Sukhoi working on a 120-seat Superjet
Sukhoi Civil Aircraft has begun development on a stretched version of the Superjet 100 (SSJ100). Marketing efforts have been relatively quiet, so far, but the design’s outlines have been clearly defined. The seating capacity will be increased by 20 to 120. “We do not want to go into the narrowbody [aircraft] market,” Nazario Cauceglia, CE of SuperJet International, the marketing arm for the aircraft, said. A new wing, with a higher aspect ratio, is needed. The winglets the company is developing (to cut the fuel burn of the SSJ100) would not suffice, according to Cauceglia. The range of the first stretched version will be set at 2,000 nm, between the ranges (1,500 nm and 2,400 nm) of the two existing variants of the SSJ100. <br/>
