Aeroflot wants to become the first operator of a Russian supersonic civil aircraft

Aeroflot is ready to become the first operator of the Russian supersonic passenger airliner.

The general director of the domestic air carrier Aeroflot made a statement that the airline is ready to become the first operator of a supersonic passenger airliner, which is currently being designed by Russian aircraft designers. It is still unknown what exactly explains Aeroflot's intention to become the first Russian operator of a supersonic passenger aircraft, however, this will significantly increase the efficiency of flights between remote points of the planet, reducing travel time by 2-3 times.

 

 

Previously, the resource Avia.pro reported that the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Rogozin told that the future Russian supersonic aircraft will use the NK-32 engine, which is currently operated by the strategic supersonic Tu-160 missile bombers.

When exactly the project of the domestic supersonic passenger airliner will be implemented, it is very difficult to judge, however, experts believe that by 2025 the aircraft will be able to make its first test flight.
