The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 100) is a modern, fly-by-wire regional jet in the 75- to 95-seat category. With development starting in 2000, the plane was designed by the civil aircraft division of the Russian aerospace company Sukhoi in co-operation with Western partners. Its maiden flight was conducted on 19 May 2008 and the plane received its Interstate Aviation Committee certification in January 2011 with European Aviation Safety Agency certification expected in mid-2011. On 21 April 2011, the Superjet 100 performed its first commercial passenger flight, on the Armavia route from Yerevan to Moscow.
Designed to compete internationally with its Embraer and Bombardier counterparts, the Superjet 100 aims for substantially lower operating costs at the price of $23–$25 million. With over 200 orders secured by early 2011, the Superjet 100 is widely regarded as the most important project of the Russian civilian aircraft industry and the project receives substantial support from the Russian government.
The final assembly of the plane is done by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association, its SaM-146 engines are designed and produced by the French-Russian PowerJet joint-venture and the plane is marketed internationally by SuperJet International.
Design
Requirements
In the Russian domestic market, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ) is intended to replace the aging Tupolev Tu-134 and Yakovlev Yak-42 planes.[3] Internationally, the new plane will compete against the Embraer E-Jets and the Bombardier CRJ programs. The SSJ aims for lower operating costs than its competitors for the price of $23–25 million.[4] According to Sukhoi, ongoing certification tests are confirming that the aircraft's direct operating costs are 6–8% lower than those of its key competitor, the Embraer 190/195.[5] In terms of total fuel burn per sector, the SSJ is on par with the Antonov An-148 but can accommodate 22 more passengers.[5]
The plane's design meets the specific requirements of airlines in Russia, the CIS, the USA and the EU, and conforms to the Aviation Rules AP-25, FAR-25, JAR-25 requirements and to the ground noise level requirements under ICAO Chapter 4 and FAR 36 Section 4 standards entering into force during 2006. From the beginning, the SSJ has been designed to meet all Western aviation standards.[6]
The Superjet uses PowerJet SaM146 turbofan engines developed by PowerJet that provide 62 to 77.8 kilonewtons (13,900 to 17,500 lbf) of thrust[citation needed]. The noise and emissions levels satisfy the existing ICAO requirements.
Industry participation
The Superjet 100 has been described as the most important and successful civil aircraft program of the Russian aerospace industry.[7] It enjoys considerable support from the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, which regards it as a top priority project.[8] Excluding the SaM146 engine, development of the plane cost about $1.4 billion, with 25% of this amount funded from the federal budget.[9] The Superjet 100 is the first new civil aircraft developed in post-Soviet Russia.[10]
Over 30 foreign partnership companies are involved in the project. Development, manufacturing and marketing of the aircraft's SaM146 jet engine is being done by the PowerJet company, a joint-venture between the French Snecma and Russia's NPO Saturn. SuperJet International, a joint venture between Alenia Aeronautica and Sukhoi is responsible for marketing in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Japan and Oceania.[7]
The assembly line for all versions of the Superjet is located in the facilities of Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO) in the Russian Far East, while Novosibirsk Aircraft Production Association (NAPO) focuses on component production. The two companies have been heavily investing in upgrading of their facilities and are expected to produce 70 airframes by 2012.[7]

Development history and schedule
Early development
Development of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 began in 2000.[13] On 19 December 2002, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and the American company Boeing signed a Long-term Cooperation Agreement to work together on the plane. Boeing consultants had already been advising Sukhoi on marketing, design, certification, manufacturing, program management and aftersales support for a year.[14] On 10 October 2003, the technical board of the project selected the suppliers of major subsystems.[15] The project officially passed its third stage of development on 12 March 2004, meaning that Sukhoi could now start selling the plane to customers.[16] On 13 November 2004, the Superjet 100 passed the fourth stage of development, implying that the plane was now ready for commencing of prototype production.[17] In August 2005, a contract between the Russian government and Sukhoi was signed. Under the agreement, the Superjet 100 project would receive 7.9 billion rubles of research and development financing under the Federal Program titled Development of Civil Aviation in Russia in 2005-2009.[18]
Maiden flight
On 28 January 2007, the first SSJ was transported by an Antonov 124 from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the city of Zhukovsky near Moscow for ground tests at Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute.[citation needed] A representative of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft announced on 13 November 2007, the completion of static tests necessary for conducting the first flight.[citation needed]
In the middle of February 2008, the SaM146 initial engine runs went successfully, gearing up for the maiden flight, which was conducted at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association on 19 May 2008.[19] The engine test followed a test on an Ilyushin Il-76, a testbed aircraft for the Gromov Flight Research Institute. It was expected to be certified and flying by November.[20]
The jet was unveiled at its official rollout at Komsomolsk-on-Amur Dzemgi Airport on 26 September 2007.[21] The first test flight took place on 19 May 2008 also at the Dzemgi airport.[22] The first Superjet spent 1 hour, 5 minutes in the air, and reached an altitude of 1,200 meters.
