Foreign assistance

Sukhoi has welcomed foreign assistance to develop the plane, using European sub-contractors and bringing Boeing on board to advise on testing and after-sales support.

Italian aerospace firm Alenia Aeronautica has taken a 25% stake in the holding company responsible for the new plane.

"We are looking at a very highly developed aircraft which the Russian industry probably would not be able to build on its own," a spokesman for Flight International magazine said.

My first impression was that it looks like the Airbus A319, A320, and A321 product line.
