Experimental design bureau P.O. Sukhoi until 2000 was engaged in the development of exclusively military aircraft. The fighter jets created at this enterprise are known all over the world and are in considerable demand among buyers from various countries. All the more unexpected were the first reports that Sukhoi designers had begun designing a civil aircraft.
In 2008, this airliner made its first flight, and today more than a hundred of these aircraft are used by various airlines. This, of course, is quite a bit compared to thousands of Boeings and Airbuses, but no other aircraft Russian production failed to achieve even such indicators.
History of the development of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger airliner
In the mid-1980s, Soviet passenger aircraft began to look outdated compared to the latest Western airliners. The gap did not look hopeless; it could still be overcome. Almost all leading design bureaus already had projects for new generation aircraft, which were supposed to replace the honored “aviation veterans” on internal and external lines. Unfortunately, after a few years, little remained of these plans.
The Yak-42 is the only Russian-made short-haul aircraft built and flown in relatively large numbers after the collapse of the USSR
In the 90s, Russian aviation industry degraded. Aircraft were literally produced piece by piece, factories were turned into warehouses for Turkish and Chinese consumer goods, and foreign “investors,” happily rubbing their hands, took away design and technological documentation. In addition, the demand for domestic flights has fallen sharply: in the first two years of the “reforms” alone, the number of passengers decreased fourfold. Under these conditions, one could not even dream of reviving the aviation industry.
The Sukhoi Corporation, unlike many other aircraft manufacturing companies, survived the “wild 90s” relatively well, mainly due to the sale of fighter aircraft to various countries around the world. In 2000, the management of this company first raised the question of diversifying production and creating an airliner for transporting people over short or medium ranges.
This initiative met with support from the new top political leadership of Russia, which was determined to put an end to the total collapse of industry. However, from the very beginning it was clear that the newly created Sukhoi Civil Aircraft company would not be able to cope with the project alone. The development of the engines was entrusted to the French company Snecma; a significant part of the instrumentation was created by specialists from the S.V. Aviation Complex. Ilyushin, and to successfully promote the aircraft on the world market, assistance was used from the American concern Boeing.
The project, created by engineers from the Sukhoi Corporation, was recognized in 2003 by representatives of Rosaviakosmos as worthy of government funding. Then the future aircraft was called RRJ (Russian Regional Jet). At the same time, other projects of short-haul airliners were also considered, including the Tu-414 developed by the Tupolev company, however, the victory remained with Sukhoi.
It was decided to organize the assembly of new aircraft in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, where the necessary production lines were prepared for this. The official display of a prototype airliner, renamed SSJ100, that is, Sukhoi Superjet 100, was held at the end of September 2007. Eight months later, the first flight of the new Sukhoi took place, and a year later this regional aircraft was shown in Le Bourget during the annual aviation show.
The first buyer of this aircraft was Armavia, registered in Armenia. It received the SSJ100 airliner in April 2011, and from that moment the commercial operation of the Superjet began. Aeroflot remains the largest customer.
As of July 2020, more than 190 SSJ aircraft have been built, however, not all of them are in use: according to various sources, no more than 116 operate regular flights. There are also a number of unclosed contracts for the supply of aircraft.
Description of the aircraft design
In terms of its aerodynamic design, the SSJ airliner is not original: a single-fin empennage with “lower” placement of the elevators, a swept wing with two engines mounted underneath it. This gives the aircraft a rather "typical" feel. appearance. True, the SSJ does not have the wingtips characteristic of Airbuses, but in the future, it is expected that these design elements will appear on it.
The aircraft is controlled using a “sidestick” - a side stick that replaces the traditional steering wheel. The pilots are assisted by two on-board computers, which, as originally thought, could not fail at the same time.
Composite materials are used in aircraft construction, but to a rather limited extent. Fairings are made from them, as well as a number of wing mechanization elements.
Performance characteristics
The main parameters of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 airliner are as follows:
Flight characteristics
The operational performance of the Superjet airliner can be presented in the form of a table:
The price of one Superjet in 2015 was about 26 million US dollars.
