Rosaviatsiya has approved a change to the airframe of the SJ-100 aircraft from PJSC Yakovlev. It was modified not only for Russian systems and components, which are being actively import-substituted, but also for easier operation and maintenance of the aircraft.
The approval of this change allows us to move to the production of SJ-100 according to serial design documentation, in order to transfer the first import-substituted aircraft into operation in 2024, in accordance with the instructions of the Government of the Russian Federation. The next important step in certification will be the approval of import-substituted systems and the PD-8 main power plant as part of the aircraft. Given the geography of our cooperation, we are working with our suppliers in this direction almost around the clock.
The first production models of the new modified SJ-100 are already being assembled in the workshops of the Production Center in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
