The first import-substituting aircraft SJ-100 took to the air for the first time

2 773 10

The first fully import-substituting aircraft SJ-100, built by the United Aircraft Corporation according to serial technology, took off in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. This was reported by Rostec. It is emphasized that the machine spent about an hour in the sky.


The first aircraft built using serial technologies took to the air. The certification process is still ongoing, but the aircraft was created in serial production, in the target form planned for delivery. Let us recall that the aircraft received an updated, improved fuselage and dozens of new systems and units to replace foreign ones. Currently, 24 serial aircraft are in production at various stages of readiness. This confirms that Russia has been and remains an aircraft manufacturing power capable of creating modern aircraft both in international cooperation and without the participation of foreign partners.

- said in a statement.



Rostec adds that as part of the import substitution work, dozens of foreign systems and units were replaced on the aircraft. Thus, the machine is equipped with the latest domestic PD-8 engines manufactured by UEC.

The modification also affected the airframe. This was necessary to install Russian systems, as well as to simplify the production process and maintenance of the aircraft.

– they explain at the state corporation.

According to engineers, the modified version of the airframe of the import-substituting Superjet and its manufacturing technologies were previously certified by the aircraft developer together with the aviation authorities and Rosaviatsia. This allowed the airframe to be manufactured according to serial design documentation.

    Why do the engines smoke? What generation is it? Why is the engine called PD-8 and why is it not based on the PD-14 gas generator? They have cobbled together something incomprehensible...

      Why are you picking on me again? Do you work as an aircraft designer and understand something about aircraft construction? Or did you just get a job as a bot at the CIPSO and your job description includes "grunting" all Russian technical developments? Here are my questions for you. Discuss them at a planning meeting with your boss.

      In another 17 years they will either launch it into production or not.

    This is a test flight of a serial one after assembly. There are already 8 units waiting for a test flight and 24 on the assembly lines.
    The engine trace depends on the aviation fuel used. There are several names of kerosene. In Russia, several grades of kerosene are used for aviation: TS-1 for subsonic civil and military equipment, RT for supersonic aviation, and also for certain types of aircraft - T-1, T-1S, T-2, T-6 and T-8V. The most popular are TS-1 and RT
    Don't confuse the gas generator and the engine. The gas generator is only part of the PD-8 engine, it is its "hot" part. And in order to understand what and how, you need to have a full description of the design of this engine. Do you have it?

    Excellent! Well done aircraft manufacturers! In all the Kaklo bots, tsipsoshnye sycophants, Judases and traitors, jackals, let them spray poisonous saliva and try to slander and belittle any good news! Give us a series of Russian passenger planes! Hurray, hurray, hurray! Russia has always been one of the leaders in aircraft manufacturing, a great aviation power, our unique and unrivaled Tu 160, combat Su! Excellent transport Il-76, long in production! And now we have corrected the betrayal of the 90s by launching domestic passenger, keep it up! Glory to Russia!!!, we patriots have always believed that domestic aviation will be revived, instead of the terrible, dangerous and exorbitantly expensive Boeings and Airbuses.. ... Russia worthily takes its place of honor among the four world aircraft manufacturing powers!

    Well done, Russia is the only country that can assemble such a plane entirely on its own, no one else can.

    Good news. Bottom line: even if you move at a snail's pace toward your goal, you'll get there eventually, it's just a matter of time...
