MS-21 Farnborough Airshow Cockpit Mock Up Picture

Seems the alternative engine proposed for MS-21 which is Pratt & Whitney’s PW1000G geared turbofan is much more sophisticated and fuel efficient than the Aviadvigatel PD-14 twin-shaft turbofan.

Much of the claim of MS-21 fuel efficiency is based on the use of American engine.

Capability wise how well does the PD-14 engine compare to their western counterpart ? Specially the PW1000G engines ?

MS 21 Cockpit

Pictures from Farnborough Airshow 2010

I see it has side controllers like an Airbus. What are the bits that identify it as being like a Boeing? The instrument screens?

All the avionics are from Rockwell Collins with only a few system components and software made by Russkaya Avionika and Aviapribor. Even the damn tires wont be Russian but Michelin’s. The plane is barely 50% Russian in terms of actual value added, but because its basically a Western airplane this thing should actually sell well.

Excellent cockpit, especially with MS-21 and also SSJ-100, Russian aircraft manufacturers opened a new page for the Russian civil aviation!

Jeez, its the love-child of an Airbus/Boeing amalgamation.

Thank you very much flateric 🙂 Its also the same cockpit with the export promotion video, thanks…
