The old version of the SJ-100 "Superjet" has a significant flaw that directly affects the safety of the aircraft. This was reported by Honored Pilot Oleg Smirnov.
According to him, in this aircraft, the landing gear strut and the fuel tank are attached to the same spar. During a hard landing, the strut punctures the tank with all the ensuing consequences.
The new import-substituted aircraft will not have this defect. But one and a half hundred old ones continue to fly and have not yet been modified.
Smirnov did not rule out that this defect led to the fire and death of people during a hard landing at Sheremetyevo in 2019.
"Perviy Technicheskiy" reported that the domestic SSJ-New is not a modernization, but a completely rewritten aircraft. Import substitution reaches 97%, which means replacing everything: from software to hydraulic systems, from the PD-8 engine to navigation devices.
