πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί β€œThe first test flight of the fully import-substituted aircraft with Russian PD-8 engines was successfully completed,” said crew commander Sergey Zavalkin after the landing of the new "Superjet". 🟒 During the flight, takeoff and climb to an altitude of 3,000 meters were performed using the engines' takeoff mode. In the air, the onboard systems and flight-navigation equipment were tested across the speed range from minimum to maximum for this flight. 🟒 The gas-dynamic stability of the PD-8 engines, developed by the Rybinsk-based company UEC-Saturn, was also tested. As a reminder, today the third aircraft equipped with PD-8 engines joined the flight testing of the regional "Superjet" aircraft. #Superjet #PD8 #RussianAviation #UEC #AircraftTestFlight #MadeInRussia #ImportSubstitution #AviationNews #JetEngines #ODKSaturn #RussianJet #SuperjetPD8 #FlightTest #AerospaceEngineering #RegionalJet Be a Member for exclusive privileges - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCviEFTf1xIPKsjmyF_zvFug/join Twitter : https://x.com/AltitudeAddicts Website: https://www.altitudeaddicts.com
