Ssj 100 interior diagram best seats. Russian aviation

The pride of the Russian aviation industry, an innovative development on which the government has big plans - all this is about the model of the modern Sukhoi Suprejet-100 aircraft.

Despite the fact that the model has a number of shortcomings, it is the next step in the development of domestic passenger transportation over short distances.
Subject to responsible development and modifications, it has every reason to receive the title of best in its class.

History of creation

Work began on creating a prototype of the first Superjet after the PRJ project won the competition for a development license.

In February 2006 the company began assembling the first SSJ model, and exactly 1 year later the model was delivered from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the Zhukovsky test site for the purpose of presentation and conducting a static control test.

In February 2008, the first check was carried out to check the performance of the power plant and its compatibility with other systems. After another 2 months, the Sukhoi Superjet-100 was tested on the runway.

The model passed the movement and steering tests successfully.

This fall, the SSJ-100 underwent certification testing at the Interstate Aviation Committee and passed endurance tests.

On December 24, 2008, under the control of test pilot L. Chikunov and N. Pushenko, the airliner took off for more than 2 hours. The height to which the model rose reached 6 km.

The results of TsAGI inspections were received in 2010, as a result of which ZAO received a license to produce this modification. On April 19, the first prototype was donated to the Armenian air carrier Armavia, which successfully operates it for its needs.

Design

The SaM146 turbofan power unit from the Russian-French company Power Jet, installed on both sides of the body, ensures flawless operation of the model. The layout of the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft is no different from standard classical aerodynamic standards, representing an ordinary short-haul passenger aircraft.

The swept-back shape of the wings, equipped with single-slot flaps, the nose fairing, many mechanisms and parts - all this is made of composite materials.

The aircraft is controlled using a sidestick installed instead of a steering wheel, which is used for the first time in domestic developments.

Mechanical shock absorbers are not installed for landing safety, since instead the designers used automatic protection against contact with the tail part of the landing strip.

Interior layout

The manufacturer comments on the cabin layout with the following words: “The seats in our Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft are designed in such a way that the greatest comfort and safety, created by unprecedented characteristics, are put at the forefront. Thus, a passenger who arrived on a large airliner for long-haul flights and transferred to a small regional one will hardly feel the difference.

The design of the economy class cabin in size comparison is identical to Boeing or Airbus. The distance in the legs allows even tall people to sit quietly and straighten their legs, and the shelf for storing luggage with a capacity of 50 liters breaks all records.

This has the added benefit of not having to check your bag or suitcase as luggage and then wait to receive it upon arrival.”

The arrangement of seats on the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft is designed in such a way that there are 2 categories: economy and business class.

The inexpensive cabin has 75 seats versus 12 in the more expensive class.

Separately, the arrangement of the seats should be mentioned; they are placed in such a way that there are 3 in one row on one side of the board, and 2 across the aisle on the second side. Toilets are located in the front and back.

Location of the best places

Total cabin capacity may vary significantly depending on seat selection. The most comfortable ones in economy class are in row 6. There is more legroom here as there are no seats in the front.

The rest are considered relatively convenient, differing in many ways from their “classmates” used in regional aviation. The distance between adjacent seats is 81 cm.

The opposite situation concerns the last row; the partition installed at the back does not allow you to fully recline the backrest and sit with maximum comfort.

In addition, the structure of the aircraft cabin has some features that apply to almost all seats in any public transport. Therefore, it is advisable to take them into account when choosing a place:

1. The seats located near the window are distinguished by the fact that you can admire the views throughout the entire flight (subject to a daytime flight and clear weather). However, getting out of it is inconvenient; you will have to disturb the neighboring passenger;
2. Aisle seats have completely opposite characteristics. It’s easy to go to the toilet using them; you don’t need to ask anyone to let you in. But, quite often, passing flight attendants delivering food and water on carts, as well as passengers and a neighbor who needs to get out, can be disturbing.

General technical specifications

One of the main differences that the Sukhoi Superjet-100 has is its production using modern technologies and innovative projects.

