The latest version of the Russian regional jet Superjet 100, equipped exclusively with domestically produced components, has arrived at the M.M. Gromov Flight Research Institute airfield in Zhukovsky to begin flight certification testing.
The experimental prototype, numbered 97003 and named in honor of Yuri Ivashechkin, the first chief designer of the SSJ-100, completed a long-distance transfer flight from Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The journey, covering approximately 6,000 kilometers, included technical stops at the airports of Irkutsk and Novosibirsk.
