Superjet 100 cockpit detailed poster. Autopilot off button

1. This machine with manufacturer serial number 95025 is preparing for its third test flight. On May 31, the plane was handed over to the customer - Aeroflot airline. Peeking out from behind it is a car with the number 95028. It made its first flight on March 24 and will soon depart for the Mexican airline Interjet.

2. Initially, the Superjet cabin was designed with control columns, but after several meetings with representatives of airlines (and not only from Russia), the control wheel was replaced with a side handle at the design stage. When talking with test pilots during the press tour, some said that the helm on the Dreamliner 787 is already last century and Boeing will have to make its next aircraft with a side stick.

3. The cockpit is completely English-language (even the documentation for the aircraft is now in English). English language). There is no Russian version and there never will be. And why? English has become the standard in aviation. I saw the cockpit of the Tu-204, from the number of Russian abbreviations, known only to the designers, my brain howled and collapsed. I don’t argue, it’s a matter of habit, but why reinvent the wheel if there are already proven standards.

4. On the left screen, where Thales is written, and which is still covered with a protective film, you can display anything you want - pictures from cameras, documentation, diagrams, maps, etc. There is a regular Windows there. It’s true that it’s not so easy to upload anything there. Despite the USB connector, you can insert a flash drive, but the system will not see it - authorization is required. And, of course, this is a separate system that has nothing to do with aircraft control

5. The cabin was designed by two departments of the GSS - the cabin crew assembled the consoles, and the avionics department developed the display. Test pilots made a huge contribution to the ideology of the cockpit and display.

6. Thank you kukuksumushu for my photo. By the way, all the lighting in the cabin is LED, with the exception of the magnetic compass - it has internal illumination with incandescent lamps.

7. Equipping the cabin for the duration of factory testing and flight. Parachutes (tests, after all) and chairs with additional loads that “sit” in them. They provide the necessary alignment of the aircraft.

8. Rear sealed frame. On the right, near the door, there is an emergency recorder and an online system for transmitting data to the ground about the condition of the aircraft.

9. As I already said, the plane leaves the factory exactly like this. The installation of the interior is carried out either in Ulyanovsk or in Venice.

10. The windows of the new plane are very clean!

11. Aviation is very conservative and any innovations are difficult. There are many reasons, I won’t go into details. This applies to both complex new systems and a simple indicator. For example, installing a front toilet occupancy light on the overhead head (the idea was introduced by Yablontsev) required a long battle with the interior and remote designers to link them with each other. We did it.

12. The SSJ100 engine has a bypass ratio of 0.53 - 0.93 (this depends on the engine model) lower than the CFM-56, which is found on the B737 and A320. At the same time, if we compare the SSJ100 engine with Soviet-made engines - the D-30 and its modifications, which were installed on the Tu-134, Tu-154 and Il-76, then the Superjet has a by-pass ration of 3.17 more. The bypass ratio has a positive effect on specific fuel consumption and a negative effect on speed characteristics, i.e. As the flight Mach number increases, the engine with a lower bypass ratio begins to win. But to obtain this gain, the difference in degrees must be small (the D-30 will never win over the CFM-56), and the engine must also have a good margin in the temperature of the gases behind the turbine. Due to the fact that the SaM-146 is better in both of these parameters, today it is the best engine in its thrust class in terms of altitude-speed characteristics, both in terms of thrust and specific consumption.

13. It’s time to roll out our board from the workshop.

14. This is his third flight under the factory test program. Here the airliner learns to fly.

15. In the hangar there is another aircraft for the Mexican Interjet with serial number 95028.

16. But before the first flight it is necessary to pass tests at LIS.

Wallpaper: 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1280x800 | 1366x768 | 1440x900 | 1680x1050 | 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 | 2560x1440 | 2880x1800

17. Then jogging begins with the front leg lifting off. In the process, information is taken from ACMS - aircraft central monitoring system. All information from all on-board systems is collected there, analyzed and provided to the technical crew, with recommendations for eliminating or identifying potential or detected failures. And, if everything is in order, then the board departs for its first flight.