Due to this, some technical characteristics are radically different from analogues produced earlier.
You can familiarize yourself with them using the table below:

Thanks to its features, the Sotka can be used on all types of runways.

In addition, the model’s avionics allows it to perform these actions even in difficult weather conditions.

In addition, the price of tickets for a small aircraft is low, which makes it more popular for use in regional transportation.

Modifications of the Super Jet-100 family

As of November 2017, 151 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft have been produced. However, this applies not only to one model, but to the entire series, developed on a single basis.

In total, 7 different variations are currently known, intended for different purposes:

1. The Sukhoi Superjet-100 V aircraft is the standard version from which the history of the model began;
2. Model 100 B-VIP is an administrative and business option developed on the basis of the main model. At this time, 2 aircraft are operated in the Rossiya SLO and 1 in the RusJet airline;
3. 100 LR (Long Range) – has an increased flight range, reaching 4,500 km;
4. 100 LR-VIP – administrative and business option with an increased flight distance. 5 units of equipment were produced (2 Ministry of Emergency Situations, 2 Royal Court of Thailand, 1 Kazakh branch of a Swiss company);
5. 100 SV - the model is under development, the manufacturer undertakes to present a prototype with a larger fuselage and greater passenger capacity in 2018;
6. Sukhoi Business Jet, or SBJ, is intended for flights of important people. Features increased comfort. The interior trim is made to order. Today, the only owner of such a model is the Kazakh Ministry of Emergency Situations;
7. Sportjet by Sukhoi is a modification designed to transport athletes; it is planned to begin serial production by the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Of the total number of Superjet aircraft produced, only 117 units were delivered to customers, the rest are in the manufacturer’s hangar or are undergoing static tests in Zhukovsky.

Advantages of the aircraft

As mentioned earlier, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is produced using modern technologies, which allows us to speak of its high quality, reliability and safety.

The main structures are designed in such a way that this model is the only one certified to the global standard. In addition, during the development of the aircraft, not only technical requirements were taken into account, but also the wishes and recommendations of future customers.

This made it possible to bring Pavel Sukhoi’s designs as close as possible to the ideal option.

Benefits are divided into those received from passengers and operational ones, those that affect pilots and owners involved in maintenance. If we consider the positive characteristics of the aircraft from travelers, we can note the following:

1. Convenient aircraft layout;
2. A salon characterized by width and spaciousness;
3. Comfortably installed soft passenger seats;
4. Modern production and use of modern finishing materials in the production.

However, despite numerous positive reviews, the opinion is often heard that the model requires significant improvements. Perhaps this is the reason that the model spends most of its time on the ground, and during flights the cabin is filled no more than half.

Disadvantages of the aircraft

A serious blow to the brand's image was the tragedy that occurred during a test flight over Indonesia.

The accident killed 45 people, some of whom could have become potential customers. Although, as a result of the examination, the cause of the collision with the mountain was not the technical condition of the aircraft, but the erroneous actions of the crew, many people’s opinion about the Superjet-100 changed, and the manufacturing company lost a large number of orders.

Most of the list of manufactured Model 100 and Model 95 aircraft have notes regarding common problems that arise with enviable regularity. This may be explained by the fact that the Superjet is a new development, which, like all new products, has technical errors that only appear during long-term operation.

Another option is Russian assembly. For some customers, this fact is enough to refuse a purchase.

If we look at the statistics, the flight time of models does not exceed 3 – 4 hours a day. The only positive coefficient is shown by Yakutia Airlines with a time above average - 6.5 hours.

The reason for the low popularity is the high cost of spare parts, the production of which is not profitable for the manufacturer due to the small number of aircraft.

Many passengers notice the design feature of the Superjet - the low location of the windows. In order to look at them, an adult has to hunch over or slide down, which is not entirely comfortable. In addition, a number of unpleasant surprises of the model were noted:

1. Strong floor vibration;
2. Poor sound insulation;
3. Lack of individual ventilation;
4. Poor layout of emergency exits, of which there are very few.

