🇷🇺 Putin got a tour of the plant building Russia's answer to Boeing. He was shown the first serially produced MC-21 passenger jets at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, along with an upgraded Yak-130M combat trainer. The MC-21 competes with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, delayed for years after Western sanctions cut off the composites and engines it was designed around. There are reportedly 18 jets on the floor, matching the size of the first leasing contract signed for the aircraft. A walk down the assembly line is the easiest part of proving a sanctioned aviation industry still works. Writer: Julie

AIRBUS A320 FIRST FLIGHT ANNIVERSARY On this day, 22 February 1987, the first Airbus A320 — MSN 001 (F-WWAI) — took to the skies from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport for its 3.5-hour maiden flight. Unveiled just days earlier on 14 February 1987 in Toulouse, the A320-100 prototype was powered by CFM56-5 engines and became the first commercial airliner with fully digital fly-by-wire controls and sidesticks — a revolutionary advance in cockpit design. It received its type certificate on 28 February 1988, and by April 1988 Air France and British Airways had begun regular operations. Fast forward 39 years, and the A320 family has officially surpassed the Boeing 737 as the most-produced commercial jet in history.

The third fully domestic prototype of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional airliner, developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), has successfully completed its maiden flight at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant. The test flight lasted approximately 40 minutes, reaching altitudes of up to 3,000 meters and speeds of up to 500 km/h. The aircraft demonstrated excellent controllability and stability throughout the flight. This prototype is equipped with Russian-made PD-8 engines developed by the United Engine Corporation (UEC), replacing the previous Franco-Russian SaM146 units. In addition to the new engines, the aircraft features domestically produced avionics, landing gear, auxiliary power unit, control systems, electrical systems, air conditioning, fire protection systems, and more. It also boasts a newly designed fuselage with structural modifications aimed at streamlining both production and maintenance.

🚨🇷🇺Ukraine's NATO show falls flat Ukraine's largest intended drone raid against Russia was meant to send a political message ahead of the NATO summit, but the operation failed to achieve its objectives, Russia's Defense Ministry said. 🔶 A total of 625 drones were launched overnight on July 6, with 613 destroyed by Russian air defenses 🔶 The intended targets were energy and logistics facilities in the Leningrad, Bryansk, Belgorod, Yaroslavl, Kaluga and Kursk regions, as well as Crimea 🔶 The strike was designed to convince Western sponsors that Ukraine could deliver deeper attacks inside Russia with continued financial and military backing 🔶 Russian forces disrupted the operation, while damaged civilian infrastructure is expected to be restored in the near future 🔶 The ministry warned that any expansion of EU drone and missile supplies to Ukraine would trigger a proportional increase in Russian retaliatory strikes

🇷🇺 ANOTHER AIRCRAFT FULLY PRODUCED IN RUSSIA: The Il-114-300 passenger aircraft is completing flight tests in Altai, the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported. The aircraft is made entirely of Russian components. As part of the tests, the Il-114-300 flew from Gorno-Altaysk to Baikonur and back. The aircraft is being developed for local airlines, with the potential for deployment in remote regions. It will be capable of operating autonomously from small airfields with short, unpaved runways. It is also planned for use in Arctic regions under low-temperature conditions. -> This is a third aircraft model that is fully produced with Russian parts. Western airplanes will never return to the Russian market and Russian allies, like BRICS will buy these too (even to avoid potential sanctions). Cutting off Boeing and airbus marketshare.

SOUTHWEST CEO SAYS BOEING 737 MAX 7 CERTIFICATION LIKELY AROUND AUGUST 2026 Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan expects the long-delayed Boeing 737 MAX 7 to be certified around August 2026, with the airline planning to launch operations in Q1 2027. Boeing is ramping up MAX production, but certification of the MAX 7 and MAX 10 remains delayed by an engine de-icing issue. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg also expects both models to be certified in 2026.

Russia’s United Engine Corporation says the domestically produced PD-8 engine has successfully passed icing tests during Superjet flights in Arkhangelsk. But certification is only part of the challenge. Scaling production will be critical, Russia would likely need to produce at least 100 of these planes annually just to begin replacing an ageing fleet still heavily reliant on Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

NEW UPDATE: The Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing to proceed with TIA Phase 4B certification testing for the 777X, unlocking the largest remaining portion of flight test work needed for type certification. According to Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope, the authorization enables expanded testing in avionics, stability and control, and human factors—key final areas before certification. Pope noted this is the last major TIA phase, though not yet complete, with the FAA still requiring extensive additional test points before type certification is issued. The 777-9 campaign, now years behind schedule, has been slowed by multiple technical issues and heightened FAA scrutiny following the 737 MAX crisis, with certification now targeted for next year at the earliest.

The Boeing 777 was the first Boeing commercial airliner to feature a full digital fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system. Powering this 777-300ER are the GE90 engines—the world's most powerful commercial jet engines. Each engine has a fan diameter so large that it is wider than the fuselage of a Boeing 737. After engine start, the hydraulic systems come to life, and the flight crew performs the flight control surfaces check. You can see the rudder, elevators, slats, and flaps moving before being configured for takeoff. Once both engines are running and supplying electrical and pneumatic power, the APU is shut down, causing the APU air intake door to close. B777-300ER (5Y-KZX) KQ100 Nairobi to London 8½ hrs.

We’ve also seen another United Airlines 777 lose a wheel during takeoff ago, and a United 737’s landing gear collapse while landing in Houston within the past three days alone. IS THIS A RESULT OF DEI HIRES?