18. Unlike railways, where there is an alert pedal, such systems are not used in aviation, since they always lead to additional workload for the operator. For the driver high speed train this is not scary, because he is actually an observer, the route and speed limit are maintained automatically (I’ll say right away that there is different systems controls, both manual and fully automatic). The plane flies mainly under the control of the crew, even when flying under autopilot. Maintaining the route is the responsibility of the pilot. The air traffic controller only coordinates and directs. The pilot needs state monitoring that does not require additional actions from him. Work on such systems has made the most progress in combat aviation, to determine the moment of pilot incapacity and transition to fully automatic control. For civil aviation The principle of cross-control within the crew still applies.

Wallpaper: 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1280x800 | 1366x768 | 1440x900 | 1680x1050 | 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 | 2560x1440 | 2880x1800

19. To ensure the required level of flight safety, all aircraft systems must meet strict reliability requirements. At the same time, the cost and development time of any system grow almost exponentially depending on the required level of reliability, because Demonstration of compliance is made through an enormous amount of testing over the entire expected field of use. By the way, it is precisely because of these requirements that the cost of aircraft and development time are now many times greater than at the beginning of the jet era. Since collision avoidance systems between aircraft and/or collision with terrain (TCAS, GPWS, T2CAS, TAWS) must be widespread and be able to be installed on aircraft produced earlier, and the basis for eliminating this event was and remains compliance with the prescribed flight plan, then For these systems, the aviation authorities of the ICAO Contracting States, which includes Russia, decided to adopt a level of reliability corresponding to advisory-type systems. This made it possible to create such systems in a reasonable time and at a reasonable cost. But this level of reliability allows for the possibility that false triggering of such a system in flight is not completely ruled out. Therefore, it is possible to turn it off if the crew accurately recognizes the incorrect operation of this system. But if the system is key from the point of view of ensuring flight safety, then manually disabling it is impossible.

Wallpaper: 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1280x800 | 1366x768 | 1440x900 | 1680x1050 | 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 | 2560x1440 | 2880x1800

20. An example of such a system on the SSJ100 is the means of limiting flight limits implemented in the control system. These algorithms meet the highest reliability requirements and cannot be disabled by the crew in flight. Hydraulic system, power supply system, control system, warning and alarm system, aircraft navigation system, etc. all of them cannot be turned off by the crew in flight. By the way, the example of a modern car is quite acceptable. For example, the important ABS system can only be turned off manually by pulling out the fuse; to turn off the power steering or brake system, they must be disassembled, but the ESP auxiliary system can be turned off with a button. Again with a caveat, sometimes it happens that you can’t turn it off completely either.

21. “Low-hanging” engines still cause a lot of battles on these Internets of yours. They say that they will suck up the garbage, stones, snow, water, sand and other things that are lying on the strip. But, for example, Aeroflot, as of October 2012 (no other information could be found to date), has not yet had a single engine removal due to foreign objects. And recently, at the end of 2012, an Addendum to the Aircraft Type Certificate was received regarding the condition of the runway covered with snow (up to 60 mm), slush (up to 13 mm) and wet snow (up to 15 mm).

Wallpaper: 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1280x800 | 1366x768 | 1440x900 | 1680x1050 | 1920x1080 | 1920x1200 | 2560x1440 | 2880x1800

Yes, you can just watch this video - the pool test. For some reason, water doesn’t want to get into the engine.

22. In the class of regional aircraft, the SSJ-100 is the only aircraft today with a fully remote control system without a mechanical reserve. And it’s really not an easy matter to ensure the required level of reliability with such limitations in airframe volume and development cost, because the cost of one Superjet is an order of magnitude less than that of the mainline A380 or B787 airliners. By the way, the development of the SDU for the B787 and A-400M began almost simultaneously with the SDU for the SSJ100, so here we can talk about parity in the level of technology.

