Rostec State Corporation is on track to finalize the flight test program for its SJ-100 passenger jet by fall 2023, as stated by CEO Sergey Chemezov during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The successful certification of the PD-8 engine is a significant milestone, bringing the Superjet-100 closer to completion. The SJ-100, a short-haul narrow-body aircraft designed to accommodate 100 passengers, has already completed over 180 flights, surpassing 80% of the necessary tests for certification. Currently, 42 aircraft of this model have been contracted, indicating strong market interest. The SJ-100 is equipped with domestically produced systems and engines, aligning with Russia's import substitution strategy. Rostec plans to initiate large-scale production of the aircraft next year, marking a significant step in the country's aviation sector. The SPIEF, taking place from June 3-6, emphasizes the need for a new model of global development amid economic transformations.