Despite the different dynamics of the advantages and disadvantages of the model, it is a national pride, since it is the only aircraft designed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, while meeting all international requirements. Moreover, despite the description of the Superjet-100 as a model that has a number of shortcomings and constantly requires the intervention of technicians, it does not have cases that radically characterize the danger of the model.

During the entire short period of use with the aircraft, there was not a single serious breakdown that resulted in the death of people. The incident that occurred in Indonesia is not taken into account as it occurred for a different reason.

In 2000, the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft company was founded to develop and produce civil aircraft.

In 2007, a strategic partnership agreement was concluded with Alenia Aermacchi (a division of Finmeccanica, Italy).

The first rollout took place in 2007. In May 2008, the first flight of the SSJ100 took place. Well-known manufacturer of combat aircraft Alenia Aermacchi (Finmeccanica company)

In April 2011, the first commercial flight took place on the route Yerevan - Moscow.

International cooperation

More than 30 Russian and foreign companies are involved in the development and production of the aircraft.

Engine SaM146, installed on the Superjet, was developed and manufactured by PowerJet, a joint venture of the Russian NPO Saturn and one of the leaders in engine manufacturing for aviation, the French Safran Snecma. The developers managed to create an easy-to-maintain and lighter motor. It has fewer moving parts than its competitors. The use of a modern engine allows the SSJ100 to meet ICAO standards for noise and negative impact on the environment.

Unfortunately, the share of components produced in Russia has decreased.

The main advantages of the SuperJet 100: reduced weight, simple and lightweight engine, spacious cabin with a wide aisle, larger compartments for hand luggage than competitors, large cargo compartment doors.

The crew consists of two pilots and two flight attendants.

Characteristics of SuperJet SSJ 100

The cost of the SSJ100-95B declared by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft is $25 million. The sale price is lower than the cost and amounts to $20 million.

Operators

The main customer of the SuperJet 100 is the Russian Aeroflot. At the end of 2014, the company was operating 10 aircraft with 30 ordered. The Mexican airline InterJet is also trying to keep up.
The total number of orders from Yakutia Airlines, GazpromAvia, InterJet is 130 aircraft.

The Mexican airline InterJet received its first flight on September 18, 2013. The maximum daily load was 11 flight hours. During the first year of operation there was not a single flight cancellation due to technical reasons. The longest route on which InterJet SSJ 100 airliners fly is a flight from Mexico City to Tijuana lasting 3 hours 9 minutes.

The main spare parts logistics center is located in Frankfurt and is managed by Lufthansa Technik Logistik. Two other spare parts supply centers are located in Moscow and Miami.

The Sukhoi fuselage is higher and wider than that of its direct competitors in the 70-100 passenger segment. When installing 4 chairs in a row, the passage is 50.8 cm. An option with 5 chairs in a row is possible. In this case, the seat width is 46.2 cm.

Cockpit

The controls have servo drives. As in most modern aircraft, the steering wheel has been replaced with a joystick.

Thanks only to broad international cooperation, it was possible to create the aircraft "Sukhoi Superjet 100". This airliner for regional airlines combines high flight performance and excellent aerodynamics combined with excellent comfort for passengers.

History of the aircraft

Only the close partnership of the State Sukhoi Aircraft Company with the company from Italy Alenia Aeronautica and the Snecma company for sharing risks with the participation of a consultant represented by the flagship aircraft manufacturer Boeing Commercial Aircraft made it possible to organize the project Sukhoi Superjet 100. The project involves 30 companies supplying various systems and components for them.

On February 17, 2006, we began assembling a new Superjet 100, which was transported to TsAGI in 2007 and static tests began. May 19, 2008 Superjet 100 took off from the ground and flew in a circle, and in December of the same year, the second flight model with a crew of test pilots L. Chikunov and N. Pushenko spent more than two hours in the air at an altitude of 6 thousand meters.

The third flight prototype with serial number 95003 was first presented in June 2009 at the international air show in France. On July 25 of the same year, the fourth prototype of the Superjet 100 was ready to continue flight testing. This aircraft with serial number 95004 was equipped with standard systems and a ready-made cabin for passengers.

