At the Dubai Airshow 2021, I visited the Irkut MC-21. This is the MC-21’s International debut. Check out the airframe, cabin, cockpit and testing station. I interviewed an engineer onboard the MC-21, who revealed that the MC-21 will be entering service in 2022 with Rossiya Airlines. The modern MC-21 cabin resembles that of an Airbus 320 or a Boeing 737. Can the new MC-21 be a serious challenge to the narrow body market dominated by Airbus/Boeing?
