Sukhoi Superjet 100 programme update

The fourth Sukhoi Superjet 100 flight test prototype SN95005 made a one day flight from Komsomolsk-on-Amur via Novosibirsk to the Zhukovsky-based Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company Flight Test Center. Prior to this flight the aircraft had been performing flights to check the systems operations, including autopilot and engines. Just before the flight to Zhukovsky the aircraft completed en-route operation towards Sakhalin to thoroughly validate navigation and communication systems. The flight certification campaign tests scheduled for this aircraft include the evaluation of onboard equipment and, together with SN95004, systems failure safety.
