Russia’s United Aviation Corporation and Mubadala, the investment fund of the United Arab Emirates, will create a joint venture for developing and manufacturing a supersonic business-passenger jet, Russia’s Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov said.
The conceptual design of the new aircraft could be revealed as soon as at the end of the current year, according to Manturov, who stressed that the issue of equity participation hasn’t so far been discussed.
The jet is expected to come in two versions, one with a passenger seat configuration of up to eight and the other of up to 30.
