Russia is actively updating its fleet of domestic aircraft. In particular, this concerns engines for the latest Russian liners Sukhoi Superjet 100 and MC-21, created entirely from domestic components. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Saveliev.
According to him, PD-8 engines will begin to be used after certification.
The PD-8 engine is currently being tested. Initially, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft was international, with a Russian-French engine. Now the PD-8 engine is undergoing certification, and we hope that very soon these aircraft will be used with new engines. About 152 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft are currently in operation, and they are actively used.
In August, Rosaviatsia issued a directive on airworthiness, instructing airlines to inspect 14 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft manufactured in 2016.
Aviation expert Roman Gusarov explained that re-engining the Sukhoi Superjet 100 with the PD-8 will take a long time and cost a large sum of money.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the manufacturer of the Be-200 amphibian with PD-8 will hide reports against the background of huge losses.
