The SM-100 was created in the dimensions of the serial AI-222-25, but features a reduced weight and an increased thrust by a third - up to 3300 kgf.

The design of the power plant allows for a significant increase in service life while reducing thrust requirements, which results in a noticeable reduction in operating costs. A modification for high-altitude, long-endurance UAVs can be developed based on the engine.
