100% Russian-Made Jet Completes Maiden Flight
Russia has successfully launched the SJ-100, a fully domestically produced passenger jet, on its maiden flight. The aircraft, designed to carry up to 100 passengers, marks a significant step in the country’s efforts to reduce reliance on foreign-made airplanes.
The SJ-100 is part of Russia’s import-substitution strategy, showcasing the nation’s growing capabilities in aviation technology. Analysts suggest that this development could pose new competition for international manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus in the regional jet market.
The successful flight demonstrates Russia’s push for self-reliance in commercial aviation, highlighting the potential for more homegrown aircraft in the near future.
