YASHZ Avia (part of the Altai Tire Plant, ASHK) has successfully completed qualification tests for compliance with the requirements of Russian aircraft tubeless tires for the nose and main landing gear of domestic MC-21 aircraft and the main landing gear for RRJ-95 aircraft (Sukhoi Superjet 100 family).
Initial tests in 2023 made it possible to adjust the design documentation for the tires at the initial stage of development for the nose and main tires for the MC-21 aircraft. This made it possible to obtain a positive result in qualification tests from the first time in 2025.
The positive test result brings YASHZ Avia to a new stage in the tire certification process. After receiving a certificate of airworthiness for the developed standard sizes of tires 1050x385R482 mod. 1A, 770x240R-356 mod. 1A and 1260x450 R-559 mod. 1A, the company will be able to start mass production.
The plant has also begun an initiative to develop a tire for the nose landing gear for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 family of aircraft. The first tire sample is scheduled for production in 2025.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Superjet SJ-100 tested a new mode of PD-8 aircraft engines at minimum speed for the first time.
