Makes 1st Appearance in Italy, And Will Be Involved In Several
Tests
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 landed in Italy for the first time
Wednesday at Torino Caselle Airport, where it will continue
its flight certification program .
The aircraft was flown from Moscow by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft's
test pilots Yablontsev Alexander, Korostiev Sergey, Shvetsov Oleg
and Gryukanov Maksim. The third prototype SN 950004 will be
involved in several tests, including noise and high intensity
radiated field tests to be conducted in Caselle and Levaldigi
airports.
Under the certification campaign the prototype will be subjected
to an evaluation of the Electro Magnetic Compatibility requirements
for civil aircraft with regard to the ability of operating safely
in the man-made electromagnetic environment. The community noise
tests are required to verify the compliance with aircraft noise
certification regulations by measuring the airplane noise.
Sukhoi says the SSJ100 certification campaign is going well. So
far, the program has accumulated over 2011 flying hours in 814
flights, which is about 70% of the overall certification
program. The SSJ100 has successfully passed a series of
testing in extreme weather conditions (Yakutsk, Arkhangelsk) and
high elevation program in Gmuri (Armenia), which Sukhoi says
confirms that no additional changes to the airplane in basic
configuration are required.
There are currently 18 SSJ100 aircraft in production, 6 of
which are in final assembly.