In September 2010, the entire static testing program was completed Sukhoi Superjet 100, strength characteristics were confirmed and a certificate was issued from the IAC aviation register.

The first production aircraft with serial number 95007 was given the name “Yuri Gagarin” and it became the property of an aviation company from Armenia. To fill the market, 1040 aircraft will be required until 2027, and experts predict that the demand for aircraft of this level will reach 6100 aircraft by that time.

Description of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft

The machine is made according to a normal layout scheme - it is an aircraft with a low-mounted wing of constant sweep, with two new engines and a traditional arrangement of the fin and stabilizer. The wing with a supercritical profile is equipped with single-slot flaps. It is planned to equip the wing with aerodynamic wingtips on new aircraft and equip earlier aircraft with them.

The wing in the root and nose parts and its mechanization are made of composite materials. The placement of algorithmic protection on the machine against contact with the rear fuselage of the runway made it possible to abandon the use of mechanical shock absorbers.

PowerJet took into account the requirements of the family SSJ 100 on power plants and equipped the vehicle with new SaM146 engines with high quality performance characteristics.

In the cockpit, five displays were placed on the front panel, displaying flight and engine parameters, navigation and meteorological conditions. The usual steering wheel in the cockpit was removed, and instead a so-called “sidestick” was placed on the side - a side control stick.

SSJ 100 cabin

The location of the instrument panel, aircraft and engine controls is designed so that in case of unforeseen circumstances, one crew member could continue the flight and land.

The remote control system on the new machine ensured flight safety at all stages. This possibility is guaranteed by the high reliability of the aircraft systems and original equipment to protect against errors associated with the human factor.

The aircraft's aerodynamics layout allows it to fly at cruising speeds comparable to those on long-haul aircraft with optimal fuel consumption, which provides a significant advantage over its competitors.

SSJ100 meets modern requirements to ensure the environmental friendliness of the project and has low emission and noise levels.

SSJ 100 interior photo

The whole family SSJ 100 has high unification across all parts and assemblies of the aircraft. The wing for all modifications remains unchanged with a constant geometry; there are more seats for passengers due to inserts in the central part of the body. This unification reduces the cost of repair and maintenance of the entire fleet of vehicles in the family. Sukhoi Superjet 100.

Interesting facts about "Sukhoi Superjet 100"

It took just five years from the first flight to the conclusion of multi-billion dollar deals for the Russian regional jet project SSJ 100 and this was shortly after the collapse of the USSR in conditions of economic recession.

If in the 30s the development Li-2 gave the aviation industry the template-groove method, then on the project SSJ 100 developers have mastered the digital method.

Declared airframe resource SSJ100 is 70-100 thousand flight hours, but in world practice it is only 30 thousand.

Many cars Superjet 100 received their own names in honor of outstanding pilots and cosmonauts.

In April 2010, the Russian Sberbank put into circulation a coin from the “History of Russian Aviation” series, which is dedicated to the aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100.

The result of many years of progress towards the progress of the Russian aircraft industry is the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. This is an achievement of the aviation industry that everyone can rightfully be proud of. Travel lovers now have the opportunity to cover distances on a domestic short-haul airliner. It operates only on relatively close routes, but the developers envisage a flight of more than 4,000 kilometers. Find out more in this article about how the idea of ​​creating a passenger aircraft by the Sukhoi company originated, how many stages of production the aircraft had to go through, how comfortable the flight conditions are, and many other aspects of operation.

What an airliner can do

The modern aircraft product marked a new era of production in Russia. There has been a huge boost in the development of this area thanks to the new product. Sukhoi Superjet 100 has occupied the regional aircraft segment on the global market. It can be described as an economical, environmentally friendly, passenger-friendly and crew-friendly 100-seat aircraft.

The maximum speed of the aircraft can reach 860 km/h. It covers a given distance at an altitude of about 12,000 meters. The flight range this aircraft can handle is from 3000 to 4500 km. It also has two powerful SaM 146 turbofan engines built into it. This model is manufactured to transport a small number of passengers, its standard layout is 98 seats. The prospects for the further distribution of our aircraft to airlines around the world are quite optimistic, since they are competitive and in demand.