25. What’s interesting is that test flights the sides are sent without any side numbers on the fuselage or wings.

26. Like a self-portrait :)

27. Switches in DIRECT MODE were installed only on experimental machines. They were necessary for certification tests. There are no such switches on production machines. A normal flight is carried out with the control system operating in the main NORMAL MODE, without control of its operation by the crew. The reliability of the SDS monitoring algorithms has been established at such a level that any spontaneous movements of the rudders, requiring the crew to disable the SDS manually, are completely excluded, in case of any failure condition or the presence of errors in the software of the SDS computers. Certification tests included a large number of checks, including checks for broken lines feedback drives, jamming, input signal mismatches, short circuits in the cable network of the SDS and software errors in the main circuit, etc.

28. This plane took off for the first time on February 22. After being transferred to Aeroflot, he carries the airborne one - RA-89014.

The open architecture of the avionics complex was designed by THALES based on integrated modular technology. This made it possible to reduce the number of structural units of the complex by approximately 15% and thereby simplify its maintenance. To simplify maintenance of the aircraft as a whole, an on-board maintenance system is provided that is capable of detecting failures down to a structural unit in all major aircraft systems. At the same time, the basic avionics configuration is more functional compared to its closest competitors: it includes a triple VHF communication system with the ACARS function, a second-generation T2CAS collision avoidance system, and the ability to land according to ICAO category IIIA.

Due to the automatic piloting mode of the aircraft, not only additional gains in fuel efficiency are achieved, but also high flight safety, because in this mode, the fully remote flight control system (FCS) is protected from accidental errors. The fail-safe remote control architecture eliminates the need for mechanical redundancy entirely. Rearrangement horizontal stabilizer also carried out electrically. This helped optimize its dimensions for a high degree of controllability. The Superjet 100 is the first to use algorithmic protection against runway tail contact during lift-off, eliminating the need for mechanical shock absorbers found on other aircraft.

SaM146 engines are manufactured by PowerJet, a joint venture between Snecma (France) and NPO Saturn (Russia), taking into account all the requirements of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 family of aircraft. The new modular SaM146 engine combines the successful experience of using CFM56 with the use of modern technologies and a reduction in the number of components by 20%, significantly reducing operating and maintenance costs while achieving unrivaled performance and reliability. The latest third-generation Autonomous Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system with redundancy optimizes flight operations while reducing fuel consumption. The interchangeability of components of the left and right engines allows us to reduce the range of necessary spare parts. It is possible to replace the blades without removing the engine from the wing. Thanks to new technologies embedded in the SaM146 engine, all aircraft in the family exceed current ICAO noise and emissions requirements. Nacelles with high sound absorption and low drag provide increased comfort inside the cabin.

The SSJ100 cockpit is equipped with intuitive controls and an electronic display and alarm system of the latest Thales avionics suite and a fully digital fly-by-wire flight control system. Fully digital fly-by-wire flight control system with side-stick controls optimizes aircraft performance, reduces crew workload, reduces fuel consumption and provides protection against aircraft overrun.

The "dark and quiet cockpit" concept provides superior situational awareness and crew working environment, thanks to an ergonomic cockpit design with five large LCD displays.

The DSUP is based on three upper-level computers (PFCU - Primary Flight Computer Unit) and complementary lower-level computers (ACE - Actuator Control Electronics). PFCUs process cockpit commands to the ACE and optimize aircraft performance in all flight modes. At the same time, at the first serious failure there is no need to switch to direct control, and the flight characteristics remain at a sufficient level of controllability. The high performance technology and weight perfection of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is also achieved by the implementation of a fully fly-by-wire control system for retracting/extending the landing gear and the braking system.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) is a Russian regional passenger 100-seat aircraft developed by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft with the participation of a number of foreign companies.

The first flight of the SSJ100 took place in May 2008, and the 100th aircraft is now in production. Today the aircraft is in service with Russian airlines- Aeroflot, Gazprom Avia, Yakutia, Center-South, Red Wings, in the Mexican airline Interjet and in special units of government agencies.