Description of the interior layout
The internal layout of the Sukhoi SSJ100 airliner may seem unusual to many passengers, especially those who have never flown on short-haul aircraft. The main thing that catches your eye is the asymmetry of the seating arrangement. In economy class they are installed in a 2x3 pattern - on the left side in each row there are two seats, then an aisle, and three more seats on the right side. A similar arrangement was previously used for the American Boeing 717 airliner, which is the same as the Sukhoi in terms of capacity and flight range.
It should be noted that the internal layout of the SSJ-100 cabin may differ slightly between airlines. The basic version assumed the presence of 100 economy class seats in a single cabin. Sometimes the left two seats in the first row were removed, reducing capacity to 98 people.
A more comfortable option involves placing 12 business class seats and 75 economy class seats. The most spacious modification allows you to carry up to 103 passengers in the cabin with reduced intervals between the rows of seats.
There are three toilets on board. One of them is located to the left of the central longitudinal axis of the aircraft, immediately behind the cockpit. The second one is also on the left, behind the last row of economy class seats. The third toilet is located at the very rear of the salon - the central passage abuts it.
Location of seats
Three rows of business class seats are located at the front of the aircraft. Directly in front of them is a bulkhead separating them from office premises and toilet. The seating arrangement is traditional – 2x2.
Economy class seats are arranged in a 2x3 pattern. They occupy the bulk of the internal space. It is possible to install a stretcher - for this, the last three rows on the left side of the cabin are used.
Best places
Most high level Comfort for Superjet passengers is ensured, of course, in business class. In addition, the seats located in the 6th row of the main part of the cabin are highly rated - these are the seats located immediately behind the partition. They even have a special name – Space. Please note that tickets for these seats will be more expensive than for all others.
Worst places
The most uncomfortable seats on a Superjet are located in the last row of Economy Class. They are directly adjacent to the toilet. As a result, passengers are constantly disturbed by other people to rest. In addition, in the basic layout, the backs of the seats in the last row do not recline, which also does not contribute to comfort.
It is noted that in the first row of business class there is some shortage of free space due to excessive proximity to the front service bulkhead.
Advantages and disadvantages
From a passenger's point of view, the Superjet can most likely be called a very ordinary aircraft. It is quite comfortable for its class, and the flights do not last long. Therefore, airlines actually experience the pros and cons of the airliner.
The list of main advantages is as follows:
- The aircraft has convenient and modern controls;
- The Superjet can be serviced at any airfield; it does not require large hangars or long runways;
- Very low price. One such airliner is no less than three times cheaper than, for example, an Airbus A319, used on the same routes;
- Low engine noise;
- Economical fuel consumption.
The car also has disadvantages, and for some buyers they have already outweighed the advantages. The main disadvantage is the poor, if not disastrous, after-sales service Maintenance. The manufacturer cannot cope with the timely production of the required number of repair kits.
This leads to constant SSJ downtime and low flight hours.
There are other shortcomings:
- Excessively high share of imported components. This has already led to the failure of a contract for the supply of aircraft to Iran, since the United States simply refused to supply the necessary structural elements;
- General unreliability of many auxiliary systems and devices. Frequent breakdowns, even if they do not affect flight safety, have become a real curse of this airliner;
- Insufficient engine life. It turned out to be several times lower than stated, which caused a lot of complaints from airlines that had already purchased Superjets.
Currently, the developers of the SSJ-100 are trying to correct the most significant shortcomings of the machine, however, it is not yet clear how long this process will take.
Flight safety
Of the 191 SSJ100 aircraft, three were lost in accidents. In two cases this resulted in significant loss of life. The first disaster occurred on May 9, 2012, when the airliner, performing a demonstration flight, crashed into a mountain. All 45 people on board were killed.
The second tragedy received the widest media coverage. On May 5, 2020, the Sukhoi Superjet, taking off from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport, was forced to return back after the simultaneous failure of both on-board computers. The rough landing led to a fire that killed more than half the passengers (41 out of 78) and completely destroyed the plane itself.
