Antonov ensures complete replacement of Russian knots for An-148/158, An-178 aircraft production
Antonov State Enterprise (Kyiv) has provided for the complete replaced of Russian knots in production of regional jets of next generation An-148/158 aircraft and new transport An-178 aircraft with a carrying capacity of 18 tonnes, the press service of the enterprise reported last week.
According to the report, earlier the share of knots imported from Russia in the An-148, An-158 and An-178 programs was up to 50-60%. Today Russian knots in these programs have been replaced by knots of other foreign manufacturers and Ukrainian-made knots.
"The share of Ukrainian-made spare parts grew from 25% to 38%," the press service said.
According to earlier announced plans, Antonov seeks to invest around UAH 600 million in the import replacement program in 2016-2019.
Antonov is Ukraine's leading developer and designer of aviation equipment. Since April 2015, the enterprise has been a part of the state-owned Ukroboronprom concern.