1. SSJ100 is the first Russian aircraft designed entirely using digital technologies.

Its production uses technologies that have not previously been used in the domestic civil aircraft industry, such as jigless assembly, automatic joining of airframe units, automatic riveting and others.

2. The production of the aircraft and its final assembly are carried out by Komsomolsk-on-Amur ( Khabarovsk region) branch of JSC " Civil aircraft Sukhoi" (KnAF) with the direct participation of other factories in Russia, where components of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 are manufactured.

3. Branch of OJSC “Company “Sukhoi” “NAZ im. V.P. Chkalova" in Novosibirsk produces parts and aggregate assembly of fuselage and tail sections.

4. Cabin frame assembly.

5. Parts and sections are transferred to the Komsomolsk-on-Amur branch of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft CJSC, where the final assembly of the aircraft is carried out.

6. Fuselage Assembly Shop (FAS). Here, ready-made compartments are joined at an automatic docking stand and fasteners are installed at the joints of the compartments.

7. The fuselage assembly shop consists of four production areas.

8. Docking of compartments.

9. More than 600 thousand rivets, nuts, bolts, pins and other small parts are used in the production of the SSJ100 aircraft.

10. Here the floor frame is installed, passenger doors, service doors and luggage compartment doors are installed.

11. At the same stage, the passenger compartment glass and fuselage antennas are installed.

12. The thermal insulation layers of the passenger compartment are being installed.

13. All work has at least three levels of control and verification.

14. After the fuselage assembly shop, the aircraft is moved to the final assembly shop (FAS).

There are 7 production sites here. Today, the plant's production capacity allows it to produce up to 50 cars per year.

15. In this workshop, the aircraft's tail is installed, the wings are joined to the fuselage, the landing gear is mounted, the engines are installed, the operability of the aircraft's systems is checked, and numerous other operations are performed.

16. The wing mechanization, rudders, elevators, and other parts are made of composite materials. The aluminum parts of the fuselage are coated with a yellow-green primer, and the parts made of composite materials are white.

17. As part of the project, a comprehensive program of technical re-equipment of plants in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Novosibirsk was carried out.

18. Average age The company's employees are 35 years old.

19. The DSC checks the functioning of the landing gear and prepares the aircraft for powering up.

20. The final seventh production site. Here they carry out the final installation of the interior of the luggage and cargo compartment, the interior of the cockpit, conduct a general technical inspection of the aircraft and prepare for its transfer to the flight test station.

21. Testing of live systems.

22. The aircraft is being handed over for flight testing. As a rule, the flight program of each new aircraft consists of eight flights, during which systems are tested in the air.

23. From Komsomolsk, the SSJ100 flies to Ulyanovsk for installation of the interior and painting in the colors of the customer airline, and then to Zhukovsky to the Delivery Center.

24. Aviation technical base and flight test complex (FTC) of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (SCAC).

25. The GSS hangar in Zhukovsky can accommodate 8 aircraft at a time.

28.

29. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 is equipped with two SaM146 turbofan engines manufactured by PowerJet, a joint venture between Snecma and NPO Saturn. SaM146 was specially designed for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 type aircraft.

The thrust class of the engine SaM146-1S17 (Basic version) is 17,300 lbs, SaM146-1S18 (Long Range version) is 17,800 lbs.

30. Particular attention is paid to the maintainability of the engine; for example, it is possible to replace the blades without removing the engine from the wing.

31. Although the aircraft is considered a short-haul aircraft, the Long Range version (SSJ100 LR) can fly over 4,000 km.

32. The SSJ100's maximum cruising speed of Mach 0.81 (860 km/h) allows it to fly at the same flight levels as most common types short-haul aircraft: Boeing 737 and Airbus 320, thereby optimizing not only fuel costs, but also flight time.