Project development history

The prerequisite for creating our own short-haul airliner in Russia arose at the end of the last century. The largest aircraft construction companies, Boeing and Airbus, have occupied the market segment for the creation of ships with a capacity of more than 150 passengers. It was necessary to create a project that would be modern, high-quality, and provide short-haul transport. This was the process of creating the Sukhoi Superjet Su 100-95B aircraft.

In the early 2000s, Brazilian and Canadian airliners appeared in this niche, but Sukhoi still had advantages that qualitatively distinguished it from competitors' products. Analysts came to the conclusion that these companies will not be able to meet airline requests on their own. Demand significantly exceeded supply.

The Russian aircraft industry found itself in a crisis; it only shadowed the past successes of the Soviet Union. The Tupolev and Yak-42 aircraft were once masterpieces of engineering, but at the beginning of the 21st century they ceased to meet European standards. The noise level of these models forced Russian airlines to urgently update their fleet in order to continue active operations and provide air transportation. This restriction was introduced in 2002 by the European Union. Among other things, the high fuel consumption of older aircraft provoked higher costs; against their background, Boeing and Airbus airliners seemed the only option. Intensive purchases of used imported aircraft began.

How are aircraft manufactured in the Russian Federation?

2000 is the official date of foundation of the closed joint-stock company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft. Despite the fact that initially this company was engaged in the creation of only military aircraft, in a market economy it became expedient to expand production. The initial name of the development of the passenger aircraft was Russian Regional Jet. A step towards the evolution of aircraft manufacturing in Russia was that the State Air Force decided to involve foreign ideas, developments and significant details in the process of creating its flagship. The Boeing company began consulting on the project.

In 2003, an agreement was concluded with the French companies Snecma and PowerJet to jointly create engines for the future aircraft with NPO Saturn. Development took longer than expected, and tests planned for 2005 were postponed indefinitely. But already in the same 2005, OJSC Financial Leasing Company made a pre-order for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft in the amount of 10 aircraft, and Aeroflot - for as many as 30.

The state was also actively involved in financing the project. It was part of the federal target program "Development of civil aviation equipment in Russia for 2002-2010 and for the period until 2015." These investments amounted to about 8 billion rubles. Thanks to these funds, the assembly of the airliner began in Komsomolsk-on-Amur at the aircraft plant named after. Yu. Gagarin (KnAAPO).

Flight characteristics of the aircraft

Sukhoi Superjet 100-95 with basic configuration can accommodate 98 people. Passenger capacity varies from 98 to 108 seats. The length of the aircraft reaches 30 meters, and the wingspan is 27.8 meters. The maximum possible distance for which it is designed is from 3000 to 4500 kilometers (depending on the model). The speed category of the aircraft is as follows: the cruising speed of the vessel is 830 km/h, and the maximum permissible speed is 860 km/h, which is a high figure. This aircraft is not capable of handling any airport in the Russian Federation; only about 60% meet all the requirements for the runway and functionality.

First flight

The test flight of the Sukhoi Superjet 100-95 was carried out on May 19, 2008. This happened in the city where its main assembly took place - in the sky above Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The test was completed successfully, which allowed for international certification and improvement of the vessel.

Cooperation with Aeroflot

Aeroflot is the largest customer of SSJ 100 aircraft. The prospect of a long-term relationship was laid down in 2005 during the signing of a lease. The first use of the Sukhoi Superjet 100-95LR by Aeroflot occurred on June 16, 2011. The flight took place from Moscow airport to St. Petersburg.

As for the design features of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft for Aeroflot, the photo reflects the company logo.

The company receives cars at a much lower cost than other partners. Therefore, Aeroflot also faces considerable risks when putting domestic aircraft into operation. Thus, at the initial stages, their cooperation turned out to be unprofitable for Sukhoi Civil Aircraft. The first ten were purchased at a price below the catalog price - 19 million dollars versus 24. Their further activities have already moved to the stage of production recoupment.

