As part of the certification of the SJ-100 aircraft with PD-8 engines, not two, but three aircraft will be involved, according to the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov.
According to him, the second prototype aircraft with PD-8 engines is scheduled to fly on April 25.
The second aircraft is already being prepared for flight. Colleagues have scheduled it for April 25. As we announced earlier, the first flight in a completely import-substituted configuration will take place before the end of April. And we are waiting for a third aircraft with these engines. This will be the fleet that will be involved in the certification of this engine.
The Minister added that the aircraft manufacturers were tasked with completing the certification tests by the end of the year and starting deliveries of SJ-100 aircraft with PD-8 engines in early 2026.
Earlier, UAC announced the full readiness of the import-substituted Superjet SJ-100 with PD-8 engines for its first flight.