33. SuperJet International (SJI) is involved in training customer flight and engineering personnel for the SSJ100 aircraft.
Two training centers were created: in Zhukovsky (Moscow region, Russia) and in Venice (Italy).
Aviation personnel training centers provide a full cycle of training for flight and engineering personnel of SSJ100 aircraft customers. They are equipped with the most modern teaching and training equipment.

To date, SJI has successfully trained nearly 500 pilots, more than 200 flight attendants and more than 1,700 maintenance technicians.

34. Cockpit. The avionics are manufactured by the French company Thales, which also makes them for Airbus.

35. The application of the Human Centered Design concept has made it possible to optimize the placement of control levers and instrumentation in such a way that the flight can be completed by one pilot even in the event of emergency situation.

36. All inscriptions are completely in English.

37. Control is carried out by a side handle; steering columns were abandoned at an early stage of design as an outdated and unpromising technology. As a result, the SSJ100 became the first Russian serial civil aircraft with a sidestick.

38. The maximum passenger capacity of the aircraft is 103 seats.

39. The cabin height in the aisle is 2.12 m, which allows tall passengers to stand at their full height in the cabin.

40. The layout of passenger seats is “3+2”. Seat “B” is missing on board the Superjet

The usual names for seats for flight attendants working on aircraft such as the A320 and B737, where the passenger cabin configuration was ABC+DEF, were: A - seat near the window, B - seat in the middle, C - seat near the aisle. Thus, it was decided that place B should be excluded, leaving the usual name and location: A – place near the window, C – place near the aisle and on the other side everything unchanged - DEF.

41. Increased living space for every passenger: the large seat pitch in the basic configuration of the SSJ100 aircraft (81.28 cm) allows even tall passengers to feel comfortable in the seat.

43. "Past and present". SSJ100 Against the background of the legendary Tu-144

44. Today, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 route network covers more than 130 cities around the world. Sukhoi Superjet 100 has confirmed its successful operation in a wide range of climatic conditions - at temperatures from -54°C to +45°C: in the Central and Southern parts of Russia, the Far North, Indonesia, Laos and Mexico.

45. In May of this year, the total operating hours of commercial flight hours of Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft in airlines amounted to more than 100 thousand since the start of operation in April 2011.

46. It is expected that an Addendum to the Type Certificate will be received in the near future, expanding the operating conditions of the SSJ100 to +50 degrees. All tests have already been carried out and the paperwork period is now underway. In addition, taking into account the needs of potential customers, the company plans to expand the conditions for the altitude of home airfields - 3300 meters above sea level.

47. Some changes will be made to the airframe design. For example, the SSJ100 will receive new wingtips designed to optimize the aircraft's performance and reduce overall fuel consumption by 3% to 4%.

I thank the press service of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft CJSC, as well as company employees from LIK/ATK Zhukovsky and KnAF for their help in organizing the photography!

The pride of the Russian aviation industry, an innovative development on which the government has big plans - all this is about the model of the modern Sukhoi Suprejet-100 aircraft.

Despite the fact that the model has a number of shortcomings, it is the next step in the development of domestic passenger transportation over short distances.
Subject to responsible development and modifications, it has every reason to receive the title of best in its class.

History of creation

Work began on creating a prototype of the first Superjet after the PRJ project won the competition for a development license.

In February 2006 the company began assembling the first SSJ model, and exactly 1 year later the model was delivered from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the Zhukovsky test site for the purpose of presentation and conducting a static control test.

The first performance test was carried out in February 2008 power plant, its compatibility with other systems. After another 2 months, the Sukhoi Superjet-100 was tested on the runway.

The model passed the movement and steering tests successfully.

This fall, the SSJ-100 underwent certification testing at the Interstate Aviation Committee and passed endurance tests.

On December 24, 2008, under the control of test pilot L. Chikunov and N. Pushenko, the airliner took off for more than 2 hours. The height to which the model rose reached 6 km.

