Status of the program
Nowadays, the first flying prototype of Su-35 is undergoing ground tests. Its
first flight took place on February 19, 2008. Following the first prototype, now on the

SUKHOI SUPERJET 100
Рис. 9. Sukhoi Superjet 100
Sukhoi Superjet 100 aeroplane family is being developed based on the
principle of maximum standardization of frame assemblies and systems, viz.: wings,
fins, chassis, engine unit, crew cabin, basic aeroplane systems and component parts.
The standardization of the design will make it possible to improve the
economic performance of the aeroplane family operation with expenditures kept at a
rational level.
The aerodynamics and design of the aeroplanes of the family are based on
proven advanced technology to minimise technical risks at the stage of design, testing
and operation.
To broaden the customer base among airlines, each of the 2 standard sizes of
the aeroplanes of the family (for 75 and 95 seats)has a basic and a LR modification
designed for use on a network of various-length routes to make it possible for airlines
to improve the economic performance of their operations through a more balanced
composition of their fleets based on the route structure and passenger flows.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 aeroplane family conforms to current and long-range
requirements of Russian and global market in commercial aeroplanes. The design
meets the specific requirements of airlines in Russia, the CIS, and western countries,
and conforms to the Aviation Rules AP-25, FAR-25, JAR-25 requirements.
