Flight tests of the Superjet with a domestic power plant are proceeding according to plan

The liner flew at an altitude of 11,300 m at a speed of 0.78 Mach

The plane will take to the skies in April

Two new engines are ready for installation on the import-substituted aircraft

The power plants will be used in certification flight tests of the updated passenger aircraft

UAC stated that the first stage of SJ-100 tests with PD-8 was dedicated to checking the operation of onboard systems

So far, the SJ-100 has made its first flight with the power plants

The test program includes more than 50 flights

The Ufa-based "ODK-UMPO" also manufactured castings for bearing housings

ODK-Perm Motors also developed a nozzle guide vane and stator

The liner was in the air for about 40 minutes

Computer modeling was used to speed up the certification of power plants

A large number of brackets and mounts are located on the power unit

The system controls important parameters for efficient and economical operation of the power plant

The power unit was mounted on the prototype aircraft 95157
