The Le Bourget air show did not become a breakthrough for Russian manufacturers, but rather vice versa.

This writes "Newspaper. Py "according to the results of the international airshow" Le Bourget - 2017 ".

As noted, although 34 Russian organizations, representing 190 samples of equipment, took part in the exhibition, representatives of the Russian aviation industry could not conclude firm contracts.

The actual exhibits of aircraft engineering Russia to France did not carry, referring to possible problems with the local customs.

The only Russian aircraft at the exhibition was the short-haul passenger SSJ-100 - and then he arrived at the exhibition in the coloring of the Mexican Interjet.

As a result, the Mexican company remained the only one that showed a clear interest in the SSJ-100. "Sukhoi Civil Aircraft" (SCU) announced the option Interjet for 10 vehicles, as well as talked about the interest of the Slovenian airline Adria and Chinese air carriers. It's about 12 and 10 aircraft, respectively, however, it's not even options, but only negotiations.

Experts of the prospects for aviation cooperation between Russia and the PRC are extremely skeptical, hinting that China is more interested in developing its own projects. About the Chinese interest in the SSJ-100 have been spoken for many years, but further words do not go, recalls Roman Gusarov, editor-in-chief of the portal "Avia". RU".

"If others bring concrete signed contracts from the salons, then we often bring promises, and often the promises given to ourselves," - says the expert.

The remaining Russian exhibits, including the MC-21, participated in the review only in the form of mock-ups and advertising brochures.

The main struggle for superiority in terms of contracts was developed between the American concern Boeing and its European competitor Airbus Group.

At Le Bourget 2017, for the first time in five years, the leader in contracts in the civil aviation industry was Boeing, which received orders for 571 aircraft for a total of $ 75 billion.

Among other things, the American aircraft manufacturer received 361 orders from 16 airlines for a new narrow-bodied 737 Max 10, which will be put into operation only in 2020.

Airbus announced that it had concluded contracts for 114 aircraft, and also achieved preliminary orders for another 182 aircraft. His portfolio of orders for Le Bourget was $ 40 billion.

In total, the orders of both amounted to $ 115 billion, which is seriously inferior to the record of 2015 ($ 130 billion).

The company Boeing also presented at the cabin in Le Bourget its forecast of global demand for aircraft, improving it for the next 20 years - to more than 41 thousand. Units, and the market estimate - up to $ 6.1 trillion. Boeing also forecasts significant growth in the aerospace services market, the total volume of which in the next 10 years, taking into account the commercial and public sectors, will be $ 2.6 trillion.

Russian airlines will need at least 885 aircraft before 2036, and demand in the CIS market will be up to 1,230 vehicles, the president of Boeing in Russia and the CIS Sergey Kravchenko told reporters.

"UAC, as a national manufacturer, will have the right to" first night "with Russian airlines, but they will not cover all the demand," Kravchenko said.. "Our main goal is to win the fight for the remainder of this pie with Airbus".

President of UAC Yuri Slyusar was more optimistic. "Today's portfolio of orders for the aircraft MS-21 is 175 cars. This is enough to deploy mass production, "- quotes his RNS. Slyusar noted that at MS-21 there are already firm contracts with airlines of South-East Asia, North Africa, CIS countries.

"So far, the SSJ-100 has not proved its efficiency, and it will be possible to start talking about the competitiveness of the MS-21 not earlier than a year or even two or three years after the commercial launch of the new aircraft," said the leading expert of the Institute of Transport Economics and Transport Policy HSE University Andrey Kramarenko.

During the review, they recalled the many years of the project under discussion between the Russian-Chinese wide-body long-range aircraft. Interest in it Slyusar noted by the American General Electric, Honeywell and the French Thales.

However, there was no more specifics on the problem project.

Visitors to "Le Bourget" most of all remember the flying car of the Slovak company AeroMobi.

As L'OBS writes, an externally flying car looks like a sports car: it has four wheels, two seats, a steering wheel and two wings and an aircraft engine.

The declared cost of the airmobile - from $ 1.2 million. Manufacturers already accept orders, but warn that customers will not be able to get their airmobile before 2020.
