Specialists of the Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI, a member of the National Research Center “Zhukovsky Institute”) completed one more stage of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 airframe endurance tests by undertaking 24 000 flight cycles. The aircraft was tested under multiple loads corresponding to all flight modes: takeoff and landing, cruise and ground.

The RRJ-95LR-100 model structure was the object of the tests. It is an extended-range version of up to 4578 km. According to the specialists of the Institute, the tests confirmed the initial reliability of the aircraft structure.

It is planned to simulate 162 000 flight cycles to prove a design life of 54 000 flights for the main load-carrying structure of the RRJ aircraft. The work was started in 2015 and will last for several more years.

Cooperation between Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and TsAGI within the framework of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Project has been ongoing since 2001.

During this time, Institute specialists implemented a wide range of studies of aerodynamics, strength and control systems for the domestic aircraft.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
