Rostec specialists will replace about 40 imported systems and components in the production of the SJ-100 "Superjet" aircraft. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.
As part of the import substitution efforts, the engine, avionics, landing gear, auxiliary power unit, integrated control system, power supply systems, air conditioning, fire protection and others will be replaced.
The aircraft also received a domestic fuselage, which was modified to simplify the production and maintenance of the aircraft.
Today's flight confirms the correctness of our engineering calculations and the high readiness of the aircraft. The project is being implemented in a very short time by the standards of the global aircraft industry. After 2022, the "Superjet" has to be actually reassembled from scratch. At the same time, the engine is one of the key elements of the import substitution program, it is the "heart" of the aircraft. There is still a lot of work ahead and many flights. In April, another, fully Russian, aircraft with PD-8 engines will join the certification flight tests.
On Monday, March 17, a "Superjet" made its first flight with domestic PD-8 engines. Also, UEC will soon test a fully import-substituted "Superjet".
Earlier www1.ru reported that UEC will retain control of the enterprise developing the PD-14 engine for the MS-21 airliner.
