Reduced Thrust Take-Off Certified for Sukhoi Superjet 100

Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company received a Supplemental Type Certificate, which allows Sukhoi Superjet 100 to perform reduced thrust takeoff. Operating mode with engines working with a reduced engine speed and lower turbine gas temperature allows to reduce engine load and to extend engine lifetime, so this, in turn, minimizes aircraft maintenance cost. Reduced thrust takeoff mode on Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft can be used in the airports with runway exceeding 2000 meters in length. Being a part of Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft development program, tests have been conducted on a prototype 95003 in Ramenskoe aerodrome, in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. During
