The Experimental Plant of the Moscow Aviation Institute has completed the production and shipment of assembly parts for a prototype wing caisson for the Russian-Chinese wide-body aircraft CR929. The prototype wing caisson will undergo strength tests at TsAGI, the MAI press service said.
As the director of the plant MAI Sergey Epishev said, the parts have already been sent to Ulyanovsk to the customer – JSC AeroComposite, it took about two months to produce them.
“Now the customer has to test our products. After their completion, we will be able to proceed to the serial production of assembly parts for SFDMS,” noted Sergey Epishev. He added that the work was carried out on the equipment, which was purchased for the development of production facilities within the Priority 2030 program.
“MAI carries out scientific and educational activities at all stages of the life cycle of high-tech products, developing, among other things, production competences. The modernization of MAI’s EOP will ensure the implementation of the full production cycle of parts manufacturing,” MAI explained.
Earlier, during a meeting with journalists at the Press Day, TsAGI Director General Kirill Sypalo said that in August this year the CR929 wing caisson prototype will be delivered to the stand for endurance tests.
He noted that the stand at TsAGI will also perform strength tests of the first prototype wing caisson prototype. “We will try to break the caisson to determine its strength limit. But, according to preliminary calculations, we will hardly manage to do it, the wing turns out very strong,” he added.
