Росавиация сертифицировала авиадвигатель SaM14 с российскими свечами зажигания

They passed all the necessary tests both independently and on the aircraft

Rosaviatsiya has confirmed the successful certification of domestic spark plugs for Russian-French SaM146 aircraft engines. Rostec announced their creation and testing by its Rybinsk-based subsidiary, UEC-Saturn, earlier.

In Russia's aircraft fleets, you can now find over a hundred SJ-100 aircraft flying with SaM146 engines. Now they will be able to serve longer

The Ufa Aggregate Production Association will produce the spark plugs. However, UEC-Saturn has developed not only this domestically produced component, but also others.

Thanks to the work done by UEC-Saturn specialists, the total operating time of the power plants in operation, lifting Superjet 100 aircraft into the sky, has already exceeded 3 million flight hours. The dispatch reliability rate for the engine was 99.92%.

It is known that about 40 systems and units in the SJ-100 have already been replaced with Russian-made ones, including avionics. Work is also underway on a completely domestic engine for these aircraft, the PD-8, which will not depend on import substitution modifications.

The PD-8 turbofan engine will operate on various types of aircraft - and even helicopters

Systems for maintenance and repair of electronic components of the SJ-100 have also been replaced. The first such center in Russia opened in September at the technopark of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute of the Irkut Corporation (part of the UAC of Rostec).
