Russia Releases Production Footage of MC-21, Composite Wings, PD-14 and PD-8

Oct 23, 2026
Russia has released factory footage showcasing key parts of its domestic aviation industry, including the MC-21 production floor, composite wing manufacturing and facilities associated with the PD-14 and PD-8 engines. In this video, we look inside the manufacturing infrastructure behind Russia’s effort to build a domestic commercial aviation ecosystem. **Inside the video:** - MC-21 aircraft fuselage assembly and production-floor footage - Composite wing manufacturing and aerostructures - PD-14 turbofan engine production facilities - PD-8 engine manufacturing infrastructure - What these factories reveal about Russia’s aviation ambitions The MC-21 is central to Russia’s medium-range passenger aircraft programme. Its composite wing and PD-14 engine are important elements of the aircraft’s design. The PD-8, meanwhile, is being developed for the SJ-100 regional jet and other applications. Factory footage provides a valuable look at industrial facilities, but the larger test will be the ability to sustain production, deliver engines and complete aircraft for airline service. Watch the footage and follow the developments shaping Russian commercial aviation.