The results of TsAGI inspections were received in 2010, as a result of which ZAO received a license to produce this modification. On April 19, the first prototype was donated to the Armenian air carrier Armavia, which successfully operates it for its needs.

Design

The SaM146 turbofan power unit from the Russian-French company Power Jet, installed on both sides of the body, ensures flawless operation of the model. The layout of the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft is no different from standard classical aerodynamic standards, representing an ordinary short-haul passenger aircraft.

The swept-back shape of the wings, equipped with single-slot flaps, the nose fairing, many mechanisms and parts - all this is made of composite materials.

The aircraft is controlled using a sidestick installed instead of a steering wheel, which is used for the first time in domestic developments.

Mechanical shock absorbers are not installed for landing safety, since instead of them the designers used automatic protection against contact with the tail part runway.

Interior layout

The manufacturer comments on the cabin layout with the following words: “The seats in our Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft are designed in such a way that the greatest comfort and safety, created by unprecedented characteristics, are put at the forefront. Thus, a passenger who arrived on a large airliner for long-haul flights and transferred to a small regional one will hardly feel the difference.

The design of the economy class cabin in size comparison is identical to Boeing or Airbus. The distance in the legs allows even tall people to sit quietly and straighten their legs, and the shelf for storing luggage with a capacity of 50 liters breaks all records.

This has the added benefit of not having to check your bag or suitcase as luggage and then wait to receive it upon arrival.”

The arrangement of seats on the Sukhoi Superjet aircraft is designed in such a way that there are 2 categories: economy and business class.

Inexpensive salon has 75 seats versus 12 in a more expensive class.

Separately, the arrangement of the seats should be mentioned; they are placed in such a way that on one side along the board there are 3 in one row, and across the aisle on the second side - 2. Toilets are located in the front and rear.

Location of the best places

Total cabin capacity may vary significantly depending on seat selection. The most comfortable ones in economy class are in row 6. Here more space for the legs, since there are no seats in front.

The rest are considered relatively convenient, differing in many ways from their “classmates” used in regional aviation. The distance between adjacent seats is 81 cm.

The opposite situation concerns the last row; the partition installed at the back does not allow you to fully recline the backrest and sit with maximum comfort.

In addition, the structure of the aircraft cabin has some features that apply to almost all places in any public transport. Therefore, it is advisable to take them into account when choosing a place:

1. The seats located near the window are distinguished by the fact that you can admire the views throughout the entire flight (subject to a daytime flight and clear weather). However, getting out of it is inconvenient; you will have to disturb the neighboring passenger;
2. Aisle seats have completely opposite characteristics. It’s easy to go to the toilet using them; you don’t need to ask anyone to let you in. But, quite often, passing flight attendants delivering food and water on carts, as well as passengers and a neighbor who needs to get out, can be disturbing.

General technical specifications

One of the main differences that the Sukhoi Superjet-100 has is its production using modern technologies and innovative projects.

Thanks to this, some specifications radically different from analogues produced earlier.
You can familiarize yourself with them using the table below:

Characteristic	Size/ Description
Length, m	29,95
Height, m	10,29
Wingspan, m	27,85
Fuselage diameter, m	3,25
Maximum take-off weight, kg	45 890
Maximum landing weight, kg	40 000
Empty aircraft weight, kg	24 240
Optimal speed, km/h	820
Maximum speed, km/h	870
Flight altitude, m	12 100
Flight range, km	3 050
Number of passengers, people	98
Run length, m	1 620
Number of crew, people	2+2

Thanks to its features, the Sotka can be used on all types of runways.

In addition, the model’s avionics allows it to perform these actions even in difficult weather conditions.

In addition, the price of tickets for a small plane is low, which makes it more popular for use in regional transportation.

Modifications of the Super Jet-100 family

As of November 2017, 151 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft have been produced. However, this applies not only to one model, but to the entire series, developed on a single basis.

