«Полёт отличный»: новая российская радиосвязь для SJ-100 испытана в воздухе

As part of the SJ-100 factory and certification testing program, approximately 30 flights have already been completed

Flight certification tests of the import-substituted SJ-100 aircraft are ongoing in the Moscow region, which started in early June. Now it's time for radio communication tests.

The flight to test the new domestic equipment lasted 2.5 hours.

The flight went perfectly today; we were performing radio communication tests. There is constant dialogue with people and instructors regarding this aircraft. I see no problems with either the modifications or the execution of the tests.

In total, by the end of 2025, the test pilots will have to perform about 200 flights on three prototypes of the SJ-100. Two other SJ-100 aircraft will join the tests after PD-8 engines are installed on them in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Currently, as part of the SJ-100 factory and certification testing program, approximately 30 flights have already been successfully completed.
