One of the last points of the test program was a run with a detachment of the front post.
The head of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), Yuri Slyusar, previously said that the first flight of the imported SJ-100 aircraft would take place in September, and this time there really would be no hitches: the UAC announced that the SJ-100 was already ready for the first test flight.
Before that, he completed test runs along the runway with the front landing gear off the runway, which was recorded on video.
SJ-100 rushes into flight.
“ A run with a nose strut is one of the key moments in preparing for the first flight, these tests allow the crew to simultaneously work out the take-off procedure and the process of its emergency and safe abort, which is no less important for civil aviation aircraft,” the UAC said and added, that the next stage of factory testing will be the first flight of the SJ-100.
