Breakthrough into the sky: the first flight of the SJ-100 with PD-8 and the future of the MS-21

An important turning point has been outlined in the world of civil aviation: Russia is making confident steps towards full import substitution of its airliners. A video on the YouTube channel "AeroPortal" is dedicated to the fateful news about two key aircraft - the MS-21 and the SJ-100. It becomes clear: the first flight of the Superjet with domestic PD-8 engines is not just an event, but a symbol of a new chapter in the aviation industry. Meanwhile, 11 new aircraft have already been assembled in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, and dozens more are on the way. Aircraft are preparing for certification, and if everything goes according to plan, then serial production of the MS-2026 and SJ-21 will begin in 100.

Particular emphasis is placed on technical testing: the scope of checks exceeds international standards, which underlines the seriousness of the approach. The first MS-21 with PD-14 engines has already been assembled, and its certification flights are planned for the summer. The I-114 and the second experimental Superjet are also being actively tested. But behind all these figures lies the main thing: Russian aviation is ready for full-scale import substitution. Watch the video – don’t miss the opportunity to delve into the details and be the first to know when exactly we will be able to fly our own aircraft again.
