[edit] Development and design
The initial design is to include composite materials (about 33%), increasing to 40-45% provided a composite wing is added in 2015. Engines will be Russian made.
The target price is $35,000,000 USD.[1]
As of yet, no airlines have announced orders for the MC-21.
The MS-21 is due to receive 'concept approval' late in 2008 with production due to start at Irkut's IAZ plant in 2015.[2]
