The Russian "Superjet" aircraft is very good in terms of handling and comfort. Such a high assessment was given to the liner in France, said test pilot of PJSC "Yakovlev" (part of the United Aircraft Corporation of Rostec) Leonid Chikunov.
He expressed hope that by the end of next year, import-substituted "Superjets" will begin to be supplied to airlines.
I tested Superjet with French certifiers from the European agency. According to their estimates, no Airbus is as easy, comfortable and safe to control as our swallow. This is their assessment, the French.
At the same time, UAC admitted the problem with the separation of the engine cowling SaM146 on "Superjets", however, the corporation associated it with improper technical installation maintenance.
"Superjet-100" is a narrow-body short-haul aircraft, designed to perform flights to a distance of up to 5 thousand km. Recall that the SJ-100 became the first civil serial aircraft created in Russia after the collapse of the USSR.
