According to him, SJ-100 "Superjets" are already flying with PD-8 as part of certification, and the Be-200 has yet to go through this.

Work is currently underway to re-engine the Be-200 and SJ-100 based on PD-8 engines.

The PD-8 dual-circuit engine has a thrust of 8 tons and was created for the "Superjet" and Be-200 using advanced technologies and new Russian materials. The experience of creating the PD-14 engine is actively used in the work.

The Be-200 amphibious aircraft is manufactured at the facilities of the Beriev Tagantrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex.
