The new SJ-100 aircraft has been equipped with horizontal winglets, allowing it to land on runways approximately 1,900 meters long, Yegor Popov, director of the Komsomolsk-on-Amur production center of the Regional Aircraft branch of PJSC Yakovlev, told reporters.
"An additional airstair has been installed directly on the [SJ-100] aircraft.
Horizontal winglets have been applied, allowing the aircraft to land on shorter runways – the runway length currently required by the aircraft is 1,900 meters," he said.
Popov noted that all systems in the SJ-100 had been successfully import-substituted.
According to him, high demand is projected for the SJ-100, including for domestic airlines and regional transportation in the Far East.
