SuperJet with Russian-made engine PD-8 to perform first flight early 2023

Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to launch the maiden flight of a domestically produced passenger plane Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) equipped with a Russian-made PD-8 engine early next year, UAC Director General Yury Slyusar said on Friday.

"The first flight [will be launched in] the first quarter of next year... in 2023 there will be rigorous testing of the Superjet aircraft with the new PD-8 engine," Slyusar told Rossiya 24 broadcaster.

Slyusar noted that the new engine is expected to be supplied by the end of the year for installation and preparation for the first flight.
