The first Superjet with domestic PD-8 engines was shown in Russia

January 3 2024 16

The first passenger aircraft in the Russian Federation, SuperJet-100, equipped with the domestic PD-8 engine, became public knowledge. The aircraft has tail number 97012 and is the 157th Superjet. The story about the liner was shown in a report by the Rossiya 1 Khabarovsk TV channel.

This aircraft made its first flight back in 2018. Currently, specialists are finalizing the airliner as part of the SJ-100 project. The almost entirely domestic passenger aircraft flew in 2023, spending 54 minutes in the sky. Experts rated this flight “excellent.”

The first Superjet with domestic PD-8 engines was shown in Russia

Earlier, the Federal Air Transport Agency approved an updated airframe that included the installation of Russian equipment. 22 thousand laboratory “flights” of the airliner were carried out in Zhukovsky and Novosibirsk. The federal agency also approved all necessary technological processes for producing a modified Superjet design. The expected aircraft production volume in 2024 will be about two dozen units.

Work is also underway to modernize other types of Russian flight equipment. Thus, the Federal Air Transport Agency yesterday approved changes to the design of the Ka-32A transport helicopter, providing for a new cabin, more powerful engines and an updated fire extinguishing system.

Whatever you call it, it will fly. The name they chose was stupid: Super Jet 100. What’s super about it is nothing. It's not news that everyone is a Jet these days. There was no native name that would resonate and be remembered by everyone. So the story with this SD-100 dragged on, apparently that’s the name.

  They named it with an eye to export. For Boeing and Airbus replacement

    It is naive to hope for export in a crowded aviation market, and the names of the aircraft will not help here (naive dreamers, or incompetence of management). Government efforts are pushing the planes of large companies, and it is almost impossible to enter the world market in the medium and short-haul segment; long-haul segments are almost a monopoly. The main buyers of the SD-100, like the MS-21, will be countries friendly to the Russian Federation, and there are very few of them.

      I beg to differ.
      If the product was worthy in terms of quality and total cost, then it would be decided. Including through some kind of cooperation with the buyer country (screwdriver assembly or ordering individual components, but not like the Belarusians, who want to sell components, but do not buy airplanes for money).
      And don’t try to squeeze in 1-5 sides.
      There are 20+ aircraft at once, so it would be reasonable to set up a spare parts warehouse and a service center at the home airport.

        and need to be served all over the world, for more meaningful sales, which have always been unsolvable obstacles. Plus protection barriers, closure of cooperation, purchases of high-tech components, and today prohibitive sanctions. Aircraft manufacturing is too expensive and the strategy must be of the highest level, which is what we see with the SD-100. Conclusion: in a hybrid war it will not be possible to achieve successful aircraft production.

        Another 2-3 years - we'll see.
        Successes in related industries, 3D metal printing, are very beneficial, which makes it possible to achieve reasonable prices even with small production volumes.

        It looks like you are a big optimist and have little practical knowledge. The SD-100 flew to Japan, Spain or Australia, a defect was found there, what next. There is no support agreement with them (competitors). Flying with a team of repairmen and spare parts yourself means downtime and costs. And then most buyers refuse; this scenario frightened and frightens everyone. No matter how many years you wait, the competition is eternal, and the anti-Russian policy will last for many decades...

        I also cannot agree with you. In competitive aircraft manufacturing, it is generally impossible to break into the world market. Any innovations, new technologies will be bought up, stolen by Western intelligence services and presented as their own. And they won’t let you in at all, or share 49/51 shares with them as always. They won't settle for anything less. Perhaps only secret design bureaus with wartime devices.

        The same ssj was “allowed” into Mexico and Europe. The Irish team at the 2016 Championship flew on an ssj and posed on the ramp.
        And the problems with it were not due to the fact that they did not let it in, but because of the engines and the long procedure for replacing faulty ones.
        Now, of course, it will be more complicated, but the same can be solved if the product is worthy.

      If an airplane’s fuel efficiency is 10-15 percent better due to the engines, all other conditions of comfort and operation being equal, then they will even take it if there is no political component.
      The Super Jet 100 with these engines is about 15 percent (cost per flight hour) better compared to Boeing and Airbus.
      Well, the market consists of quite a few countries that need such aircraft, but are limited in obtaining Western types of aircraft. Not only will there be buyers, but they already exist.

22 thousand laboratory “flights” of the airliner are good.
But are the engines too low?
Any pebble from under the front wheel and......
Apparently the runway is supposed to be vacuumed before each takeoff.
The air intakes of Sushkas and MIGs are covered out of harm's way during takeoff.

  As low as Boeing Airbuses.

I hope this is import substitution, not the same as in the automobile industry? You can draw letters - PD 8 on anything. What other evidence will you have?

Well, I see... Everything is clear... What about changes in the design of the sj100 chassis?...

And if only for the Ka-32, you also need to stir up the Ka-27PL and Ka-29...
