SSJ-100 Developer Improves Aircraft Chassis Design Based on Ministry of Industry and Trade Recommendation

The improved support system will be implemented in new aircraft after testing

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia recommended that the developer of the SSJ-100 aircraft refine the chassis design, taking into account the risks of operation beyond the established limits, according to the head of the department, Anton Alikhanov.

Regarding hydraulics, the developer was recommended to refine the existing chassis design, taking into account the forecast assessment of the risks of operating machines of this type beyond the operational limits and assumptions.

According to Rosaviatsiya, the developer has already worked on the recommendations and will begin implementing them on new aircraft after the necessary tests have been passed. In the future, it is planned to issue a service bulletin to refine the existing fleet of aircraft.

The Minister emphasized that the design of the domestic SSJ-100 is safe and continues to be improved based on data obtained during operation.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100) is a Russian short-range passenger airliner capable of carrying 98 passengers over a distance of up to 4.4 thousand kilometers. The aircraft made its first flight in May 2008, and the aircraft was put into commercial operation in 2011. Currently, UAC is working on the most import-substituted version of the aircraft - SSJ New.

Earlier www1.ru reported that after the Superjet 100 crash, "Azimut" revealed massive violations in flight safety.