The incident at Sheremetyevo caused enormous damage to the image of the SSJ100, which was already not ideal. Despite the fact that the culprit of the disaster was apparently the pilot of the aircraft, many experts were extremely unhappy with the failure of the on-board electronics, which were not sufficiently protected from the effects of atmospheric electricity.
Countless minor breakdowns of the aircraft’s engines and auxiliary systems, which have become a constant occurrence over the years of Superjet operation, also do not contribute to safety.
Main modifications of the aircraft
Already during the period design work it was envisaged that the SSJ100 would be produced in various versions, involving some changes in the main performance characteristics of the airliner. In total, no less than eight different modifications were designed, the most promising of which are two - Sukhoi Superjet 100 95 LR and 100 95 SV.
Sukhoi Superjet-100-95LR
Operation of this variant of the aircraft began in March 2014. Its main difference from the basic version is the increased flight range, which has been increased to 4576 km. This was achieved through the installation of more economical engines. At the same time, the fuel supply remained the same, but the take-off weight increased slightly, which affected the vehicle’s range. Other characteristics have been preserved.
Sukhoi Superjet-100-95SV
This modification of the Superjet should significantly change the appearance of the aircraft, since it is expected to increase the length of the fuselage and the wing area. This will increase the number of passengers on board to 125, and the take-off weight will increase by 10 tons. There is still little information about steps for the practical implementation of this project, although initial plans included the start of commercial operation in 2020.
Whatever it becomes further development“Superjet”, today we can say that it played a certain positive role. Thanks to the work on creating this airliner, Russian designers and production workers gained significant experience in designing modern passenger aircraft. In conditions of almost complete loss of Soviet developments, this is very valuable. The difficult fate of the SSJ-100, in addition, can serve as a good lesson for the country’s political leadership, because it once again shows how easy it is to destroy and how difficult it is to restore the civil aircraft industry.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below the article. We or our visitors will be happy to answer them
Today's post is a short overview Russian plane Sukhoi Superjet 100 with tail number RA-89005. The SSJ 100 aircraft, painted in the colors of the SkyTeam alliance, was transferred to Aeroflot on March 5, 2012. My flight on it took place on March 30, 2012, that is, more than a year ago. At that time, only 8 such machines were flying in the world (now there are about 20). I will share my personal impressions of the aircraft. As they say, better late than never.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
A girl in an Aeroflot uniform opens the boarding gate for a flight on the route Moscow - Minsk. The cost of a round-trip ticket was a modest 3,868 rubles (1,013 hryvnia or $127).
//glazelki.livejournal.com
The SSJ 100 cabin comes in two versions for ~75 and ~95 passengers. The Superjet belongs to the class of regional short-haul aircraft, i.e. designed for medium and short-range flights (up to 2,400 kilometers). But there is also an option with an increased flight range. The layout of the economy class cabin is narrow-body - 5 seats in one transverse row, separated by an aisle (3+2).
//glazelki.livejournal.com
As soon as online registration opened on the Aeroflot website, I checked in in the first row after business class.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
Pay attention to the plane diagram; this row has the largest legroom.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
Even with the toe of an outstretched leg it is impossible to reach the seat in front.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
The other chairs are also very comfortable to sit in. The row spacing is decent, as decent as it can be in economy class. For me, as a passenger, this is one of the key characteristics of an airplane.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
The salon turned out to be completely new. So clean that it actually sparkled. The finishing is on par. Let's go over the main components.
Individual panel. LED bulbs shine brightly. The buttons on the panel are simple, but pressed softly and pleasantly.

Senior flight attendant console.

Compartment for hand luggage.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
The designers managed to ensure that the size of the shelves corresponded to the size of the shelves of airliners with a large fuselage diameter, such as the A320 family of medium-range aircraft. Note that the drawer is deeper above the three chairs. So if your “carry-on baggage” is so huge that it doesn’t fit on your right, you can ask your neighbors on your left to accommodate you above them.
//glazelki.livejournal.com
If the cabin is full, and each passenger has a lot of things with them, there will not be enough space in the hand luggage compartment for everyone. However, this is not a problem with a specific aircraft, but a feature of the entire economy class.