Total for this moment There are 7 different variations known for different purposes:

1. The Sukhoi Superjet-100 V aircraft is the standard version from which the history of the model began;
2. Model 100 B-VIP is an administrative and business option developed on the basis of the main model. At this time, 2 aircraft are operated in the Rossiya SLO and 1 in the RusJet airline;
3. 100 LR (Long Range) – has an increased flight range, reaching 4,500 km;

Of the total number of Superjet aircraft produced, only 117 units were delivered to customers, the rest are in the manufacturer’s hangar or are undergoing static tests in Zhukovsky.

Advantages of the aircraft

As mentioned earlier, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is produced using modern technologies, which allows us to speak of its high quality, reliability and safety.

The main structures are designed in such a way that this model is the only one certified to the global standard. In addition, during the development of the aircraft, not only technical requirements were taken into account, but also the wishes and recommendations of future customers.

This made it possible to bring Pavel Sukhoi’s designs as close as possible to the ideal option.

Benefits are divided into those received from passengers and operational ones, those that affect pilots and owners involved in maintenance. If we consider the positive characteristics of the aircraft from travelers, we can note the following:

1. Convenient aircraft layout;
2. A salon characterized by width and spaciousness;
3. Comfortably installed soft passenger seats;
4. Modern production and use of modern finishing materials in the production.

However, despite numerous positive reviews, the opinion is often heard that the model requires significant improvements. Perhaps this is the reason that the model spends most of its time on the ground, and during flights the cabin is filled no more than half.

Disadvantages of the aircraft

A serious blow to the brand's image was the tragedy that occurred during a test flight over Indonesia.

The accident killed 45 people, some of whom could have become potential customers. Although, as a result of the examination, the cause of the collision with the mountain was not the technical condition of the aircraft, but the erroneous actions of the crew, many people’s opinion about the Superjet-100 changed, and the manufacturing company lost a large number of orders.

Most of The list of manufactured aircraft models “100” and “95” have notes regarding frequent problems that arise with enviable regularity. This may be explained by the fact that the Superjet is a new development, which, like all new products, has technical errors that only appear during long-term operation.

Another option is Russian assembly. This fact for some customers it is enough to refuse a purchase.

If we look at the statistics, the flight time of models does not exceed 3 – 4 hours a day. The only positive coefficient is shown by Yakutia Airlines with a time above average - 6.5 hours.

The reason for the low popularity is the high cost of spare parts, the production of which is not profitable for the manufacturer due to the small number of aircraft.

Many passengers notice the design feature of the Superjet - the low location of the windows. In order to look at them, an adult has to hunch over or slide down, which is not entirely comfortable. In addition, a number of unpleasant surprises of the model were noted:

1. Strong floor vibration;
2. Poor sound insulation;
3. Lack of individual ventilation;
4. Poor layout emergency exits, of which there are very few.

Despite the different dynamics of the advantages and disadvantages of the model, it is national pride, since this is the only aircraft designed after the collapse Soviet Union, while meeting all international requirements. Moreover, despite the description of the Superjet-100 as a model that has a number of shortcomings and constantly requires the intervention of technicians, it does not have cases that radically characterize the danger of the model.

During the entire short period of use with the aircraft, there was not a single serious breakdown that resulted in the death of people. The incident that occurred in Indonesia is not taken into account as it occurred for a different reason.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Sukhoi Superjet 100, abbr. SSJ 100) is a modern Russian short-haul passenger aircraft developed by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft with the participation of a number of foreign companies.

The aircraft was built according to a normal layout - a twin-engine turbofan low-wing aircraft with a swept wing and single-tail tail. The supercritical wing design uses single-slot flaps. Part of the wing mechanization, as well as the nose fairing and the wing root fairing are made of composite materials.

The impeccable cockpit features intuitive control systems developed in collaboration with the pilots. The SSJ100 is the first 100-seat aircraft to feature a full fly-by-wire (FBW) system. It has been specifically designed to optimize control, reduce crew workload, and ensure maximum fuel efficiency.

