Russian aircraft industry: take off is allowed, not everyone is willing to pay as you understood, the polls on the channel are not random. On October 29, VTsIOM published a study on the attitude of Russians to the domestic civil aircraft industry. The result is ambiguous: most respondents believe that the industry will develop, but the technological superiority of Russian aircraft is recognized by a minority. And the idea of financing new planes through an additional payment from passengers is supported by only a third of respondents. During the last three years, 25% of respondents flew at least once in a Russian-made aircraft. Among those who flew on domestic planes, 68% rated their willingness to recommend such flights as 7-10 points on a scale from 0 to 10. This indicates a fairly high loyalty of passengers with practical experience in this type of flights. Technological parity is unclear 17% of Russians believe that Russian civil aircraft are superior to their foreign counterparts in terms of technology. Another 31% estimate them to be roughly equal. 22% have the opposite opinion, and 30% had difficulty answering. Estimates vary considerably by age. Among Russians over the age of 60, 28% consider domestic technologies more advanced, and 14% believe they are inferior to foreign ones. In the 18-24 age group these shares are 10% and 23% respectively. Among respondents aged 25-34, 6% identify superiority, 28% indicate backwardness; In the 35-44 age group the ratio is 11% and 30%, in the 45-59 age group - 19% and 22%. Among respondents with a higher education, only 9% consider the Russian aircraft to be technologically more advanced, and 27% admit that they are lagging behind. Technological equality was recorded at 33%. Among people with partial secondary education, the share of those who talk about the superiority of home technologies reaches 30%. The assessment also varies according to media consumption.