It seemed to me that the cabin was a little noisy due to the roar of the engines. Especially during takeoff.

Results.
Well what can I say? The flight went as usual and seemed quite comfortable. Nothing irritated me more than usual. At the same time, the cabin of the SSJ 100 does not have outstanding characteristics compared to the cabins of other aircraft of its class that I have flown. The only noticeable plus is the pleasant novelty of the interior. Old Bombardiers and Embraers are more greasy than the newest Superjet.
The tactical and technical characteristics, cost of maintenance and economic benefits from operating the aircraft are not for me, the average passenger, to judge, but for the airlines' specialized specialists. But I will still say a few words about the project itself. Firstly, I fully approve of the use of imported components in the aircraft development process. International cooperation increased the quality and guaranteed the success of the project as a whole. But the indigestible Latin “Sukhoi Superjet 100”, which became official name On the contrary, it is very confusing. As a wish, I propose to name the next new model of the Russian aircraft in Russian.
Well, secondly, the SSJ 100 was launched on a domestic assembly line and is being mass-produced, for the first time in modern history Russia. The firm backlog of orders for the aircraft already amounts to 179 units. As the number of Superjets increases, I hope the number of interregional transportations, which we, residents of the regions of a huge country, so lack, will also increase.
Work on the creation of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft began in March 2003. It went on its first test flight in May 2008. Factory tests ended after 4 months, in October, after which the next stage began, necessary for certification of the airliner. The plane took off for the first time with passengers on April 21, 2011. The short-haul Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft became the first in the family. Its Superjet modification (LR - Long Range) is distinguished by an increased take-off weight and a longer flight range of 4,578 kilometers. The aircraft of this modification first took to the air in 2013.
Another modification of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 SV features an elongated fuselage. This will allow the liner to carry more passengers. Work on the creation of this model began in 2015, its completion is scheduled for 2018.
By the end of 2017, the number of manufactured aircraft reached 110, with more than 90 Superjets sold to airlines. These aircraft are operated in Russia, Mexico, Ireland, Armenia, Laos, Indonesia, and Thailand.
Russian airlines use the Sukhoi Superjet poorly. For a number of reasons, it takes at least 2 months to wait for spare parts. At the same time, for foreign-made aircraft, spare parts are provided within 24 hours. Because of this, a significant part of the aircraft is idle.
In 2015, the total flight time of these 25 aircraft at Aeroflot was about 9,000 hours. The Gazprom Avia airline, which has 10 superjets, has 1,400 hours. That is, on average, each plane was in the air for a maximum of 25 minutes per day. For comparison, an indicator characterizing the performance of the Boeing 737 is given. On average, everyone flies up to 15 hours a day.
The best and worst seats in the airliner cabin
The layout of the Superjet cabin is made according to a scheme in which there are 12 seats for business class and 75 for economy class. That is, the total number of passengers is 87. Of course, more amenities are available where business class seats are located. Here the chairs themselves are somewhat more comfortable. They are both wider and softer. The downside is that the existing partition separating passengers here from economy class is too thin. It does not provide a high level of sound insulation.
The best seats in both classes are those in the front rows. In business class it is the 1st row, in economy class it is the 6th row. The advantage here is that there are no seats in front, which means that passengers do not recline their backs, causing some inconvenience to those sitting behind.
Another plus is that there is more legroom, which is quite comfortable on a long flight. In addition, passengers in these rows are the first to receive food and refreshments. In addition, being away from the middle of the cabin, where there is almost always noise due to communication between passengers, is also an additional convenience.
The best seats include those in other rows, indicated in the diagram A and F. These seats are located near the windows. U of this aircraft They are quite large, conveniently located, and provide good visibility.
Since all seats in business class are always better than in economy class, there is no need to dwell on them too much. We can only add that in addition to the convenience due to the increased softness of the seats and their greater width, there is such a plus as the distance between the rows. It is one and a half times more than in economy class.
Passengers behind the partition separating business class from the majority of the cabin are in somewhat cramped conditions. Although the distance between the rows complies with the standards, tall passengers still find it uncomfortable here.
