May 16, 2018 (newstodate): Ukraine is determined to rebound its aircraft manufacturing industry.
The government has now finalized a Strategy for Revival of the Ukrainian Aircraft Manufacturing Industry for the Period until 2022, as reported by the CFTS portal.
Ukraine has all competencies required for designing, developing and manufacturing both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, but the aircraft industry is currently in a stalemate due to its crucial dependence on Russian systems and components stemming from the joint Soviet era.
With the recent stand-off between the two countries, all cooperation has been frozen and Ukraine now needs to develop own technologies for international certification in order to restart development and production.
Ukraine's Antonov state aircraft manufacturing enterprise has 10 unfinished aircraft of the An-148 and An-158 models, which are in the final stages of production, in its warehouses.
These aircraft cannot be completed yet because of the termination of the cooperation with Russia, which provided up to 50 percent of the components.
