In 2010 United Aircraft Corporation delivered more than 75 aircraft to national and foreign, civil and military customers.

It is planned to produce more than 100 airplanes in 2011. According to the Production Plan, the total number of military and civil aircraft manufactured by the UAC's enterprises from 2011 to 2013 will exceed 450 airplanes.

The BoD has approved the key areas of the UAC's activities for 2011.