A serious disadvantage is present in places C and D of the 19th row. There is a lot of traffic here for those going to the toilet. In addition, flight attendants are constantly working in the aisle. This also creates inconvenience for the passengers here.
The seats located in the 20th row are considered the most uncomfortable. The kitchen and toilet are located a short distance away. Passenger traffic here is the most intense. Place D, located next to the entrance to the kitchen area, is mostly inconvenient. The difficulty here is that almost every time the trolley with which flight attendants walk through the cabin, serving passengers, hits either a seat or a passenger. But this is still quite unpleasant.
Pros and cons of the aircraft
The advantages of the aircraft include the latest design solutions and new technologies. Suffice it to mention that the developers took into account the requirements of the FAA organizations (Federal Administration civil aviation USA) and EASA (European Agency aviation security). In addition, during the work, the requirements and wishes of those involved in the operation of aircraft and who are potential customers of the Superjet were taken into account.
The advantage of the new airliner is that it can land and take off on runways A, B, C. This becomes possible both due to the features of its design and due to the fact that it uses a modern avionics system. Due to this system, the aircraft can be landed in difficult weather conditions.
Currently, the Superjet does not have any shortcomings that could have arisen during its design. Of course, at the first stage they were there. However, everything that could negatively affect the aircraft was revealed during its testing. What could not be detected immediately was eliminated within two years (2011 – 2013), that is, in the first years of operation.
But still, some shortcomings remain. They relate to living conditions. These include insufficient aisle width and slightly increased noise in the cabin, which creates discomfort for some passengers. Business class passengers have the inconvenience of poor sound insulation from the rest of the cabin due to the thin partition.
The mentioned shortcomings are more than compensated for. The liner has an unprecedented security system. It uses algorithmic protection to prevent touching the GDP. It is more efficient than mechanical shock absorbers.
Characteristics
Length: 29.94 m.
Height: 10.28 m.
Wingspan: 27.80 m.
Wing area: 77 m2.

Cruising speed: 830 km/h.
Maximum speed: 860 km/h.
Flight range: 3048 km.
Number of passenger seats: 87.

Conclusion
To summarize, it can be noted that even with its existing shortcomings, the Sukhoi Superjet is a good aircraft. It can transport passengers both short and long distances. Although its cabin dimensions are inferior to those of the Airbus A-380, its spaciousness corresponds to this class of airliner.
The existing security system and modern avionics ensure high reliability. At the same time, the cost of the aircraft, compared to analogues, is significantly lower. We can say that this airliner is the next step on the way to a new generation of aircraft. And his indicators allow him to be recognized as the best among representatives of this class.
Taxi cost calculation to the airport
Aeroflot airline has almost 170 aircraft in its fleet. aircraft, 26 of which are Sukhoi Superjet 100. These aircraft are designed for short- and medium-haul flights. The standard configuration of this aircraft is 12 business class seats and 75 economy class seats. Despite the relatively small number of passengers carried, this aircraft is very comfortable for passengers. On the interior diagram of Aeroflot's dry superjet 100, you can see that the distance between the seats and rows is enough to feel comfortable while traveling by air.
Interior features
The salon consists of 2 classes: business and economy. There are 12 seats in the first section of the aircraft. increased comfort, between which there are much more space than in the second part of the aircraft. However, despite this, business class is separated from economy class only by a screen, which does not eliminate extraneous sounds and noise coming from behind it.
Interior diagram from the official website
Business class seats
There are only 3 rows of 2 seats on both sides of the aisle. It is impossible to say with certainty which ones are the best. For those who may be bothered by noise from economy class, it is advisable to choose 1st row, since a short distance and a thin screen will not provide you with complete silence during the flight. Although, due to the close location of the partition, there is not enough space in these places to comfortably relax your legs. While the distance between other seats in this class is quite large.
Economy class seats
Despite the fact that the distance between the rows of economy class is sufficient, 6th row considered the most convenient. It is the first in its section, so there will be plenty of space in front of the passenger to comfortably position the legs, as well as hand luggage so that it does not interfere with you while traveling. Another important advantage is that there are no other chairs in front of you, and no one will throw their back at you, which will cause you discomfort. The only drawback of these seats is that they often carry passengers with children, who may cry or play around all the way.
