Gazpromavia receives first SSJ100 LR

摘要

Gazpromavia has taken delivery of the first Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) LR, the long-range version of the type, powered by SaM146 1S18 engines. The aircraft is one of the 10 SSJ100 LRs ordered by Gazpromavia, which is the launch customer for the model. For the LR, the SaM146 1S18 has a 5% thrust increase over the previous 1S17 version, to 16,100 Ib, increasing the aircraft's maximum take-off weight and extending its range to 4,578 km. The 1S18 uses the same hardware as the 1S17, which means that no changes are required to the aircraft.
