Chemezov noted that at the end of the year they will begin testing a fully localized aircraft. Earlier, Rostec said that high-strength glazing was replaced for the crew cabins of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 and the external lighting equipment of the aircraft. Such glasses are produced by the Obninsk scientific and production enterprise "Technology". They are completely made of Russian materials, the glazing is equipped with heating for flights in any weather conditions and has passed tests for resistance to collisions with birds. Rostec noted that the SJ-100 will replace foreign airliners on Russian airlines and will become one of the main aircraft for domestic airlines. As part of import substitution, more than 40 foreign systems and units were replaced in it. In 2024, Russia plans to produce more than 40 PD-8 engines for the Sukhoi Superjet 100.
