The new design increases lift and shortens takeoff and landing distances

TsAGI has completed the preliminary technical design stage

Engineers have proposed a solution that reduces fuel consumption and increases flight safety

Made of domestic polymer composite materials

Power plants will be located under, above the wing, in the front and rear of it

TsAGI developers aim to recreate the kinematics and dynamics of bird and insect flight in it

In the new project, control is achieved through two tail booms with adjustable nozzles

This approach will reduce the weight of the aircraft

Engineers have determined a mid-wing configuration as the optimal design

The first import-independent SJ-100s are expected to be put into operation this year
