Скачать или смотреть Russian Superjet 100 pushed to speed limits in certification trials— VMO, MMO | VD

The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SJ-100) is undergoing a crucial certification process, where engineers and test pilots push the aircraft to its absolute limits. During recent trials, the Superjet was tested against critical speed boundaries such as VMO (Maximum Operating Speed), MMO (Maximum Mach Operating Speed), and VD (Design Diving Speed). These limits define how fast a commercial jet can fly without risking structural damage, aerodynamic instability, or loss of control.

In these demanding flight tests, the Superjet achieved speeds of up to 324 knots, while its advanced Integrated Control System (ICS)—developed by Rostec and Yakovlev—automatically stabilized the aircraft and prevented pilots from exceeding dangerous flight regimes. This cutting-edge automation ensures safety even in extreme scenarios, proving the resilience of Russia’s new-generation regional airliner.

The certification also includes the updated PD-8 Russian engine, expected to be fully approved by 2025, marking another step in Russia’s aviation modernization. With these results, the Superjet 100 demonstrates readiness for real-world conditions, reinforcing confidence in domestic aircraft technology and boosting Russia’s presence in global aviation.
