Rostec expects to complete SJ-100 flight trials by fall

Russian Aviaton » Friday June 5, 2026 15:22 MSK

Rostec State Corporation expects to complete the flight test program of the import-substituted SJ-100 passenger jet by the fall of this year, CEO Sergey Chemezov told reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

"Obtaining a type certificate for the PD-8 engine means that we have come close to certification of the Superjet-100 aircraft. We expect that the airliner will complete the flight test program by the fall," he said.

Large-scale production of the aircraft is planned from next year, Chemezov noted. To date, the SJ-100 has already performed over 180 flights - more than 80% of those required for certification. At the moment, 42 aircraft of this type have been contracted, the Rostec CEO added.

  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.
