To develop the ground airport infrastructure of remote and northern territories on the basis of 66 local airports and 15 landing sites , 7 federal state enterprises were created . According to figures, it should be about the number of about 800 local airports and landing sites. However, it is obvious that so many will not be invested and the issue will again be stretched to infinity.
By comparison for 2010, there were 15095 airports in the United States and accounted for 70% of the world's domestic air transportation.
January 31, 2018, AEX.RU - PJSC "IL" continues development work to create a domestic wide-body long-haul liner Il-96-400M. One of the variants of the proposed powerplant envisages the use of two perspective domestic engines PD-35. This is reported by OJSC "IL".
"It is expected that they will reduce the fuel consumption of the aircraft by 12-15 percent, and this will also reduce the cost of maintenance and repair of the power plant. The modification of the Il-96-400M with PD-35 will give the potential customer the option of choosing the airliner model with an optimal for him the layout, "- noted in the company.
IL-96-400M is created on the basis of a serial certified Il-96-300 aircraft in order to further improve this type of vehicles and expand their transport capabilities by extending the fuselage and installing more powerful engines. Depending

When will russia make a a turbofan with a higher thrust and bypass ratio than its PW equivalent along with having composite fan blades? That could be a far better marketing point and a lot more buyers will flock to the Russian engines because they've "proven" themselves to make a PW/GE competitor thats better in every possible way.
...One An-148 crashed during a training flight in Russia in March 2011, killing all six crew members on board. Investigators blamed pilot error....
...In 2010, another An-148 operated by a Russian carrier suffered a major failure of its control system, but its crew managed to land safely.
In September, one engine of a Saratov Airlines An-148 shut down minutes after takeoff, but it landed safely. And in October, another An-148 that belonged to a different Russian carrier suffered an engine fire on takeoff but also managed to land. Engine shutdowns have occurred on several other occasions....

True but new engines were never project end goal, priority was creating composite aircraft based off existing design which they nailed 100%
Fun part is what comes next: they are well into doing same with Yak-40, composite body and two engines instead of three like in original version
That one will be something, I posted differences between types several pages back and if they hit anywhere near those numbers, oh boy...

Went back a few pages, cant find it.
That would be awesome, fully composite Yak-40.
