Yuri Trutnev visited industrial enterprises of Komsomolsk-on-Amur
As part of his working visit to Khabarovsk Krai, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev visited the enterprises of PJSC UAC in Komsomolsk-on-Amur – the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri Gagarin (KnAAZ) and the production center of PJSC Yakovlev, where the Superjet-100 is assembled, and also visited the investment site for the production of the Baikal aircraft and got acquainted with the work of the Amur Shipbuilding Plant of USC. The Deputy Prime Minister was accompanied on his trip by the Governor of Khabarovsk Krai Dmitry Demeshin.
At KnAAZ, Yuri Trutnev inspected a new titanium alloy processing shop, an assembly line, including a final assembly shop for Su-35S and Su-57 aircraft, and the construction of new flight test station facilities. The implementation of the project to build facilities and new industrial capacities at KnAAZ are necessary to increase the serial production of fifth-generation aircraft. The Deputy Prime Minister was shown areas where work is being carried out within the framework of cooperation: on the import-substituting Superjet-100 and MS-21.
In the technocomplex of the production center of PAO Yakovlev, Yuri Trutnev was shown the first line in Russia for the production of doors for the import-substituted version of the Superjet – previously, these units were manufactured abroad. Doors manufactured on the new line meet the most modern aviation safety standards. A specialization center for the production of doors for other Russian civil aircraft is being created on the basis of the technocomplex.
In the final assembly shop, the director of the production center Andrey Soynov spoke about the current work and prospects of the enterprise. The center, which employs more than 1 thousand people, is preparing for the serial production of fully import-substituted Superjet-100 aircraft. The production modernization program provides for the expansion of the final assembly shop to organize a straight-through conveyor and the construction of a new hangar for the flight test station. The production capacity of the updated enterprise will be at least 20 Superjet-100 aircraft per year.
“The supply of domestic aircraft for air transportation in the Far East is our priority task. We, like no one else, understand the need to connect the cities of our region. The Yakovlev company has already concluded an agreement on the supply of Superjets to the Aurora airline, and we will make every effort to fulfill this order,” Andrey Soynov emphasized.
As part of his trip to Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Yuri Trutnev visited an investment site being created for a comprehensive center for the development of regional and unmanned aviation production and the production of the Baikal light multipurpose aircraft. The construction of a production building for the assembly of the Baikal aircraft with the necessary engineering infrastructure is being carried out on the advanced development area in close proximity to the Dzyomgi airfield and the facilities of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). Work on the site is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025. Construction of facilities for the production of the Baikal light aircraft began in January 2024. The project is being implemented on the instructions of President of the country Vladimir Putin and as part of the long-term development plan for Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the activities of which are included in the city’s master plan. Currently, the zero cycle work on the formation of the land plot is being completed, and the pouring of foundations continues. The total area of buildings and structures will be almost 10.4 thousand square meters. m. The complex will produce up to 20 aircraft per year. 80 jobs will be created.
The developer of the Baikal aircraft is the Ural Works of Civil Aviation (UZGA). The aircraft will be manufactured by UZGA subsidiary Spetsaviatekhnika LLC, a resident of the Khabarovsk priority development area. It is planned that Baikal will be equipped with a domestic VK-800 engine. This aircraft is being created to improve the transport accessibility of remote regions of Russia and to develop local air routes. The key parameters of the aircraft were determined in accordance with the requirements of regional airlines: 2 tons of payload, flight range of 1.5 thousand km, cruising speed of 300 km/h.
Yuri Trutnev also got acquainted with the work of the Amur Shipyard of USC, one of the largest shipbuilding enterprises in the Far East. During the inspection, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the slipway shop. The management of the enterprise reported on the orders under construction and prospective orders. The Deputy Prime Minister got acquainted with the progress of construction of the new dock-pontoon “Amurets” of project 65911, which is being built for the plant’s own needs as part of the USC dock program.
The dock-pontoon was laid down in June 2023. Its main purpose is to ensure the removal of factory orders from the workshop and their transfer to the outfitting pier. The company has completed a large amount of work on the construction. On the dock-pontoon, the hull of which is currently being assembled on an open slipway, the assembly joints of the first three blocks have been thoroughly welded and presented to the register, and all assembly work on the fourth has been completed. In March, when the average daily temperature rises to normal, welding work on the dock-pontoon will resume, and the docking of the order hull will continue.
The plant’s production program includes the construction of a floating transport dock for the transfer of plant orders to the outfitting base in Vladivostok and the reconstruction of the dockside unit of the plant’s outfitting complex. This will allow the enterprise to build a promising line of ships and vessels of greater width and tonnage than is currently possible, and to transport orders to the delivery base in Primorye using its own resources.
Yuri Trutnev discussed with the General Director of the Amur Shipyard of USC Mikhail Borovsky the issues of the enterprise’s workload in terms of placing orders on the Amur Shipyard’s slipways for the development and maintenance of the oil and gas shelf – supply vessels and ice-class rescue vessels. The plant already has experience in building such orders: in 2018 and 2020, the plant built and handed over to the customer (OOO Gazprom Flot) two supply vessels for work with semi-submersible floating units. The built vessels belong to the highest class of automation and are capable of performing a wide range of tasks – from transporting goods and people to eliminating the consequences of natural disasters and extinguishing fires.
At the commissioning base of the Amur Shipyard of USC, work is underway to prepare for testing the multifunctional emergency rescue vessel with a capacity of 7 MW, the Kerch Strait, which is being built to operate in high latitudes and has a sufficient margin of safety for sailing in freezing non-Arctic seas.
“I always come to Komsomolsk-on-Amur with pleasure, because it is a working city. This is a city that protects our country. In this city, wonderful fighters are created, ships are built. We see how the work of the Amur Shipyard has changed. Previously, the enterprise had unresolved issues. And now, when the CEO reports that the enterprise is fully paying off its debts, that it is fully loaded with orders, this is, of course, great. This is good for Khabarovsk Krai, and for Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and for our entire country. The aircraft plant is fully loaded. Much remains to be done for small and large aviation. Work is going well on the Superjet-100 and fighters. We do not forget that we have debts to people for the construction of social facilities in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. And work in this direction will be accelerated. Now I have given a number of instructions and expect that the pace of work will be increased. The administration made a number of mistakes, including in the selection of contractors, but these miscalculations are of no interest to anyone. The main thing is that people get what they expect. We are trying to do this,” Yuri Trutnev summed up the results of his trip to Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
