"The production of airframe elements will be handled by one of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC)'s plants; development of working design documentation is complete, material shipping has commenced," the source said.

Another source told TASS that construction of the plane's cockpit is already underway.

"The final assembly of the entire machine should be complete in 2021," he noted. The Tupolev Design Bureau's press service refrained from commenting on construction of the first PAK DA.

In February 2020, Krivoruchko announced that the first engine for the plane will begin stand trials this year.