Sukhoi Superjet 100: interior

The number of seats and variations in their location in the airliner differ depending on the model. Thus, the Sukhoi Superjet SU 100-95 aircraft has two main cabin modifications - AA and AF. But both models are divided into classes according to comfort - “business” and “economy”.

The first rows of seats from 1st to 3rd are business class seats. Seats marked A, C, D, F are considered the least comfortable due to the separation of the passenger area from the toilet. There is less space in front of them thanks to this partition. Overall, business class offers better seats, accommodations and food.

All other rows have more economical conditions. In the 6th row, seats A, C, D, E, F can be given special attention, since they are located closer to the nose of the aircraft, where the restroom is located, and have a large space in front.

Fundamentally, the equipment of the models differs in the very last, 20th row. In the AA version, the rear seats do not recline, which will create additional discomfort for the passenger. Also, the proximity to the bathroom causes other passengers to often walk past these places, and perhaps even the formation of a small queue. And in the AF model, the developers took care of improving the conditions. The distance to the restrooms has been increased, and the seat can be reclined, but these are still not the best seats on the plane.

Choosing the best place

On the website of the manufacturer of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 airliner, the best seats are clearly demonstrated on the cabin plan. How to choose the best place to fly? It is located in business class, but this ticket costs more. Therefore, to make traveling with savings as comfortable as possible, follow these principles:

1. Check out the passenger compartment diagram.
2. If you are not sure which aircraft configuration you will fly on, then choose row 20 only if there are no other seats at all.
3. You should avoid places at the rear of the car, as this is where turbulence is felt most strongly.
4. It is better to choose a seat away from the restroom and technical rooms, as unpleasant sounds or smells may haunt you there.
5. It is important that the seat backs are fully reclined without creating barriers to healthy sleep while traveling.
6. If you have difficulties making your own choice, qualified airline employees will be able to help you book a seat.

Company achievements

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft was presented in 2007. However, there was a delay in deliveries due to difficulties in the production process. The creation of the vessels took longer than planned. Despite this, it was planned to increase the production rate to 6 aircraft per month. In 2010, the number of finished products was 50 units. In 2011, production was less than expected - 2-3 aircraft per month. Delivery delays provoked an outflow of customers, but the main customers still continued to work closely with the company.

The first important document for the company was received in 2010 - the IAC certificate, and in 2012 even the EASA certificate. This allowed us to confidently enter the market of short-haul airliners in accordance with European quality standards. So, the production of the airliner is characterized by high technology and the introduction of the latest developments. The number of foreign components for it has decreased from 80% to 50%, and this is a huge success.

Criticism of the project

As many critics believed, at the initial stage the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft project won the state tender for a reason. It was competing with the Tu-334, which, in their opinion, was better suited to the poor conditions at Russian airports. In the Tupolev, the engines are located at the tail of the ship, while in the SSJ they are installed very low - under the wings of the liner. Flying a Tupolev aircraft is also more familiar to Russian crews. However, the GSS project received funding, and this contributed to its successful implementation.

Also, some argue that the SSJ is similar in appearance to the German Fairchild aircraft. This is speculation; the designers themselves completely denied this connection.

Sukhoi Superjet 100: reviews from pilots and passengers

Pilots and passengers give the airliner a high rating. In terms of control, the ship is simple and obedient, has a high rate of climb, as the pilots themselves note. And travelers on the Sukhoi Superjet 100 enjoy comfortable seats, wide aisles and distances between seats, and spacious luggage racks. For airlines, the aircraft is beneficial in terms of fuel consumption.

The new short-haul aircraft, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 model, was manufactured in the Russian Federation by Sukhoi with the support of foreign companies. This machine is designed specifically for transporting passengers. For this purpose, two modifications were created, which differ in the number of seats for passengers. One device is capable of carrying 75 passengers, and the second – 95. In addition, there are models that are designed for longer flights.

The design of the aircraft for short and medium range flights began in 2000; during its development it was called a regional aircraft for Russia.

