Certification tests of the import-substituted "Superjet" SJ-100 with PD-8 engines are in full swing. During another flight on December 11, the aircraft with tail number 94024 climbed to a height of 12276 meters.
The tests took place in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The plane spent 4 hours and 6 minutes in the air, accelerating to 930 km/h. In this flight, the aircraft reached its practical ceiling.
Last time, the United Aircraft Corporation reported about the flight of the SJ-100 at such a high altitude back in April 2025. Then the crewraised the aircraft to 12,200 m, however, that particular aircraft had French-Russian SaM146 engines, not PD-8.
It should be noted that the official UAC website does not specify the practical ceiling indicators for the SJ-100 with domestic power plants.
The first flight of board number 94024 took place in September. Test pilot Dmitry Savonin said after it that all systems and units of the aircraft were operating normally, and the engines were also operating stably in all tested modes of acceleration and throttling.
