Russia is aiming to reach new frontiers in both military and commercial aviation. Earlier this year, it unveiled its highly-anticipated next-generation fighter jet, the infamous Checkmate, and is now ending the year with a milestone for its future airliner boasting a domestically-made engine and composite wings.

Russia’s focus on self-sufficiency is widely known, and this ambition extends to commercial aircraft manufacturing. The country’s first medium-haul airliner with composite wings, and one of the first of its kind in the world, has just performed its first flight, with great success.
