Russia Unveils New Passenger Jet
Until recently, Sukhoi, a venerated Russian aerospace firm with a long history
based in the Siberian city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur, produced only warplanes. But
that's about to change: The company proudly presented its new passenger plane,
the Superjet 100, in the country's far east on Wednesday. Sukhoi unveiled the
new plane, the first of this type since the demise of the Soviet Union, before
a crowd of about 1,000 invitation-only Russian guests and foreign investors.
The Superjet provides room for between 78 and 98 passengers and is being built
by the Russian company in cooperation with former Cold War enemies like
America's Boeing. The company developed the Superjet 100 to compete with
companies that already control major shares of the market for regional jets,
including Canada's Bombardier and Brazil's Embraer. Following a test phase in
2008, Sukhoi plans to produce up to 30 planes in 2009. Seventy-one Superjets
100 have already been ordered -most of them by Russia's Aeroflot airline, but
10 have also been ordered by Italian airline Itali. The goal is to sell 1,000
planes during the next 15 to 20 years. Seventy percent of the aircraft are
expected to be sold outside of Russia, the company announced. The maiden flight
is expected to take place this year, and the company is expected to apply for
an air worthiness certificate for the Superjet 100 from European and US
authorities next year.
Sukhoi CEO Mikhail Pogossian welcomed the "birth of a child of the new era, a
modern and integrated industry." Clearly, Russia wants to use the passenger
plane to revive its past successes in aviation. Following the dissolution of
the Soviet Union, passenger plane construction suffered a dramatic crisis.
Business contracts from the communist former Soviet satellite states were lost,
and Russia itself came close to bankruptcy. During their best days, the Soviets
built more than 100 passenger planes a year, but during the 1990s, production
almost ground to a halt. Last year, a mere eight airplanes were delivered in
the entire country -as many as Europe's Airbus delivers in a single week.
President Putin has long been pushing to turn the country into an aviation
superpower again. The man widely seen as his most likely successor-Vice Premier
Sergei Ivanov, who is currently responsible for military and industrial policy
-wants Russia to control between 10 and 12 percent of the global passenger
plane market by 2024. At present, the Russian share of that market is less than
1 percent.Ultimately, Putin wants to prove that the Russian aviation industry
will soon be capable of doing more than merely supply Western aviation giants
Airbus and Boeings with parts. And he wants to restore the injured pride of a
nation once famous for its aviation achievements. Even Brazil has overtaken
Russia with its Embraer planes -a country that, at best is associated in Moscow
with the export of coffee and soccer players.
Putin wants to prove his new Russia is capable of more than providing oil and
natural gas. The giant empire wants to demonstrate that its rediscovered role
as a superpower is not based simply on its nuclear arsenal and natural
resources, but also on its imminent economic might.