The Superjet 100 uses algorithmic runway tail protection, eliminating the need for mechanical shock absorbers.

The SSJ-100's cabin is tall, spacious and has a fairly wide passage between the seats. The luggage racks have a record volume in their class (50 liters). Passenger seats arranged according to a 2+3 pattern, and there is enough distance between them to freely stretch out the legs of even a very tall passenger. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 can carry 98 passengers and transport them over a distance of up to 3,000 km.

SSJ 100 received international certificate EASA. This means that the aircraft can be used by all European and global airlines that have adopted EASA principles as a standard. In the spring of 2011, the first production aircraft SSJ100 was put into operation.

Airlines operating the aircraft: CityJet, Interjet, Lao Central Airlines, Aeroflot, Azimut, Gazpromavia, IrAero, RusJet, Center-South, Yakutia, " Yamal."

Location and numbering of seats in the cabin, layout of seats on the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. The best and less comfortable seats on the plane

0 -95VAeroflot airlines

Aeroflot is the main operator of this airliner. Its fleet operates more than 30 SSJ 100 aircraft.

Business class - first 3 rows:

• First row business class slightly less legroom than other rows. This is due to the presence of a septum. Since the partition is very thin, you can hear everything that happens behind. Therefore, these places are slightly worse than other places in the same class.

  However, business class seats are the most comfortable places in the cabin of the plane. The distance between the rows is 1.5 times greater than in economy class. There is somewhere to stretch your legs and relax. The seats are wider and softer. There are 12 such places in total.

Economy class - from rows 6 to 20:

• First economy class seats (6th row)- the most comfortable seats in this class. There is a lot of free space in front of the seats.

20 row inAA configuration- immediately behind the last row there is a toilet and utility room. The seats in this row do not recline or have a significant limitation in this regard. Also, there is always someone walking near the toilets, and sometimes there is even a queue. Very uncomfortable places.

20 row in configurationA.F.-a little better. The toilet is located at some distance from the seats and they are no different from ordinary standard seats. Although they won’t stop walking near you.

Cabin layout, the best and least comfortable seats on the Sukhoi Superjet 10 0 Azimuth Airlines

Azimuth Airlines uses two layouts for aircraft layout, each a mono-cabin.

Scheme No. 1 20 rows (2X3) with a capacity of 100 passengers.

Scheme No. 2

21 rows with a capacity of 103 passengers. On the plane, the 1st row - 3 seats (only D, E, F), the remaining rows - according to the pattern 2–3.

Seats with the letters A and F are located at the windows, C and D - at the aisle.

First three rows of seats available at the Comfort tariff. These seats are separated by a partition from the main cabin, and there is increased legroom.
These seats have special placement with the creation of their own cozy space and a feeling of spaciousness for the passenger: two-seat block - 1 seat is provided to the passenger, the adjacent seat remains free, three-seat block - 2 seats are provided to passengers, 1 seat in the middle of the block remains free. Hot meals on these rows are provided for flights of more than 4 hours, and light snacks for flights of less than 4 hours. Refreshments and tea/coffee are available throughout the flight.

The best seats are in the 1st row. Next in terms of convenience are the porthole seats. Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft have a fairly narrow aisle, so queues for the toilet and the movement of stewards with a trolley can create slight inconvenience for passengers who have seats with the letters C and D. The seats in the last row do not recline.

Emergency exits are located at the rear and rear of the aircraft. Toilets are also located on both sides of the aircraft.

• The uniqueness of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 family of aircraft is that Newest technologies are used not only in the aircraft itself, but also at all stages of its creation - from design to assembly, which, in turn, guarantees the creation of a modern aircraft that meets the requirements of the global market.
• Sukhoi Superjet 100-95B is the first Russian passenger aircraft to be tested for compliance with European noise requirements.
• The designers preferred the side stick to control the aircraft over the traditional steering wheel, as a result of which the Superjet 100 became the first Russian serial civil passenger aircraft with a sidestick.