Brief chronology of the creation of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft

In the spring of 2003, a project under the working name RRJ (No. 97 002) won the aircraft design competition. In 2006, we began assembling a prototype of this device. The machine was assembled at KnAAPO, and a year later this project was delivered to the city of Zhukovsky for further testing at the TsAGI bureau. The product was transported to this city using a Ruslan aircraft.

The first prototype of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft was presented in September 2007. For the first time, this aircraft model lifted off the runway a year after its presentation, namely in May 2008. But before the first flight, the designers spent a lot of time checking all the main systems of the machine.

By the end of 2008, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft completed factory tests, and the state certification process began with the participation of an international commission. Resource studies of the aircraft took place at the Siberian Research Institute. The second aircraft was completely ready by December 2008; during testing, this aircraft showed excellent flight characteristics.

This device was presented to the general public at the air exhibition in Le Bourget in the summer of 2009. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 model aircraft, fully equipped with all systems and with a fully equipped passenger cabin, made its first flight only in the summer of 2009.

Aircraft Features

The creation of this aircraft took place in close partnership with foreign aviation companies. The main consultant on the creation of the Superjet was the world-famous Boeing corporation. More than 30 companies were involved in the manufacture of this aircraft, supplying components for the aircraft.

The aircraft is equipped with a high-quality remote control system, which was provided by Liebherr Aerospase. The vehicle's onboard equipment was provided by Thales Corporation. Even all the passenger compartment components were developed and provided by Aerospase. In addition to all this, systems such as the chassis, hydraulic system, fuel system, brakes, and power supply were also provided by foreign companies. All this made it possible to equip the new aircraft with the most modern digital control systems, which helped achieve high results.

The aircraft has a classic low-wing design, which is equipped with two new generation turbojet engines. The tail of the vehicle has a swept-back shape with a single-fin design. The power plant is represented by two SaM146 type engines, which are attached to the pylons of the aircraft’s wings. The remote control system equipped with this aircraft can automatically control the ship. In addition, it is possible to remotely release the chassis and control the braking system. The control system is so high quality and safe that it made it possible to completely remove the mechanical control of the device. Using this system, you can control stabilizers.

For the first time, an aircraft created at the Sukhoi design bureau is equipped with a system that protects the aircraft from touching the runway with its tail during landing or takeoff, even in the event of a pilot error. The on-board system performs a complete analysis of all aircraft systems and notifies pilots of even the slightest malfunction.

As for avionics, there were also innovations and innovations. It is equipped with a triple high-quality UVK communication system. It protects the car from mid-air collisions with other aircraft. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft is equipped with a system that allows landing with minimal pilot participation and belongs to ICAO category IIIA. As for the uniqueness between other aircraft of the Sukhoi design bureau, it should be noted that the Sukhoi Superjet 100 model aircraft is 95% unique and has almost nothing in common with previous OKB models.

At the beginning of 2015, 88 Sukhoi Superjet type aircraft were manufactured. Among them were 8 prototypes, and 56 of them were transferred to customers.

As for commercial operation, it began in 2011 with the first flight from Yerevan to Moscow. This flight was carried out by an Armenian company that purchased this airliner. Aeroflot also uses it; it has purchased 10 cars. But these cars are supplied at a discount, since Aeroflot supposedly shares the operating risk with the manufacturers. In addition, this Sukhoi Design Bureau vehicle is used in Yakutia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico and other regions of the globe.

In addition to numerous advantages, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft also has disadvantages. The standard vehicle is designed for a take-off weight of 49.5 tons. But most sales are focused on the model, which seats 95 and has a takeoff weight of 45.9 tons. This model had to be improved and the structure of the machine had to be strengthened, which led to an increase in weight, and as a result, to high fuel consumption during flight.

Despite everything, this aircraft is truly a breakthrough in the domestic aircraft industry and will be able to bring our aviation industry to world markets.

Sukhoi Superjet 100-95 (abbreviated certification name for the RRJ family of aircraft - SSJ 100, ICAO designation: SU95) is a short-haul Russian passenger aircraft, which was developed by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft in conjunction with a number of foreign companies.
