MIAMI – A joint venture to build a supersonic passenger aircraft will be set up by Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Emirati State-owned investment company Mubadala, Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov said on Sunday.
Previously, the Russian company attempted to make a passenger aircraft based on the Tupolev Tu-160, but later rejected the proposal, choosing to develop a new supersonic aircraft from the ground up.
