Russia's UAC tests Sberbank's GigaChat for aircraft design

Russia's United Aircraft Corporation is experimenting with Sberbank's GigaChat AI model to assist in generative design of future aircraft. The project remains experimental, helping engineers explore configurations before detailed engineering, with no specific aircraft or timeline disclosed.

• GigaChat is used for generative design of aircraft configurations
• Project is experimental; no aircraft model or timeline named
• UAC replaced foreign software on about 4,000 engineering computers
• MC-21 certification with all-Russian components expected in late 2027
