The Sukhoi Superjet 100 has successfully completed the certification on-ground strength testing programme in the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI).
The programme, comprising 58 test cases, subjected all the main aircraft parts including fuselage, wing, vertical and horizontal stabilisers, lift devices, landing gear attachment points to extensive on-ground strength testing.
The parts have been exposed to different loads up to 150% more than the normal operating conditions and all aircraft components performed at the expected level, according to Sukhoi.
SCAC president Vladimir Prisyazhnyuk said the results obtained by the on-ground strength testing allowed the company to successfully test the aircraft strength performance in flight.
“The aircraft was confirmed to maintain the required structural integrity,” he said.
“The prototypes have already accumulated 842 flights in 2,072 hours.”
