The State Corporation plans to manufacture and supply aircraft and helicopters under the preferential leasing program with co-financing from the National Welfare Fund at a rate of 1.5% per annum.

Aircraft production will be carried out by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Russian Helicopters — both organizations are part of Rostec. According to the head of the state corporation Sergey Chemezov, the signed contracts will allow "to deploy full-scale production of the necessary machines." Preparatory activities at the enterprises of UAC, Russian Helicopters and other companies have already been launched. Prior to that, the head of the Russian government Mikhail Mishustin announced the allocation of more than 237 billion rubles for the development of projects in the field of aircraft construction, and over the next two years an additional 37 billion rubles will be allocated for this. The Head of government clarified that the funds will be provided on a refundable basis by purchasing bonds of Russian leasing companies.
