Russian planemakers eye global markets

Desperate to shed its Soviet Union image as a maker of clunky airliners, Russia is eager to become a significant player in the global civil aviation market.
The nation is pinning its hopes on a new aircraft project and its reputation as a trusted arms exporter.
But first, it will need to win over sceptics in the home market.
Not a single new Russian civil aircraft engineering project has been successfully turned into a mass-produced plane during the past two decades since the USSR ceased to exist.
And domestic-made planes that used to offer the only means of air transport have suffered a heavy defeat in a battle with foreign planes.
According to estimates, foreign-planes carry out about 75% of all flights by Russian airlines.
The collapse of the aircraft building infrastructure that was built up during the Soviet era was accelerated by a lack of funds during the 1990s.
So the newcomers have arguably started from scratch, gradually, painstakingly building the foundations for what they hope will be a solid aerospace industry.
And at last they have something to show for their efforts.
At last week's Farnborough air show, Sukhoi's regional Superjet 100 was flown, while another flagship project, the MS-21, was displayed in the form of a cabin mock-up.
Several contracts and memorandums of understanding worth billions of dollars to deliver both planes in future were also signed.
