- topspin 4y agoYeah, that's the other two. Supersonic jet engines are a rarified field. There are Russian "companies"... good luck getting that certified for Western commercial aviation.
- daniel-cussen 4y agoDude when the sanctions end the sanctions will really really end.
- topspin 4y agoRussia couldn't get any of their civil aviation jets certified before the sanctions.
- nradov 4y agoRussia got the Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional airliner certified in Europe in 2012 (before the sanctions). https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/easa-certifies-sukhoi-superjet-100-rrj-95b https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/newsroom-and-events/press-rele...
- 0x457 4y agoSSJ 100 was certified to operate in Europe in 2012. How much of SSJ 100 is Russian is another question. Irkut MC-21 had its first flight in 2017 and was supposed to get certified somewhere around 2025, which is pretty normal period, I think? Obviously, not going to happen now.
- hangonhn 4y agoWhat about CFM or Safran?
- topspin 4y agoCFM hasn't ever developed a supersonic engine. Safran's one military turbofan is an 80's non-supercruise design. It would be a long way to go for either of these outfits to produce an entirely new supercruise turbofan.
