PowerJet’s SaM146 engine has successfully received Interstate Aviation Committee Aviation Register (IAC AR) type certification.
With the IAC AR type certificate, the SaM146, the company’s first engine jointly designed and produced in France and Russia, is now certified for service in Russia on regional jet aircraft.
The engine competed its certification tests in May 2010 by passing the final medium-bird ingestion test.
During the test, the SaM146 logged 7,400 hours including 3,600 hours in flight.
