23.07.2008 "Sukhoi" prepares for increase in deliveries of the Air Forces of Russia and increases a portfolio of orders for "Superjet"
Moscow, on July, 23rd. In the near future with Military-air forces of Russia the conclusion of the long-term five years' contract is planned for delivery of several tens Su-34 that will allow company "Sukhoi" to develop a full-scale batch production of these front bombers. These deliveries will create preconditions and for an exit of this aircraft on the world market. The Air Forces of the Russian Federation also intend to buy two-three regiments of multipurpose fighters Su-35. For input in a system of an aviacomplex of the fifth generation it is necessary to pass long enough period of working out, manufacture and tests. Su-35 could fill it. As to export prospects of a new fighter it will be interesting first of all to the countries already maintaining Su-30. It general director АХК "Sukhoi" Michael Pogosjan has declared in published today interview to the newspaper of "Sheet".
Speaking about working out of an aviation complex of the fifth generation, M.Pogosjan has informed that the program is financed in full, and dynamics of working out and preparation of a batch production of a fighter gives the grounds to consider that the schedules co-ordinated with the customer will be executed. He has underlined, as after the beginning of serial release of a fighter of the fifth generation long enough period in parallel will be made and deeply modernised planes of the fourth generation. It shows experiment of the USA - the unique country where the plane of fifth generation F-22 is issued. There advanced fighters of the previous generation, such, as F-16, F-18E/F are in parallel made.
Michael Pogosjan has positively estimated cooperation with India under the program of creation of a fighter of the fifth generation (PAK ФА). Very important, he that such program initially developed as international considers. India is important in the given project and for expansion of the market of sales of the plane, and from the point of view of industrial and scientific cooperation under the project. The conclusion of the contract on joint working out of PAK ФА is expected till the end of this year.
Successfully work under the program regional passenger « Sukhoi Superjet 100» (SSJ 100) develops. Flight tests of the plane go at full speed. They confirm characteristics and the settlement parametres earlier simulated at stands. It allows to hope for successful end of tests in the declared terms. As to signing of new contracts, how the head "Sukhoi" considers, at realisation of such difficult projects there should be a balance between quantity of the orders received to, during time and after the beginning of tests, and also after batch production expansion. Therefore, increasing quantity of orders, it is not necessary to force this process as risks in case of a delay of terms of their performance raise. Nevertheless, to have firm orders at a current stage of the program it is necessary, without it it is difficult to finance batch production expansion. Taking into account that "Sukhoi" is the manufacturer new to this market, and SSJ 100 – a new product, the quantity of already received and prospective orders speaks about good dynamics of the project.
End of the first stage of certification of the plane on the Russian norms is expected in the middle of the next year. Certification under the European standards EASA which reception is planned in second half of 2009 Initial deliveries of the plane in parallel prepares will be carried out on the basis of the Russian certificate.
As to strategy of development of the civil project "Sukhoi" creation of planes большей and smaller dimension, and also business-dzheta is planned. Decisions under these projects it will be declared in the near future. Today the main task, concludes Michael Pogosjan, - to achieve successful certification of the base plane and to begin its batch production. The basic resources of the company are concentrated to performance of this problem.
