Apple provided no substantive updates on these features, further disappointing analysts and shareholders.

In world breakthrough, scientists see star survive encounter with a black hole
At the international forum "Drone Expo 2025", footage of the first Russian heavy fire drone KVV-1, developed by the concern "Radioelectronic Technologies", was published. The KVV-1 drone weighs 85 kg and is capable of carrying the same payload. The drone is connected to a fire engine through a hose and delivers water or a mixture to a height of up to 150 meters. The drone's operating time is up to 25 minutes from batteries or up to 72 hours when connected to a power source via a cable. Serial production of drones is planned to begin in 2026.
In Kazan, the fully import-substituted multipurpose Russian helicopter "Ansat" with Russian engines VK-650V took to the skies for the first time. The Ansat helicopter successfully completed its first flight, about 6 minutes, at a low altitude. The crew assessed the stability and controllability of the helicopter. The operability of the equipment and main systems was also checked. The VK-650V engine allows the Ansat helicopter to fly without refueling for a distance of up to 660 km, and with an additional fuel tank - up to 800 km. Technical information about the VK-650V
Testing of the Il-114-300 regional passenger jet continues in Russia. Test flights are currently taking place in the Altai Republic at the Gorno-Altaisk Airport. It has been announced that one of the Il-114-300 prototypes has completed a series of international flights with a stopover at Krayniy Airport in Baikonur.
Testing in Altai allows for the evaluation of the maximum number of modes across several certification programs. Currently, the aircraft is being tested for navigation modes, primarily those related to flights in mountainous terrain, as well as for international flights and its operational capabilities at non-base and transit airfields.

The previously reported Russian multirole aircraft LMS-901 "Baikal" completed its maiden flight with a Russian-made VK-800SM engine and propeller. The LMS-901 "Baikal" is designed to replace the aging An-2 aircraft. The AV-901 propeller is equipped with a digital control system synchronized with the engine, ensuring maximum efficiency and fuel effectiveness. The VK-800 engine, with a power output of up to 870 hp, outperforms foreign counterparts in weight and fuel economy. Previously, a Czech engine was planned for the aircraft. The aircraft is adapted to harsh climates, allowing it to be used in the Arctic and Siberia. The VK-800SM engine has potential for modernization and can also be used on the L-410 and An-2 aircraft. The aircraft's cruising speed is up to 300 km/h. Its maximum range can reach 3,000 km, and with a payload of 2 tons, 1,500 km. The plane can carry up to 9 people.
Rostec announced that the new M105 piston engine for light aircraft has been developed in Russia. The United Engine Corporation (UEC) was responsible for the development of the M105 engine. The M105 engine is designed for light commercial aircraft, helicopters, and possibly heavy drones. It can be used to drive electric generators, pusher or tractor propellers, and to transmit the generated thrust. The M105 engine has the following specifications: 115 horsepower, a displacement of 1,211 cm³, and a piston stroke of 61 mm. Among the advantages of the M105 engine are its performance characteristics. The full specified service life is 2,000 hours, the time between overhauls is 750 hours, and the service life is 10 years. The engine is quite compact and weighs 75 kg.
Kazan Helicopters delivered four Mi-38PS helicopters to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. The Mi-38PS search and rescue helicopter is designed for operations in the Arctic at temperatures down to -60°C. The Mi-38PS automatically checks all of its onboard systems, requiring the pilot to press only one button. The Mi-38PS significantly outperforms the Mi-8 in range, speed, and payload. With additional fuel tanks, it can fly up to 1,500 kilometers. The helicopter is equipped with a water discharge device and a suspended sprayer for extinguishing fires and eliminating oil spills. It also has a module with medical equipment and search and rescue equipment, including a radio beacon and a winch for evacuation. The Mi-38PS has a maximum takeoff weight of 16.5 tons and is capable of carrying up to 4.5 tons of cargo inside the cabin and 5 tons on an external sling, lifting up to 40 people, and reaching speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour. The helicopter has a crew of two.
