Medvedev: Russian, U.S. aircraft manufacturers could work together

Nov 25, 2009 at 11:44 | Interfax-Ukraine
Russian and U.S. aircraft manufacturers could work together Dmitry Medvedev told workers of the Aviastar-SP joint venture set up on the basis of the Ulyanovsk Aviation Complex.

"Advanced models must be developed," he said when the facility's plans were discussed.

As an example he named the plant's well-known product - the Antonov An-124 Ruslan cargo aircraft. "The market is enormous, so are the transportation volumes. Such planes are actually not made elsewhere in the world," he said noting that only the U.S. C-5 can be compared to Ruslan.

"Someone will occupy the niche. And it would be better if we did that," Medvedev said. "Or we could do it together with the Americans," he added.
