SSJ100 aircraft with saber endings completed flight tests
- says the KLA message.
SSJ100 was tested for take-off and landing performance, stability and controllability, flight control systems were tested, equipment responsible for external lighting and vertical navigation was tested. At the same time, the planes were subjected to heavy loads, developing high speeds and reaching critical angles.
At the same time, fuel consumption was monitored throughout the flight. However, its consumption is just an indicator of the effectiveness of the use of “saber”: as the developers (JSC “Sukhoi” and TsAGI) indicated, the endings significantly increase the economy of the flight along with an increase in aerodynamic characteristics and carrying capacity. As expected, kerosene consumption will decrease by no less than 4%.
As a result, each machine will bring 10 million rubles to operators. annual savings. At the request of the customer, it is possible to equip the tip of the old type of machine.
As planned, after the certification procedure is completed, the first SSJ100 with the sabers attached to it will be transferred to operation, which is expected before the end of this year.
