UAC-Comac wide-body aircraft to cost $13bn at latest estimate

UAC Chairman Yury Slyusar

UAC-Comac wide-body aircraft: The  wide-body aircraft  being jointly developed by Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation and China’s Comac is going to cost around $13bn, UAC chairman  Yury Slyusar said this week . The preliminary design of the aircraft  should be ready by July, he said;  but the costs have had to be recalculated due to the collapse in the value of the  rouble. UAC expects to sell between 600 and 800 of the new planes by 2032, or 10% of the global market. St Petersburg Times