The most inconvenient places, as can be seen in the interior diagram of the Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, are located in 20th row. The discomfort is due to the fact that immediately behind these seats there are toilets and a kitchen area. There will be a constant movement of flight attendants with carts and trays serving food and drinks. Particularly unsuccessful in this are the places located directly next to the aisle. In addition, throughout the flight there will be traffic near your seat of passengers going to or from the toilet. They, as a rule, slam the door or don’t close it at all, create a queue in the aisle near the last rows and talk while waiting.
Also, in these places you usually smell both unpleasant toilet odors and food aromas, which is also not always pleasant. Another downside to this row of seats is that they don't recline, so you won't be able to sit back or sit up comfortably during a long flight. This nuance is especially important for those who have all kinds of problems with the spine and back injuries.
- If possible, it is worth booking your seats in advance, this way you are more likely to get exactly the seats you want.
- When planning a flight, go to the airline's website and ask about the location of seats in the cabin, as well as where the bathrooms and kitchen are located.
- In order to find out the aircraft model and its configuration, you can contact an airline representative. He will be able to answer all your questions and advise you on the most profitable and convenient option for you.
- For a comfortable trip, business class is most suitable; here you can relax, sleep, and take a comfortable position, regardless of your height.
- If you do get seats at the back of the cabin, ask whether the seats recline, otherwise you will have to fly in an upright position the entire time, which can be very tiring and painful for your back.
Recommendation! If you are flying with a child or for some reason need to visit the toilet frequently, buy tickets for seats located near the aisle or in the 6th row, since in this case you will not disturb your neighbors by constantly making your way through them to the exit. This will save time and nerves for you and other passengers.
In this article we will talk in detail about the cabin layout and the best seats on the Aeroflot Sukhoi SuperJet-100-95B (SSJ-100) aircraft.

The aircraft used have a two-class cabin layout:
- The business class cabin accommodates 12 seats in a 2x2 configuration.
- The economy class cabin has 75 seats in a 2x3 layout.
Sukhoi SuperJet-100-95B aircraft cabin diagram
Business class cabin
Business class occupies the first three rows of the SuperJet cabin.
Number of seats: 12 pcs.
Chair pitch: 90 cm.
Width: 46 cm.
The seats are arranged two in a row.
The advantages of flying in this class are obvious, despite its simplicity, in comparison with the Boeing 777-300, for example.
This includes a large distance between the seats, more delicious food in a large assortment, and a private toilet room.
Business class is separated from economic class by a soft partition, popularly called a curtain.
Despite the small number of business class rows, there is best places and not entirely good.
The first row of business class is preferable to others - there will be no seat in front of you and no one will recline their back, violating your personal space.
The third row is a little worse due to the soft interior separator. The curtain does not muffle noise from the economy compartment of the cabin.
Mounts for baby bassinets on all seats in the first row.
Economy class
In the SSJ-100 cabin diagram, economy class is located from rows 6 to 20.
Layout: 2x3.
Number of seats: 75 pcs.
Chair pitch: 75 – 80 cm.
Width: 46 cm.
Economy class cabin, according to the diagram passenger seats, located from rows 6 to 20.
6 row. The seats in it are considered Space+ seats of increased comfort, with increased legroom. A separate registration fee may apply.
But there are also disadvantages. Immediately behind you will be the leading edge of the wing with the engine. Increased noise may occur during takeoff and landing.
The best seats on the SuperJet 100 are considered to be in the front of the cabin, in the first rows. Two toilets in Sukhoi are located at the rear of the plane. And the closer you are to it, the more likely there is a fuss around your chairs from people who want to visit the restrooms.
The aisle between the rows is narrow. When choosing aisle seats, you risk being repeatedly hit by passengers walking along the cabin.
Rows 7 to 13 are above the wing. The chairs have a standard pitch.
In addition to the disadvantages of the absence of a landscape outside the window, there are also advantages - the wing covers the engine, and accordingly, there is less noise in these rows.
