At present, the parties are at the initial stage of development and design of an airliner. Thanks to a selected team of highly qualified specialists, the aircraft will meet all the necessary technical requirements of the market. The most advanced composite materials and high-tech solutions will be used in its creation. It is assumed that by the year 2025 will take place the first flight of the aircraft.

It is known that CR929 should receive more than 50 percent of parts made from composite materials such as reinforced polymer carbon fiber. This will reduce the weight of the airframe and reduce the cost of aircraft maintenance.
