SSJ-100. Flew and enough

Yesterday, at the Moscow airport, the Russian interregional airliner SSJ-100 made an emergency landing. It can be said that this was the swan song of this aircraft, on which they had so much hoped in the Sukhoi company and in the Russian government.

The plane turned out clearly raw and poor quality. Only in 2019 it was the third accident and the first with the victims. Previously, one aircraft returned to the airfield due to cracking of the porthole, and the second due to hydraulic failure. And in total, it was 27 state of emergency since 2010 with the participation of SSJ-100. For the new aircraft, which is not released in such a large series - this is too much.

Earlier, one of the largest operators of this plane, the Mexican Interjet, abandoned the aircraft. The reason for the failure is very critical for the automaker - poor quality after-service. Very often this criterion becomes the key when an airline selects an aircraft.

The biggest problem of the Sukhoi aircraft are its engines. Created specifically for this plane, they were raw, with a bunch of childhood illnesses and with a small working resource.

In addition to foreign operators, domestic companies are beginning to abandon the aircraft.

The situation that has developed with the SSJ-100 clearly shows the impossibility of Russian companies to compete with Western ones. Even assembled on 70% of American and Japanese parts, the aircraft proved to be from the worst side.
