The article analyzes two main documents regulating the development of the
civil aircraft industry in Russia in 2022-2023. The author comes to the conclusion
that despite the desire to achieve technological sovereignty in this industry, strategic documents are more of an investment than an innovative nature, technological sovereignty is perceived rather as a continuation of the import substitution
policy, the creation of innovations is implemented through a system of state order
of a cascade type of management without horizontal links, and the structure-centric element is the Government of the Russian Federation. At the same time, there
is no platform for agreeing on a unified policy for the development of innovative
production solutions, as well as for the exchange of already created new technologies. As a solution to this problem, a model of an industry innovation system
is proposed, which is characterized by the formalization of relations, a decrease
in excessive centralization, the admission of a larger number of subjects to the
development of strategic development documents, the involvement of airlines in
investing in innovative developments and the creation of a coordination platform
for the development of innovations.
