Superjet update is not limited to import substitution - the new aircraft will be more modern and more efficient than the base model. Chief designer of the Superjet program, Vladimir Lavrov, spoke about this on the air of the “Military Acceptance” program on the Zvezda TV channel.
The new elements have a saber shape, which will reduce fuel consumption by 4%. In turn, Andrei Boginsky, general director of Yakovlev PJSC, noted that it is planned to complete testing of the airliner in 2025.