The deliveries were first scheduled to begin in late 2008, and Sukhoi predicted that 163 units of all variations of the Superjet 100 would be delivered by the end of 2016.[23] On 7 July 2008, Sukhoi officially confirmed that the original schedule was too optimistic, and first deliveries would begin in December 2009.[24][25]
Test programme
On July 2008, testing continued successfully.[26] By October 2008, the first stage of Sukhoi Superjet 100's factory-based flight testing program was successfully completed. The second SSJ100 prototype had also been flown and the certification process was started.[27] In December 2008, the second of four SSJ100 prototypes SN95003 took to the skies.[28] The aircraft performed standard stability and handling quality tests as well as systems checks in accordance with the first flight assignment. Flight test engineers and pilots were pleased with the overall performance of the second prototype.[29]
As of January 2009, the first two aircraft had completed over 90 flights, totaling 300 hours, engines have accumulated around 2,300 hours in flight and ground tests.[30] On 1 April 2009, two Superjet 100 prototypes, 95001 and 95003, successfully completed the first long-distance flight for this aircraft, covering a distance of 3,000 kilometers from Novosibirsk to Moscow.[31] On 17 April 2009, EASA pilots performed the first proving flights on the two prototypes. According to EASA pilot feedback, the aircraft was easy to fly.[32] On 26 July 2009, the third of four SSJ100 prototypes (SN95004) flew.[33]
At the Paris Air Show 2009, Malev Hungarian Airlines said that it would purchase 30 Superjets worth $1 billion, providing a welcome boost to the aircraft as it made its international debut at the 2009 Paris Air Show.[34]
As of June 2009, 13 aircraft were under construction with the first four scheduled to be handed over to clients by the end of 2010. After 2012, the company will build 70 Superjets per year.[34] Armenian Armavia will receive the first two aircraft, followed by Aeroflot, which has ordered a total of 30 aircraft with an option for 15 more. Other customers include Russia's Avialeasing company, Swiss Ama Asset Management Advisor and Indonesian Kartika Airlines.[34]
On 29 December 2009, United Aircraft Corporation head Alexei Fyodorov said that deliveries of the Superjet 100 have been indefinitely delayed because the engines are not ready.[35] On 4 February 2010, the fourth prototype SSJ flew. Owing to delays in production of the engines, including quality problems at the NPO Saturn factory, it used the engines removed from the first prototype.[36] On 28 May 2010, all engine tests necessary for certification are completed. The final trial was a simulation of an encounter with a flock of birds.[37]
Flight management system (FMS) tests were completed on 19 November 2010. The FMS CMA-9000 was developed by Canada's Esterline CMC Electronics for the Thales avionics suite.[38]
Certification
On 6 July 2010, Deputy Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov, who heads the commission to monitor the implementation of the Sukhoi Superjet program, wrote to Industry and Trade Minister Viktor Khristenko about the progress of the aircraft's certification in early June. Data from 28 May showed that the certification process was getting behind schedule with most of the problems related to the SaM146 engine, developed by PowerJet, which is a joint project between the Russian Saturn and the French Snecma. Work on its final design had been almost completed and certification was more than 90 percent completed, but problems remain, noted Manturov.[39]
In September 2010, the CEO of SuperJet International said that certification was expected in November 2010.[40] In October 2010, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SN95004) passed noise testing carried out under the auspices of Russian and European certification authorities (AR IAC and EASA respectively).[41] On 4 November 2010, the first production Superjet (SN95007) intended for Armavia was test flown.[42]
By November 2010, the SSJ test fleet had flown 2,245 hours during 948 flights.[43]
On 21 December 2010, Superjet 100 passed emergency evacuation and interrupted takeoff tests at Ramenskoye Airport near Zhukovsky, near Moscow, under the supervision of the Interstate Aviation Committee Aviation Register (AR IAC) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The first test required 98 volunteers of different age groups and five crew members to evacuate the aircraft in 90 seconds during an emergency landing. They made it in 73 seconds. The interrupted takeoff test probed the wheels, tires and brakes at maximum possible braking speed. In full compliance with the certification requirements, the test was performed without a thrust reverser. The aircraft loaded to its maximum takeoff weight (45,880 kg) performed emergency braking at a speed of over 300 km/h and came to a stop after running 700 meters, within the required parameters.[44]
On 3 February 2011, the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC IR) granted a Type Certificate for Sukhoi Superjet 100. EASA Certificate is expected to follow later in 2011.[45] The Type Certificate confirms compliance of the SSJ100 with the airworthiness regulations and it authorizes the commercial operation of the airplane.
Operational history
The first commercial production Sukhoi Superjet was delivered to Armavia 19 April 2011. The handover ceremony was held at Zvartnots International Airport in Yerevan on the same day.[46] The aircraft received the name "Yuri Gagarin" in memory of the first man who reached space and orbited the Earth almost exactly 50 years before.[47]
According to Armavia, in the future its Superjet 100 fleet will make their 1.5-2 hour long flights from Yerevan to Moscow, Sochi, as well as Ukrainian cities,[46] including Odessa and Simferopol. The airline expects to receive their second Superjet 100 in June 2011.[48].
Aeroflot airline has announced its first flight of Sukhoi SuperJet 100 is scheduled for 15 May 2011 from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod.[49]
First commercial flight
On 21 April 2011 the first commercial flight of Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SN 95007) by Armavia airline landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow at 4.45 AM MSK (00.45 GMT), carrying 90 passengers from Zvartnots International Airport, Yerevan.[48][50][51] The flight took about 2 hours and 55 minutes.[48]
Armavia used the Airbus A319 on its Yerevan to Moscow (SVO) route, but is now switching to Superjet 100.[48]
President of United Aircraft Corporation and General Director of Sukhoi Mikhail Pogosyan hailed the event as a key milestone for the Superjet 100 project, saying that it opened "a new stage of the program — the beginning of commercial operation and full-scale serial production."[50]
The aircraft was put into commercial operation within unprecedentedly short time after delivery. For the first week of service SSJ-100 has accumulated 24 flights, flying to Moscow, Athens, Donetsk, Aleppo, Tehran, Tel–Aviv and Astrakhan, scoring approx. 50 flight hours. On May 1 Superjet made first regular flight to Venice (2800 km, aprox 3:45 minute flight)[52]
