News Analysis: The Global Electronics Intelligence domination by the U.S. National Security Agency allows a window of opportunity to open for Russian Aircraft Electronics Companies. Businessmen in particular may consider, for example, purchasing Sukhoi Superjet 100’s since they may have Russian Built (“Bug” Free) Electronics in their Cockpits. Invasion of Privacy concerns (which prevail with American Built Aircraft) as judged by Non-American Businessmen, will not be present in the Superjets.
The Superjet, a Titanium-Stainless-Aluminum Aircraft, sells for approximately a reported 35% of the cost of the equivalent American Product! Is the American Airframe gouging its customers? If one considers the alleged approximate $20 Million Dollars per aircraft in various Government Subsidies it receives, many people would answer ‘Definitely’. Depending on the configuration the Superjet 100 aircraft has a range of 4,578 km (2,470 nm) carrying 98 Passengers to 7,880 km (4,250 nm) in the VIP 8 Passenger Version. Both versions are BUILT TO LAST.
The benefit to Russia, in providing their own Electronics for the Cockpit is easy to understand. The benefit to Privacy, for International Businessmen and others, to buy such Russian Aircraft is Mandatory.
For Military or Commercial Aircraft, one should be aware: Information is Power; Personal Information is Nuclear. Think about this: Much of Business Importance is discussed in Multi-Hour Flights.
Many people maintain: “With American Built Aircraft, ‘The Walls Have Ears'”.
Reality.
