 PROGRAMME STATUS

STRENGTH TESTS

Strength tests ensure safe operation of aircraft during entire life.

Unprecedented large-scale strength tests have been implemented,
as the significant part of the airframe is made of composites.

 Static tests to identify ability of the aircraft’s construction to withstand

high one-time loads
 Endurance tests to ensure prognosis of construction behavior
under repetitive loads, indicative for typical operation
 Climate tests, bird-strike tests, lightning-strike tests,
fire-resistance tests, etc.

Tests are performed at TsAGI, TsIAM, Aviatest

STATIC STRENGTH TESTS

The following tests have been accomplished:

 hundreds of similar-in-design samples representing operation
of major structural elements;
 fin;
 stabilizer;
 landing gear;
 full-scale samples of high-lift devices and empennage made of composites
(flaps, aileron, air-brake, spoilers, elevators, and rudders).
