Honestly, they're both going to be fine. The MC-21 will find few buyers outside of Russia and some friendly allies, but that has to do with supply chains, support agreements, and all kinds of other stuff that has nothing to do with the aircraft itself. The MAX will always have a bad reputation because of the accidents, but the reality is that the issues with MCAS implementation are over and it will go back to being a boring 737 variant. I'd fly on either one of these, any day of the week, and not worry in the least.

Well, the composite design is pretty cool. But what else makes this plane so revolutionary? It's using the same engines as the A220 and E-Jets which have been around for a while.

The 787 and A350 are examples of beautiful new planes by Boeing and Airbus. Hopefully we do see more – especially a 757 replacement.

Ha. The exhaust from an F-35B will just melt it.

@superjet1007 Well, marketing and management practices can always be spruced up. What can't? Well, for starters... the fact that your business exists within a kleptocracy that operates for the benefit of a single man whose whims and dreams drive policy no matter the consequences.

Then again... maybe it will. If you hate Boeing, buy Airbus or one of the larger E2-Jets. Will Irkut/Yak even be around in a few years? How will geopolitics affect the availability of parts and support? What happens if Russia's economy does not improve? What happens if there's a war with China? For the vast majority of commercial airlines on the planet, Airbus and Boeing are safe bets. Messing with Russian manufacturers has gotten a lot of people burnt over the years.
