On August 29, the first flight of the domestic import-substituted SJ-100 aircraft took place. Commenting on this event, the head of the Rostec state corporation (which includes the United Aircraft Corporation) said that Western sanctions cannot stop the development of Russian aircraft construction.
Sanctions have complicated the work, but they cannot stop the development of domestic aircraft construction. The first flight of the updated SJ-100 is another evidence that the main aviation programs are reaching the finish line.
The first flight of the domestic SJ-100 lasted 54 minutes at an altitude of up to 3 thousand meters and a speed of up to 343 km/h. In total, about 40 systems and components were replaced in it.
The country will have wings. Mass deliveries of new aircraft will start in 2024.
