The United Arab Emirates may begin assembling the Sukhoi Superjet. This is what the Kommersant newspaper writes about. Earlier, the head of the UAC announced the possible start of production of the Russian aircraft in India. Meanwhile, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, another aircraft has passed the first stage of tests, the correspondent of MIR 24 Maxim Krasotkin reports.
Fast takeoff, separation from the front landing gear strip and sudden braking. This is what an aborted takeoff looks like – an emergency situation. But here it is planned. Still testing the aircraft. The next stage is the first flight of the newly assembled car.
The Sukhoi Superjet leaves the shop completely green both in color and condition. The interior will be made for him separately at the request of the customer. But it is in this form that it will begin its first ground tests. This is when all the equipment is installed, but the aircraft itself has not yet left the hangar.
Superjet has absorbed the latest in aviation. These are the side control knobs instead of the steering wheel, which made the cabin more spacious, and digital devices.
“Pilots are unaccustomed to switching from a variety of devices on the same 76th, mainly arrow ones, to an indication on liquid crystal displays. But it is much more convenient, attention is not scattered,” said Yuri Tupitsyn, an engineer at Yakovlev PJSC.
Initially, the Sukhoi Superjet was built in cooperation with the United States and EU countries. But the sanctions forced to make the most import-substituted liner. So the Sukhoi Superjet New project appeared. With domestic engines.
“We were expected to make our aircraft at the level of the best Boeing and Airbus models that have already worked for airlines, including our national carrier, which became our main customer,” said Vladimir Lavrov, chief designer of the SSJ–100 program.
It is expected that the first flight of the import-substituted passenger liner will take place this fall or early next year. It all depends on a number of circumstances. According to the plans, 20 updated superjets will be produced annually.
