This time the focus was on the engine nacelle The Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) continues to test a model of the import-substituted Russian airliner SJ-100. This time, experimental studies took place in the T-128 transonic wind tunnel, with the scientists focusing on the “wing-engine nacelle - pylon” combination.

In both cases, the researchers studied how the SJ-100's aerodynamic characteristics (specifically lift) changed depending on the powerplant configuration. Which option turned out to be better is unknown. It is only reported that the pylon confirmed its calculated characteristics.

This is the result of cooperation between Rossiya Airlines and the State Hermitage Museum Rossiya Airlines and the State Hermitage Museum presented their first joint project - a new livery for the SSJ-100 aircraft, which was named “Kaluga”. [caption id="attachment_71099" align="aligncenter" width="780"] SSJ-100[/caption] Now the SSJ-100 is decorated with an image of a deer figurine - a monument to the decorative and applied arts of the Scythians and one of the symbols of the State Hermitage. "Kaluga" is presented - a new livery for the SSJ-100 Let us remind you that the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100) is a Russian narrow-body short-haul regional passenger aircraft designed to carry from 87 to 108 passengers over a range of 3050 or 4600 km. This is the first large-scale passenger aircraft developed in Russia and the former USSR after the collapse of the USSR. https://youtu.be/XLBPVBtyvWA Earlier, two Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft made an emergency landing at the airfields of Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, as reported by the press service of the Eastern Interregional Investigation Department for Transport of the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia. Superjet 100 chief designer Kirill Kuznetsov said that imported SSJ 100 aircraft will be produced with horizontal wingtips as standard, which will reduce costs for airlines. In Rostec, speaking about the import-substituted SSJ-100 airliner,  they say that they are creating a new aircraft.
