The new Russian SJ-100 "Superjet" airliner has been tested with an automatic control system (ACS). This was reported by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec).
Certification tests of the automatic control system have begun in Zhukovsky on the SJ-100 aircraft with domestic systems.
The Russian ACS is a joint development of specialists from the KRET concern and the "Yakovlev" company, which are part of Rostec. In the first two flights, the crew evaluated the basic autopilot modes - vertical speed of climb and descent, reaching a given flight level, horizontal flight, climb and descent path angle, turn to a given course, as well as their combinations, including simulating the failure of one engine.
In all tested modes, their combinations and transitions from one mode to another, the ACS was rated positively.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the assembly of the MS-21 aircraft fuselage sections has been completed in Irkutsk.
