The interior of the Russian MS-21 will be spacious
New details have emerged about the import-substituted MC—21 model aircraft, which Yakovlev specialists are actively working on - its cabin will be more spacious than that of the American Boeing 737, and the size of the portholes is 30% larger than the European Airbus A320.
The fuselage of the new MS-21, wider than its foreign counterparts, will provide the possibility of placing six passenger seats in one row, and two people or a passenger and a flight attendant with a grocery cart will freely disperse in the aisle between them.
