Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO), based in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Russian Far East, is the largest aircraft-manufacturing company in Russia.[1]

Overview

The company currently produces Su-27SM/SKM fighters, Su-30MK2 multirole fighters, Su-33 and Su-27KUB shipborne fighters, and Be-103 amphibians, among others.[2] The assembly line for all versions of the new Sukhoi Superjet 100 is located at the company's facilities.
