Ростех откажется от названия «Суперджет»: самолету дадут новое имя

SJ-100 may be renamed "Yakovlev"

Rostec may consider the possibility of renaming the SJ-100 Superjet aircraft. This was announced by the head of the state corporation, Sergey Chemezov.

The manager was asked, "Has a brand been developed for the entire line of OAK civil aircraft? What naming options are being considered? Will you abandon Superjet?"

Yes, we will abandon it. We have it all under the A.S. Yakovlev Design Bureau, and I think it will be "Yakovlev".
Sergey Chemezov, head of Rostec

SJ-100 is a Russian short-haul narrow-body aircraft, a new version of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 with maximum import substitution of components. The project was initiated after the introduction of Western sanctions against Russia.

Earlier www1.ru reported that work on the Baikal aircraft has reached a dead end: it will never see the light of day.
