Aircraft manufacturing is an important industry sector in Russia, employing around 355,300 people. The Russian aircraft industry offers a portfolio of internationally competitive military aircraft such as [[MiG-29]] and [[Su-30]], while new projects such as the [[Sukhoi Superjet 100]] are hoped to revive the fortunes of the civilian aircraft segment. In 2009, companies belonging to the [[United Aircraft Corporation]] delivered 95 new fixed-wing aircraft to its customers, including 15 civilian models. In addition, the industry produced over 141 helicopters. It is one of the most science-intensive hi-tech sectors and employs the largest number of skilled personnel. The production and value of the military aircraft branch far outstrips other defence industry sectors, and aircraft products make up more than half of the country's arms exports.<ref name="manturov">{{cite journal|url=http://dlib.eastview.com/browse/doc/20573392|title=Prospects for the Domestic Aircraft Industry|last1=Manturov|first1=Denis|journal=Military Parade|issue=4|year=2009|pages=8–9|access-date=15 September 2010|archive-date=25 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125171520/https://dlib.eastview.com/browse/doc/20573392|url-status=live}}</ref>
